South on Hwy 6&10 from Owen Sound. Turn left (east) onto Story Book Park Road. This unique property of 109 acres is located just 5 minutes south of Owen Sound, Grey Bruce Regional Health Centre, schools and shopping. Nature's paradise for appreciating wildlife with a small cold water stream, filtering through a valued wetland and contributing to a tributary of Bothwellâs Creek. Historically the location of this property is located on a road once called Starvation Corners because of the shallow topsoil on the Niagara Escarpment bedrock. Today, this road is named after an established amusement park. The property has a unique trail system meandering through the forest that consists of: mature maples, ash, beech, pine plantations, hawthorns, wild apple trees and cedars. The perfect ecosystem to sustain the abundance of wildlife that lives here. Enjoy the small cabin in the southern section of the property that is protected by the towering pine trees, near the vegetation at the edge of the wetland. Here you can quietly watch deer, turkeys, migrating birds and more. Lovely curb appeal welcomes you to this cozy home with mature gardens and stamped concrete patios. The first floor has a spacious kitchen and dining area. The living room has an adjacent sunroom that offers plenty of natural light and views of the immense backyard. The first floor is complete with two bright bedrooms and a four piece bath. The lower level adds plenty of bonus living space. Off of the breezeway there is a two car garage and an exterior carport. Over the past 60 years the property sustained 2 bountiful vegetable gardens in spite of the shallow soils. The property has a lease agreement for a cell tower (currently $8,000/year revenue, reportedly increasing to $14,500 Sept. 2024). There is an easement for an underground natural gas line. Your family will love this property to explore, learn and appreciate nature and only minutes to the CP Rail Trail to hike or bike and Bruce Trail to hike. Three bedroom bungalow is being sold in AS IS WHERE IS condition. (id:27476)
