It's almost impossible to find a true 5 bedroom home with all the bedrooms on the second storey and a 14 foot laundry room that will be much appreciated on laundry day. Take a look at the floor plan and the expansive room sizes and you'll agree that it will be hard for your family to outgrow this spacious jewel of elegance. Located in the charming Bruce village of Mildmay, you will have the conveniences of a much larger centre including a modern grocery store, pharmacy, hardware store and LCBO. The well respected school system, summer pool, active minor sports clubs and social groups will keep your family entertained throughout the year. A short 10 minutes from Walkerton's secondary schools, 37 minutes to Lake Huron's beaches and only 45 minutes to Bruce Power. Only 1 hour to Owen Sound and 1.5 hours to Kitchener if you need to make a visit to the city. From the photos you see that this alluring home is the pride of a close knit, quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the village. Built in 2004 and expanded in 2009 by the respected Ruetz Builders it has all the comforts, efficiencies and convenience of a newly built home. The home now features a 2nd formal living room , a music room for your grand piano and a remarkable 41 foot combined family room, dining area and open concept kitchen across the back of the main floor.

The summer photos will hi-lite the manicured lawns and gardens, the rear deck and the unobstructed views of open farmland behind the home.

Owen Sound, Ontario
Where Is Owen Sound?
Owen Sound, Ontario lies approximately two hours northwest of Toronto and is a central hub for all destinations in Grey and Bruce counties. Located approximately 30 minutes from Blue Mountain, one of Ontario’s most popular skiing and snowboarding destinations. Owen Sound and the surrounding area is warmly called home by over 30,000 people living at the base of Georgian Bay, where the Sydenham River and Potawatomi River converge. In the summer months you will find Owen Sound to be a thriving city in close proximity to Sauble Beach, a very popular destination for both local traffic and tourists alike, as well as many smaller towns with lots of activities and venues for recreation and relaxation. Owen Sound serves as a meeting point of four of Ontario’s provincial highways: Highway 6&10 from the south, Highway 26 from the east, and Highway 21 from the west.
Being established in 1851, Owen Sound includes many different types and styles of homes for sale. A prospective buyer will find century homes with original hardwood flooring and crown mouldings, intimate war-time houses suitable for retirement living or small families, split level bungalows, updated retro houses and a more modern flare of newly built houses in suburbs throughout the town.
Nature, Outdoors, and Activity
Buying real estate in Owen Sound means you can spend your days doing things most people only dream of. In Owen Sound you can experience snowboarding and skiing, snowshoeing and hiking the Bruce Trail in the winter, the kilometers-long sand beach and waters of Sauble Beach and Port Eglin in the summer. You can live in some of Ontario’s most beautiful scenery if you invest in Owen Sound real estate. Owen Sound itself boasts a beautiful harbour, with many walking paths, trails, and parks to enjoy the extensive waterfront.
If you desire to escape the fast-paced city life with your own piece of land on which to build the home of your dreams, I can help you to find the perfect vacant lot or land for sale in Owen Sound. With both budget and luxury home builders in the area, incredible landscaping professionals and top-notch tradespeople, no size or complexity of home build is too great or small.
There are many homes for sale in Owen Sound and Grey Bruce areas, and with my extensive knowledge of the local area and my commitment to learning you and your likes and dislikes, I am confident that I will be able to find not just house that you like, but a place that you can call home.
