One of King townships most noted properties!  Character filled original brick home with an impressive glass and stone addition overlooking the spectacular gardens, stone waterfall, Marbelite pool and pool house with sauna.  3 car garage, bank barn, second residence and a state-of-the-art cattle barn and machinery buildings which have their own driveway onto the 8^th Concession Road.

The Property

Large dramatic stones mark the entrance to this 98-acre property on one of the best roads in King.  A tree-lined driveway leads to the main residence which is positioned to enjoy the spectacular views over the rolling land and long views.  The house is surrounded by stunning perennial gardens, enormous pieces of granite forming many terraces around the home and a relaxing waterfall into the small pond.  To the north of the home is a heated 3 car garage.   The driveway then leads to the original renovated bank barn and the second residence.

The property is a beautiful mix of farmland, rolling meadows with a large hardwood forest, part of the Happy Forest.
