Muir Line is in Norwich Twp, but it's also a horse paradise

You'll love this stunning 3-bedroom updated ranch home on 15 acres

Amenities: 2 barns, 4 paddocks, a sand ring, and more than 3,000 feet of composite fencing  

By Mark Schadenberg

A rare opportunity now exists for horse lovers who want to reside near Woodstock and Brantford.

As a full-time Realtor, one of our tasks is to search out recent sales of similar type properties – it doesn’t matter if it’s a detached house on a city street or a rural paradise.

After scrolling through sales of hobby farms currently set up for horses, it is fair to say that a unique opportunity currently does exist for a family with a passion for horses. The combination of house, barns, property, and its additional amenities are all located here.   

814973 Muir Line Road, Norwich Township

About 100 metres south of Highway 2 at Creditville

MLS # : 79580

Asking: $995,000 (New Price)

Property: 15 acres (690 x 1000; slightly irregular)

Amenities: 4 paddocks, sand ring, 2 barns (main barn has 6 horse stalls)

House: Perfectly updated 3-bedroom ranch with amazing kitchen & updated finished basement.

Although their names are not posted on the mailbox, currently 3 horses call 814973 Muir Line home, and while they live outside mostly enjoying the 4 paddocks, 4 run-in shelters (on a blustery day), and automatic drinking water system . . . when it is time to rest and relax the main horse barn (47 x 31) has 6 stalls with comfort-floor matting. The 15 x 15 tack room is a great space for saddles, boots, blankets, (a sweater for you) and a spot on the floor for Spot to nap, and also includes a rough-in for a bathroom.

The large paddocks, along with a 100 x 100 sand ring are all enclosed with maintenance-free composite fencing. I could state here how much it cost to install this 3,000 (+) feet of ‘forever’ fencing, but instead let’s just say it’s a property feature the next owner will be glad to enjoy and utilize.

A summary could say it’s luxury living or a spa for horses thanks to the attention to detail by the owners.

One of the current horses is a retired harness racing gem, so an oval could be re-established at the property. (Owners have overhead pictures depicting where a previous track was located).

However, your horse thinking could be equestrian and the fenced-in paddocks could easily have a dedicated use for dressage, jumping, a canter, or trot. While you ride your thoroughbred in a trot, you could rehearse your cantor role for choir time.

Tack Room In White Barn

 

Adding to overall impression here is the fact that the back 2 acres of the property is treed, so there’s additional forest to enjoy.

If your family owns 2 or 3 horses, you can easily gain (significant) additional (monthly boarding) income from the other stalls in the main barn or the secondary barn. The additional other barn, which is actually closest to the house, is larger at 65 x 32 and includes indoor parking for your farm vehicles, and a second-floor loft for hay, straw, etc. (Many pictures are posted on this blog.)

To add to ‘convenience’ and the always necessity for H2O, the farm has a natural pond, which adds to the serene beauty of this hobby farm, and most certainly its overall value. The property does have a drilled well and also a (active) dug well.

THE HOME

There is a beautifully updated ranch home too – built around 1968, but with countless improvements has created today’s comfort for the property owner.

The home features 3 bedrooms and a stunning large eat-in kitchen with cherry cabinets and stainless appliances (included). The quartz countertops and overall style of the kitchen is a top selling feature.

There are also 3 completely updated bathrooms. The main bathroom has a luxury clawfoot-style tub and separate shower. There is also a 2-piece ‘powder room’ near the kitchen. In the basement, is a stunning bathroom with large walk-in shower with a quality ceramic-tile surround and glass doors.

The fully finished and recently renovated basement has a toasty warm gas fireplace in the spacious recroom. It’s a great place for a sectional sofa to watch movies after a day of grooming and galloping.

The lower level also includes a one-of-a-kind two-room den/office which could be ideal for a work-at-home lifestyle such as a physiotherapist. There are double doors separating the two areas.

Back on the main floor, the updated and improved living room includes recessed LED lighting, a large picture window, crown molding, pocket doors between the front foyer, and a gas fireplace.

Smartly for long-term investment and the concept of maintenance-free construction, the house also includes a lifetime steel roof, and modern soffit, fascia, rain gutters, and updated windows.

The list continues as the home includes central air, water softener, water purifier, and central vac.

With a 200 amp breaker box and a back-up generator for the house, the overall value is quickly seen in all facets and ingredients of this hobby farm – the remarkable ranch house, the property’s acreage, the zoning for horses, the composite fencing, the barns, the pond, the forest, the fact it’s on a paved road, and the overall proximity to Woodstock.
