Property Description
Escape the noise and plant your roots on 23 private, sprawling acres built for true country living. Tucked away just 15 minutes outside Sydney, this exceptional homestead is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, offering complete seclusion, rugged natural beauty, and your own slice of quiet lakefront. Step out your back door and hit the scenic trail winding through the timber straight to the water’s edge. Whether you’re loading up the ATVs or snowmobiles, heading out for an early morning hunt, casting a line, or hiking under a canopy of trees, the land is primed for adventure. Nature lovers will appreciate the uninterrupted peace and frequent wildlife, all with the space to roam, work, and play without boundaries. When the boots come off, step inside a beautifully crafted home designed for gathering. The open-concept kitchen and main living area offer a warm, welcoming hearth for family meals and relaxed evenings. The main floor features three bedrooms, highlighted by a spacious primary retreat with a walk-through closet and private ensuite. Downstairs, the finished lower level is tailor-made for kicking back after a day on the land. It boasts two more bedrooms, a home gym area, and a generous rec room complete with a projection screen for movie nights, watching the game, or swapping stories with friends. From sunrise walks along the trail to winding down on the porch swing to watch the sun go down, this 23-acre parcel offers the kind of privacy, freedom, and country lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find, all while keeping town amenities just a short drive down the road. Come walk the trail and experience it for yourself.
