L&S #1291. *** Visit Realtor.ca for full 3D walk through *** Framed by stately ash trees that shelter as well as soften the light, this postcard-perfect 170 year old cape with barn and 15 acres sits high above the banks of the Medway River. Whimsical, rustic, eclectic and romantic, this unique retreat is brimming with warmth and character. The interior features wood floors, barnboard, exposed ceiling beams, energy efficient woodstove and a free-flowing layout. Upgrades during the current ownership include installation of a central woodstove and several additions: a separate dining room (with deck access), a main floor den or studio, an expansive primary bedroom and dormers. Upstairs, accessed by a spiral staircase are three bedrooms and bath with soaker tub. A tree-lined path slopes gently to 350 feet of pristine riverfront, ideal for swimming and kayaking and, yes, you can fish right from your property. From the fire pit at the waters edge, watch cows peacefully grazing across the river. Surrounding the home are a variety of fruit trees (including a prolific peach tree), flowering shrubs including wisteria, heptacodium and a paperbark maple (acer griseum), ornamental plantings and raised beds patiently waiting to be rejuvenated by new owners. The pièce de résistance just might be the 24 x 30 post and beam barn directly opposite the house complete with 10 acres of its own. Plenty of room for cabins, hobby farm, a campground or simply to enjoy nature. Abundant wildlife (including bald eagles), peace and tranquillity, wonderful sunsets and the magical Medway River. Enjoy the pleasures & privacy of country living without the isolation. Clustered along the banks of the Medway, the community of Mill Village-Charleston includes a post office, Riverbank General Store, fire department and excellent access to the 103 highway. Within 20 minutes of Bridgewater and Liverpool, both of which have hospitals, shopping and more. Floorplans and survey under Documents. (id:47421)
