The Property

Rooted in 141 Private Acres

Set across more than 141 private acres in the rolling hills of Monteagle, this is a homestead built to be self-reliant — a place where everyday life keeps pace with the land around it.

Wander the grounds and you'll pass apple trees and maples, productive organic gardens, and outbuildings placed with real intention — each one earning its keep. Past the cleared land, mature forest opens up, threaded with a generous run of private trails. Neighbouring crown land carries you down to Salmon Trout Lake, so open water is never far off.

The residence itself is generously sized and comfortably finished, echoing the materials found outdoors: river-stone and warm wood run through the rooms, tying the interior back to its surroundings. Three bedrooms and three baths keep the layout flexible, while an easy-care stone-and-stucco shell keeps the ongoing upkeep light.

Covered porches and wide terraces wrap every side of the house, each framing a different corner of the property. It's inexpensive to run, sits under twenty minutes from town, and strong internet keeps you connected on your own terms. Clearly tended with pride, it's ready for whatever chapter you write next.

What Sets It Apart

Built Around the Land

A home and grounds shaped for independence, comfort, and a slower rhythm of country life.

A Homestead Built to Last

A solid, well-finished home set up for independent country living — easy to settle into and economical to keep running in every season.

141+ Acres & Private Trails

Open meadow rolls back into deep, mature bush, the whole of it stitched together by a private trail network made for walking, riding and wandering.

Down to the Lake

Neighbouring crown land opens a path to Salmon Trout Lake — paddle, cast a line or take a swim, all a short walk from your own trails.

Orchard & Organic Gardens

Apple trees, maples, established organic gardens, a greenhouse and raised beds — the hard work of putting down roots is already done.

Shops & Outbuildings

A detached garage, a Quonset workshop and more outbuildings give you covered space for tools, equipment, hobbies and storage.

Stone & Timber Inside

A river-stone fireplace, warm pine ceilings and hardwood floors pull the texture of the outdoors straight into the living space.

Four-Season Comfort

Forced-air and wood heat, central air, central vacuum, a partial generator and a wood stove keep things warm, efficient and self-reliant.

Connected, Not Cut Off

Dependable high-speed internet and a sub-twenty-minute drive to town mean you can retreat without ever really disconnecting.

Porches All Around

Covered porches, terraces and decks ring the house, each one opening onto its own slice of the surrounding acreage.
