The scent of Wild Roses … an unforgettable fragrance welcomes you to this cherished circa 1865 storey and a half farmhouse. This rural secret hideaway is quietly nestled on a park-like setting that is simply breathtaking, offering total privacy but not a feeling of isolation. Do you long to recreate the soothing quaintness of yesteryear living? Close your eyes and remember days gone by when folks gathered on old fashioned Verandas and exchanged news and views on harvest yields, and the latest newborn lamb, things really have not really changed very much. Today, for those who love a country atmosphere and have a passion for gardening, watching wildlife and enjoying animals in their own habitat, this setting is simply ideal. “Tradition and Heritage” are preserved throughout this charming circa 1895 rural Canadian farmhouse. A Charming wrap-around Veranda, Honey Pine floors and an Architecturally significant arched 2nd storey Window are just some of this home’s treasured features. For today’s active family, modern conveniences and comforts have been combined to beautifully blend with the yesteryear features that this thoughtfully restored historic property has to offer. This peaceful country setting is the perfect backdrop for this spacious Canadiana inspired storey and a half farmhouse. Nestled on a picturesque setting, embraced by enchanting English style gardens, abundant with a potpourri of vibrant colour and artistic palette that even a Master Gardener would be envious of! This lush green natural setting overlooks yonder fields and the perfect pastoral painting of Sheep and their Baby Lambs grazing in open spaces, as your closest neighbour. These sought after Historic Homes located throughout the Township of Rideau Lakes all appear to have stories to tell and await your collection of primitive furnishings and collectibles to weave the yarn of yet another tale. You are invited to enjoy the goodness of country living while living close to the amenities of Smiths Falls and Perth. The pace of life is fast – the future unknown, perhaps it is time to take inventory and find solace in this inviting country atmosphere- an oasis for years and years to come…
