Maple Lane Farm, Mono

Maple Lane Farm, Mono

A Mono Township landmark “Maple Lane Farm” is available.  The original stone farmhouse circa 1837 is one of the earliest homestead properties in the area and is privately sited down a long lane lined with century old maple trees. The main house has been enlarged with a seamless addition and is well positioned on the 71 acre property overlooking a spring-fed pond. Across the driveway is a 3-bay coach house with modern 2 bedroom guest apartment which has been used to host a cooking school! Only minutes away from the town of Orangeville and within 40 minutes to Toronto International Airport.

The Property

The seventy-one acre corner property is situated in the heart of Mono Township. Trees, gently landscaped gardens, orchards, terraces, stone walls and stunning views of the rolling landscape greet from every window. The property has two road frontages and is conveniently located, minutes to shopping, theatres and restaurants as well as public and private golf courses, ski hills and trails and is less than a mile from access to the Bruce Trail. The property is a mix of open farmed fields, high rolling hills with views and majestic woodlands with trails. Up the lane beyond the residence is a very large bank barn.

The Home

The main residence consists of a century farmhouse (c. 1837) with the original details intact. A cleverly melded addition, main entrance, open concept cooks kitchen with family room and large master suite above. The kitchen is open to the family room and offers a direct walk-out to the patio overlooking the crystal clear pond. In the original stone house there is a large living room, a library with fireplace, a formal dining room and an enclosed front sun porch.  Three very good sized bedrooms are discreetly separated from the master suite on the second level. Forced air propane heating (new in 2015).
