361 Brant-Elderslie Townline, Brockton, ON N0G 2N0

First time for sale in 55 years ~ take notice of this special 44.6 acre property where Deer Creek meets the Saugeen River. In 2007 the family farm was divided into this northern portion and a separate southern 58 acre piece was donated to the Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy, becoming the Mc Sporran Reserve which backs on to this original half. This 44.6 acre farm has approximately 25 acres cultivated with the rest being the home site, pond, creeks, trails and forest. The majestic 1890’s original brick farmhouse stands solidly, decorated by covered porches and flanked by a newer 33 X 24 ft detached garage. Modern kitchen and bathrooms mix among many original features and built-in’s that whisk time away to a simpler era. Vast living-room is perfect for friends and family with looming book cases and an impressive stone fireplace. Bedrooms upstairs have glorious views and another full bathroom for convenience. Basement is the utility and storage area of the house with a newer oil tank fueling an impressive high end oil furnace. Back outside, the old bank barn is not in useable condition, please do not enter. New owner may wish to have it repaired or removed to reclaim the old beams and wood. Servicing the property is a newer drilled well and septic system. Lovely natural pond to the NE of the house is home to turtles, fish and birds. Deer Creek and the Saugeen River flow along the S and W borders and offer superior fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Historically traveling by way of the Saugeen River, this was the last camping stop enroute to Lake Huron making this property rich in history and many stories. If you’re looking for a get-away steeped in nature, this is it!!
