About this home
A rare opportunity to secure one of Centre Wellington's most significant strategic landholdings. Encompassing approximately 107 acres, including 75 workable acres, this exceptional property is immediately adjacent to the Centre Wellington Settlement Area Boundary, placing it in a highly desirable location where future growth and development are anticipated. As Centre Wellington continues to experience strong residential and commercial expansion, the demand for additional lands to accommodate long-term growth is expected to continue. With existing neighbourhoods located nearby and municipal infrastructure advancing toward the south end of Fergus, this property is exceptionally positioned as a potential future expansion area. Properties bordering an established settlement boundary are increasingly scarce, making this an outstanding opportunity to invest in a substantial landholding with significant long-term upside. In the meantime, the property offers an exceptional rural lifestyle and productive agricultural operation. The beautifully restored 3,810 sq. ft. stone home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character and features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living areas, and quality craftsmanship throughout. Complementing the residence is a remarkable early 1900s bank barn, large drive shed, and mature wood lot. Whether your vision is to enjoy a distinguished country estate, continue farming, or acquire a premier investment property with exceptional future potential, this offering represents a unique opportunity to own a landmark farm in one of Wellington County's most sought-after growth corridors. Large, contiguous land parcels in this location rarely become available, making this a legacy investment for today and the generations ahead.
