1158 Fallbrook Road, Tay Valley, ON

Every spring, the maples wake up on this 29 acre haven before anything else. The sellers have been tapping them for years - buckets on the trees, syrup boiling down over an outdoor burner - and that ritual is yours now if you want it. Trails wind through the mature hardwood bush behind the house, a bountiful forest abundant with wildlife, native plants, and an endless supply of firewood your family will enjoy for decades to come. The home is warm, well-built, and designed for comfort: built in 2005, three bedrooms up including a primary with its own ensuite and soaker tub, a kitchen and dining space that invites people to linger, and a walkout lower level with a fourth bedroom or office. Heat is never a concern. Electric forced air handles the baseline, and the woodstove, tied directly into the ductwork, can warm the whole house from one fire. And then there is the garage. Three bays. Timberframe construction. A loft above. It is the kind of structure that stops people mid-step when they first see it. Ideal for a woodworker, a mechanic, a collector, or anyone with a serious hobby, this garage will make you realize you have been compromising your whole life. It is not an add-on. It is a destination. The location completes the picture. Swim in the clean, deep, fast-moving water of the Mississippi River just three minutes away. Blue Heron Golf Club is four minutes down the road. Perth is twelve minutes away. Kanata is forty-five. Far enough to feel like you've left. Close enough that you actually will. Land with character, a home worth coming back to, and a garage that exceeds every expectation. If the idea of tapping your own maples next March is more than a passing thought, come see this house before someone else does.
