 This highly picturesque 25 acre property in
Caledon with its original 1860s Century home and
barn is a rare find as it sits nestled on a very private road with direct
access to the Bruce Trail. From the Bruce you continue directly into Glen
Haffy Conservation which is located at the crossroads of the Niagara
Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine. The 100
year old maple lined driveway invites you in to visit this gracious country
property known as “Briardale Farm”. The 2 storey house with its distinct
covered porch, pillars and gingerbread trim are all reminiscent of an era of
high craftsmanship and meticulous detail. The interior has been extensively
renovated and has kept the integrity of the old with the conveniences of
current day living. The kitchen and bathrooms have all been replaced and are
complementary to the overall design. Most importantly,
the infrastructure of plumbing, wiring, drywall, flooring has all
been brought to today’s standards. Decorated in soft warm creams and buttery
yellows with white wood trim and windows, it is truly a classic. A charming
screened “Muskoka Room” on the upper level looks out over the lovely pond,
barn, silo and rising hill to the south which leads into Glen Haffy. A
separate studio is currently used as a home office and is always an added
bonus for anyone who has need for workshop/studio/creative space (not to
mention a “Bunkie” for visitors).
The large century barn currently has 6 stalls with windows in each and could
house a few horses along with a paddock area to the east. Loads of room for
veggie garden and perennial gardening, this is a property that embraces all
those ventures. A spring fed pond with streams flowing into it allows the
level to remain the same year round. Less than one minute to Highway 9 for
easy access to commute, it truly has the best advantages of all that can be
asked from a country property. 35 minutes to the Airport.
