Step into something truly special - 157 acres of history, character, and unforgettable countryside living. This extraordinary 1850s stone farmhouse near Lanark isn't just a property, it's a place with a story to tell. Surrounded by rolling fields, mature forest, and winding trails, it offers the kind of space and freedom that's becoming increasingly rare to find. Inside, the home beautifully honours its roots while embracing modern comfort. Original stone walls, exposed beams, and warm pine floors create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and welcoming, as though generations of memories are woven into every corner. At the heart of it all is a breathtaking double-sided stone fireplace, connecting the kitchen and family room - the perfect backdrop for quiet mornings, lively gatherings, and cozy evenings that stretch long into the night. Thoughtful updates, including heated tile floors, a metal roof (2015), and upgraded electrical with 200-amp copper wiring (2012), allow you to enjoy historic charm without sacrificing peace of mind. Outside, the lifestyle truly unfolds. Four barns open the door to endless possibilities - hobby farming, animals, workshops, or creative ventures - while acres of open land and wooded trails invite you to ride, explore, or simply slow down and take in the beauty around you. Wildlife wanders freely, seasons feel richer, and every day offers a deeper connection to nature. What makes this property even more remarkable is the balance it provides: complete privacy paired with the warmth of a welcoming rural community nearby. It's a place where you can breathe a little deeper, live a little fuller, and create something lasting. Whether you envision a multigenerational family estate, a working farm, or a peaceful country retreat, this is more than a home - it's a legacy ready for its next chapter. (id:19004)
