Cross Streets: Medway and Highbury. ** Directions: Medway Rd - between Adelaide & Highbury - slightly east of Llyndinshire Golf & Country Club. Imagine healthy, sustainable country living just minutes from London. Hidden off the road, this 11-acre property offers a secluded refuge from the busyness of the world. A rich natural landscape unfolds across cedar forest, wetlands, and a winding creek, centred around a crystal-clear, spring-fed pond with a cascading spillway. The rolling open areas provide space for gardens, fruit trees, and berries, along with room for chickens or small livestock-ideal for those who value food quality and a self-reliant way of living. The pond offers further potential, including the option of stocking it with trout. Not ostentatious, the home is designed with efficiency and intention. Its low energy footprint lends itself to alternative power sources, while its positioning takes advantage of natural shade in the summer and maximum sunlight in the winter, keeping heating and cooling costs low. The energy-efficient AGA stove brings both function and warmth to the main living space, supporting a slower, more grounded approach to daily life. The generous kitchen island is well suited for gathering, while 3 bedrooms and a 4-piece bath complete the main floor. An elevated walk-out deck provides a natural extension of the living space-equally suited to quiet mornings, hosting friends, or unwinding at the end of the day. The lower level adds flexibility with a multi-functional living area, an additional bedroom or office, a 3-piece bath, and direct access to the two-car garage. Designed to stay connected to its surroundings, the home offers views from every room-over the pond, across the gardens, and into the trees-creating a constant sense of being rooted in the land. Healthy, harmonious living comes naturally here, with space for forest bathing, campfire cooking, a dovetailed-corner timber sauna, and cold therapy in the icy waters of the pond.It's a setting that feels far removed, yet remains closely connected, with shopping, dining, Western University and bike routes nearby.
