Description
SERIOUS BUYERS IN THIS PRICE RANGE PLEASE - NO TIRE KICKERS PLEASE
THIS ~ 60 ACRE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THURLOW WARD, WITHIN THE CITY OF BELLEVILLE, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T HAVE A BELLEVILLE POSTAL CODE.
"SANCTUARY PARK"
contains all of the benefits of a Cottage AND Home: 16 years old - 2334 square feet including the double garage plus a 1000 sq ft Basement - according to MPAC.
~ 59 to 63 Acres, ~ 5 Acre Revenue Producing Woodlot AND ~ 1 Acre seasonal Pond, Cedar-lined Creek - 30 to 40 Acres of Grassland; ~19 acres of trees; 360 degree views of beautiful scenery - No driving in endless lines of traffic - close to Highway # 401, one of Canada's main corridors - a "Sanctuary" on a paved road in the country which is still very accessable to all of the amenities of a small City.- in an area of well-cared-for homes
The 5 acre woodlot and surrounding area contains Maple, Basswood, Burr Oak, Hickory Bitternut, Butternut and Beech Trees and there is a Cedar-lined Creek, large seasonal pond and a 16 year old Custom-Built Home high on a hill with year round magnificent views.
The hill is high enough to create ski or toboggan runs.
We thin out the woodlot every few years under a Woodlot Management Program supervised by a local Forester; the last time was around 1995 which yielded income of $14,000.00. If you enjoy maple syrup, you can tap your own trees or sell your surplus.
Within 18 minutes of Quinte Mall, 10 minutes to 2 Golf Courses, canoeing and fishing on the Moira River, 38 minutes from Trenton Air Force Base, 49 minutes from Picton, Sandbanks Provincial Park, Lake-on-the-Mountain in Prince Edward County and Lake Ontario.
Stars that are never seen in the city are clearly visible from our hilltop home. Sunsets are spectacular!!
- No hunting is allowed in this Sanctuary as Deer, raccoons, Wild Turkeys, Rabbits and all kinds of birds frequent our feeders.
In order to keep the 30 to 40 acres of Grassland looking like a Park, we have a neighbour who cuts this area and bales all grasses and alfalfa into bales of hay. He pays us $2400.00/year, which pays for more than half our Taxes. This also qualifies us for the Tax Rebate, which reduces our Taxes by 25%.
This neighbour takes good care of our land, plows/ploughs our driveway in the winter time and helps us in many other ways.
Our 2 story home contains: 2 carpeted bedrooms or 1 bedroom and office on the 2nd floor with a 4 piece bathroom, PLUS the Master Bedroom on the Main Floor with an ensuite 4 piece Bathroom. The house has been designed to accommodate a 4th bedroom on the 2nd floor above the Living Room.
It is a bright Open Concept Home with extra large windows which reduces our Hydro Bills, extra high ceilings and a Napoleon "High Country" wood-burning fireplace in the Living/Dining Room with wide-plank Pine floors. The Napoleon fireplace can heat the whole home and there are lots of dead trees on the property for firewood.
A 2-piece Powder Room is located in the hallway on the way to the 2 car garage. The staircase and hallways are extra wide to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers and give the feeling of spaciousness and accommodate the movement of furniture.
The High, Bright and Dry 1000 square foot Basement with Laundry Room has extra large windows and a NEW 4 piece bathroom. It is insulated and drywalled to the floor and painted.
A NEW GREEN "HIGH WIND" FIBERGLASS ROOF was installed in November 2020.
In this era of tremendous demand for daily or yearly rentals, the Basement could be rented out for $2000.00 to $2500.00 per month or $185 per night, as it will easily accommodate 4 people.
We have Air Conditioning, Wireless Hi-Speed Internet, Satellite TV, Central Vacuum (roughed-in), Alarm System, Water Softener and an Ultra Violet Water Purification System and a 200 Amp Service Panel.
We went to the extra expense when building, to deliberately bury the Hydro and Telephone Cables to avoid unsightly wooden poles.
The Home is heated by Propane and Wood Fireplace.
Our Home was built by one of Belleville's best known builders.
Credit Worthy Buyers may possibly assume OUR incredible 1st Mortgage of 2.95%, subject to Bank Approval!!
INVESTORS & those interested in future value; there is an unopened Road Allowance at the south end of our property!!!
Belleville is BOOMING with people moving here from all parts of Ontario, a new airport rumoured to be on the drawing board to the EAST of Toronto, Highway 407 is being extended TO THE EAST, Highways #37 and # 62 have been widened and repaved, massive expansion of the Trenton Air Force Base AND talk of a new University here - all positive factors for our area.
If you value peace, privacy, nature and value, you owe it to yourself to look at this property.
It has always been a NON-SMOKING HOME.
This is a Home for those who love the outdoors and country life and don't want granite counter tops and Italian marble floors.
Excellent location for a Dog Sanctuary!!
Another positive for our Home is that we do NOT have the massive amounts of traffic like Prince Edward County.
COMPARABLES: 241 FOXTON ROAD WITH 7 ACRES SOLD for ~$1,100,000.00 (2023)
February 2023: 27 Acres available near Hwy # 7 for $399,000.00 or $14,777.00/acre near Havelock

There is less aircraft noise in the HILLS OF THURLOW compared to Prince Edward County, far less traffic and crowds and in most cases we have far better weather in summer and winter - AND - NO WIND MILL FARMS!!!!!
This is a "one-of-a-kind" unique Custom Built Home.
