Beautiful MidCentury House on 10 Acres near Caledon

Welcome to our country house! We rent it for several weeks a year when we can't be there ourselves. The perfect setting to work from home, relax, walk, hike, cycle, ski or be creative and get inspired.

Located in East Caledon, just north of Palgrave in Adjala-Tosorontio, this mid-century house is perched on a hill set deep into a beautifully forested 10-acre lot with private trails and two pretty ponds.

Escape from the city to this magical, private countryside retreat in less than an hour. About 55 minutes from downtown Toronto, 45 minutes from Pearson Airport.

The first thing you will notice about the home is the sense of privacy, calm & quiet. Located up a long driveway on a serviced road, the house is not visible from the main road or neighbours. Surrounded by equestrian farms and forestland you will feel a million miles away.

Custom built in 1969, the house itself is spacious & cozy, filled with warm textiles and spots to curl up with a book in. The main room features a massive working fieldstone fireplace and a stunning 23 foot cedar slat ceiling with a skylight. Seat 8 people on the sectional sofa and watch a movie on the 60" tv, surf the web, put on a record and relax or dance the night away!

Cook and eat outside on the 1500 sq foot deck (yes, it is a very large deck) we have a smoker, a propane BBQ and a charcoal grill. You can have a picnic in the yard, or you can dine in the large dining room next to the fully stocked kitchen. You can still interact with your guests while cooking at the gas fuelled Chef's stove and clean up is a breeze with the double sink and dishwasher. There are dozens of spices and baking ingredients, a full pantry and a large assortment of cookware and bakeware, contemporary and vintage.

The main floor is rounded out with a spacious master bedroom, kids room and two bathrooms.

Wide, floating, solid oak stairs lead to the lower level that includes a retro wet bar, a hidden closet full of board games, crafts and puzzles and a large, comfortable den that also features a large, natural gas fieldstone fireplace, 9' ceilings, and floor to ceiling windows. The bedroom has a queen size bed and the fourth bedroom is currently being used as a home office (very handy during these strange covid days). The lower level also has a full bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. All of the rooms feature wonderfully large, floor to ceiling windows with spectacular views of the forest below.

The 10-acre grounds include two ponds that are joined by a small stream that winds its way down a gentle hill. The front yard is approximately an acre in size and dotted with mature Cedars, Birch, Pines and Willows as well as Lilac, Sumac and fruit trees. A great area to relax and/or play a game of frisbee or badminton with your kids. There is also a trampoline, and a play structure with a slide, climbing wall, monkey bars and swings.

Well established flagstone steps built into the hillside lead down into the forest that is largely made up of Ponderosa Pine, Cedar, Birch, Spruce and Maple.

There is a washer and dryer and central A/C. There is a crib, a pack and play, and a high chair available if needed.

*There are stairs in the house to the lower level which may be difficult for those with mobility challenges.
