MAPLE DRUMLIN FARM On March 11, 1840, Tobias Snider purchased 100 acres from the Crown. Built in 1909, this gracious, 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is surrounded by lush perennial gardens and set on a mixture of drumlins, (hills molded by past glacial action), open fields, forests of conifer and deciduous trees, and the meandering Big Head River, which crosses roughly 10 acres at the rear of the property. This classic home has been in the same family since 1970; children and chickens have been raised, and there have been many improvements to the home and the land. The sunroom addition was built in 2003, geothermal heating was added in 2007, and the latest project will see a new septic system installed. The driveshed is equipped with power, making it a nice set-up for a shop, and will house tractors, ATVs, and mowers. Electricity and water are still available at the barn foundation for future pool and/or an outdoor kitchen. From 1996 to 1999, over 32,000 trees were planted on 47 acres: European Larch, White Pine, White Cedar, Green Ash, White Spruce, Red Oak, Black Walnut. There are sugar maples, as well, that can be tapped for making syrup. This idyllic and private spot is 8 minutes from Meaford, where you can experience fine dining, an excellent marina, the Meaford Opera Hall for cultural events, Memorial Park, the Georgian Trail for biking, and the myriad of summer and winter activities that Southern Georgian Bay offers. HST is in addition to the purchase price on the agricultural portion. Carry on the tradition and make new traditions of your own!
