Located just minutes south of the town of Mount Forest in the heart of a Mennonite community, is this century stone farmhouse with addition on 99 acres with the Smokey Creek meandering through it. Well back from the road, over a bridge and up a hill the house is screened by large trees and enjoys great privacy. The home (approximately 3500 sq. ft. of finished space includes the addition) has kept all the charm of days long past where the builders of a century ago took great care and time to finish the interior of these homes. Built with field stone (most likely found on the land itself), it still stands strong today after a century. The original wood moulding around all the deep window wells, doors and baseboards have all stood the test of time. There is even a charming French marble fireplace in the formal living room. A more recent addition to suit modern needs was put on the house and measures approximately 900 sq. ft. It is the Great Room with woodburning fireplace at one end and the open concept kitchen at the other. It was designed and built to flow seamlessly with the century home with its wide pine plank flooring, barn beams overhead and a floor to ceiling wood burning fireplace. The 12 foot long counter in the kitchen looks like it could have come from a general store long ago. The land is gently rolling with 55 acres workable and rented out to a tenant farmer, which could continue and the remainder has more open fields, trees, ravine and the stream. It is a highly attractive parcel of land. This could be a weekend retreat for the city dweller looking to get back to a quieter style of life – or a full time home with plenty of opportunity for land use.
