A RARE RIVERFRONT COUNTRY RETREAT...9.9 ACRES, 2,200 FT ON SYDENHAM RIVER & A HAND-CRAFTED TIMBER FRAME HOME!! Welcome to an extraordinary 9.9 acre private oasis where nature, adventure, serenity and convenience come together. Featuring approximately 2,200 ft on Sydenham River frontage winding along the perimeter, plus 1.5 km of trimmed woodland trails and a beautifully crafted timber frame (post-and-beam) home, this is the ultimate four-season lifestyle property. Soaring 30-ft cathedral ceilings, upper lofts overlooking the family room and expansive windows showcasing forest views from every room create a warm and inspiring connection to nature. Offering 3+ bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a metal roof, timeless interior luxury and unfinished full basement with wood stove and additional stove rough-in on the main level. Outside, your private playground awaits: hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and tubing are all at your doorstep. An easy-access level kayak launch site and private bench overlooking the river provide the perfect spots to unwind, while birds, deer and chipmunks make this property feel truly alive. Property includes several outbuildings to hold your tools and toys. Updates include 2018 replacement windows, 2021 Mitsubishi heat-pump HVAC with electric backup, battery-backup sump system. Refreshing well water means fibre-optic internet and hydro (approximately $2,830 in 2025) are the only purchased utilities, adding to the appeal. Ash trees were removed in 2018. A rare low electromagnetic frequency (EMF) construction/environment further enhances this peaceful, nature-connected setting. Follow a tree-lined lane from the paved road to a remarkably private retreat with light traffic, yet you're minutes from Strathroy and the 402 on-ramp. A truly rare opportunity to own riverfront acreage, mature woods, private trails and a handcrafted timber frame home, where every season brings a new adventure and home feels like a getaway.
