Description

Offered for the first time since 1967, this rare 17-acre legacy estate offers privacy, infrastructure, and lifestyle less than half km from Hwy 3 and 5 minutes from Crystal Beach. With approximately 1,160 ft of road frontage, the property offers exceptional presence and flexibility. Originally operated as a hobby farm for registered American Quarter Horses, the land combines natural beauty with usable acreage. Approximately 10 acres of protected woodlands and wetlands provide lasting seclusion, while about 3 acres of open pasture offer agricultural, recreational, or estate potential. A freshwater pond created in the 1970s near the barn adds a scenic focal point.The private backyard oasis is built for relaxation and entertaining, featuring a 20 x 40 in-ground pool, 10 x 15 board-and-batten pool house with power and windows, landscaped waterfall fish pond, mature trees, new rear deck, and poured concrete patio completed in 2023.Equestrian infrastructure includes a 2700sq. ft. pole barn with a 30 x 60 indoor riding arena, two 10 x 10 box stalls, 10 x 10 tack and pump room, second-storey hayloft, and dual 10-ft sliding doors for drive-through trailer access. Separate house and barn driveways are connected by a circular drive.The solid brick bungalow offers 2 bedrooms (originally 3), a wood-burning fireplace, and key mechanical updates including roof (2021), HVAC (2022), and propane auto-generator. Well maintained and structurally sound, it offers an excellent opportunity to renovate, expand, or create a custom country estate.Located minutes to Ridgeway and Stevensville and about 15 minutes to Niagara Falls and the Peace Bridge, this is a rare opportunity to own a private country estate held by the same family for nearly 60 years.
