Bowen Rd - Pettit Rd Welcome to your own private slice of Niagara, a beautifully updated brick farmhouse set on 5.36 picturesque acres along a quiet Fort Erie road. From the moment you arrive, the property feels like full-time cottage life, with surrounding woods, a private pond with a dock, carved walking trails that wind through the forest and across streams, as well as paddock areas, box gardens, fruit trees, a small livestock shed, and chicken and guinea coops ready for the hobby farm of your dreams. Inside, warm and inviting living spaces are anchored by a stunning two-storey family room with catwalk, a cozy main-floor room with woodstove perfect for quiet mornings with a book, and large windows that pour natural light and scenic views into every season. Picture sunrise coffee on the back deck as the sun climbs over the trees by the pond, summer afternoons boating on the pond, autumn walks down the quiet road to the Niagara River Parkway, and winter evenings skating on your own pond before warming up beside one of the woodstoves. A recently built 28x40 detached garage with 60-amp service, poured concrete floor and foundation walls offers serious workshop and storage space, and the side deck is already primed for a future sauna or hot tub addition. Extensive updates deliver true peace of mind: steel roof (2020), most windows replaced, new back slider, new side deck and covered porch, WETT-certified main floor fireplace (2022), updated copper wiring and plumbing, generator hookup with surge protection, pump and pressure tanks, backup sump pump, and renovated primary and upstairs bedrooms. 3 minutes to the QEW, 7 minutes to shopping, 16 to Costco, and just over 20 to St. Catharines, this is rural-luxury living without the trade-offs. Whether you are homesteading, hosting, hobby-farming, or simply coming home to exhale, this is the kind of lifestyle property where every season brings something to love. (id:27476)
