County Paradise
This ideal “County” destination awaits an entrepreneur to write its next chapter. Former home of the “Eveleigh” family, followed by watercolourist, Frank C. Johnston, its present owners raised purebred South-African Katahdin/Dorper sheep and llamas while running a private elementary school.
The ninety-nine acre property encompasses woodlands, pasture, and a secluded spring- fed pond that readily attracts various wildlife. Deer, wild turkey and waterfowl abound. Enjoy bird watching, gardening, nature walks, horseback riding, cross-country skiing in your own private preserve. Use the opportunity to establish a B&B or farm vacation holiday home.
The century brick farm house surrounded by extensive flower gardens including a floral pond offers plenty of space with an attached two-story studio/workshop suitable for a home business. There is a large barn and additional outbuildings that could be utilised in a number of ways, with a glacial-ridge topography that realistically would lend itself to the booming and exciting vineyard industry being established in The County.
Just minutes from Picton, Bloomfield and Sandbanks Provincial Park, this property has it all. Escape to the peace and tranquility of the country on this idyllic property, or establish yourself as one of a growing number of “County” innovators in the Arts, tourism, farming and viticulture.
