Cross Streets: Clara Street. ** Directions: Heading east into Rockwood (from Guelph) turn right onto Pasmore Street. The property is at the very end of the road. Go over the bridge and you have arrived. Few properties offer the extraordinary combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and natural beauty found at 198 Pasmore Street. Hidden at the end of a quiet road on over an acre of mature forest, this one of a kind estate offers an unparalleled setting, with nearly two-thirds of the property bordering protected conservation lands. It feels worlds away from everyday life, yet a school, local amenities, and everything Rockwood has to offer are just minutes away. Designed to become one with its surroundings, the home was built directly into the landscape, carved 18 feet into the limestone escarpment to preserve the breathtaking natural setting. Towering trees, exposed stone, and spectacular views create an ever-changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from nearly every room. The thoughtfully designed bungaloft offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a spacious main-floor primary suite, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that flood the home with natural light while seamlessly connecting the indoors with the surrounding forest. Every space has been carefully designed to showcase the property's remarkable setting. The oversized triple car garage, complete with a vehicle lift, is ideal for car enthusiasts, or anyone needing exceptional workspace. Downstairs, the fully finished walkout level is built for entertaining with a full bar, theatre room, home gym, wine cellar featuring an authentic jail cell door, and direct access to the terrace and hot tub. Adding even more character is the historic log cabin relocated, and reconstructed on the property. Fully self-contained, it provides incredible flexibility as guest accommodations, a private home office, studio, or a peaceful retreat overlooking the surrounding forest. Rarely does a property offer this level of privacy, craftsmanship while remaining just moments from town conveniences. More than a home, 198 Pasmore Street is a destination one that feels like a year round escape without ever leaving the community. (id:27476)
