Welcome to 7831 5th Line, Essa, where winding drives, towering trees, and the simple joys of country living create a setting you'll never want to leave. Set well back from the road on more than 5 private acres, this classic red brick two-storey home offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the everyday. Imagine morning coffee on the balcony off the primary suite, overlooking the woods as the sun filters through the trees. Spend afternoons exploring your own trails, watching wildlife wander through the property to your own private access to the Nottawasaga River, where salmon can be seen during their seasonal run. Inside, the home blends warmth and functionality with room to gather, relax, and create lasting memories. The upper level features three bedrooms, including a peaceful primary retreat complete with dual walk-through closets, a spa-inspired ensuite, and a private balcony with woodland views. The main floor offers additional flexible space with a fourth bedroom, a 3-piece bathroom, and a separate office or sitting room that can adapt to your changing needs. Outside, every season brings something new to enjoy, from summer evenings under the stars to colourful autumn walks through the trees and winter adventures right in your own backyard. A partially fenced area provides additional outdoor space for recreation, gardening, pets, or simply enjoying the fresh country air. This is more than a home. It's a place for campfires, nature walks, quiet mornings, and unforgettable moments. A rare opportunity to embrace the beauty, privacy, and tranquility of rural living while remaining conveniently connected to nearby amenities. With a flexible closing available, you'll have the opportunity to be moved in before the new school year begins. Located on the school bus route and served by Baxter Central Public School, the area continues to benefit from investment and growth, including a recently announced $6 million expansion and modernization project at the school.
