7854 Sideroad 21, Mapleton ON N0G 1A0

Unique chalet-style home on 10 acres of forest just north of Fergus/Elora, 30 min to Guelph and just over an hour from Toronto. A 3 car garage sits below a potential in-law suite or artist’s studio, with a workshop between the garage and main house. In the main house there is extensive custom woodwork, including foyer floor, live edge black walnut staircase and trim, and reclaimed wood bathroom vanities. Both levels have efficient radiant in-floor heating and overlook the pool area, where grape vines provide shade in the summer and allow sunlight to beam in during the winter. The upper level features cathedral ceilings and massive windows with breathtaking views. A wood stove in the family room provides ambience in the winter and a breezeway provides extra entertaining space. The kitchen has ample storage and counter space, and is connected to another living/dining area with modular built-ins. The above grade lower level has the bedrooms and bathrooms. The walk in shower in the private ensuite is roomy, with rain head and jets. The other two bedrooms are generous in size; all bedrooms feature a walkout to the pool area. The pool area is unique; it is not winterized, but it is in-ground and covered from the elements, so it can be run year round, and can be used as a cold plunge in the winter after sauna (custom cedar and fieldstone, wood-fired). There are built-in planters beside the pool for gardening year round. This space will have your creative design mind spinning! The pond is brightly lit for evening ice skating and has European water lilies to enjoy in the summer. Large, fully fenced yard wrapping behind the house for pets, kids, or a small hobby farm. Two outbuildings (barn and workshop) offer the handyman so many options; the workshop has upgraded 100 amp service for all your 220V woodworking tools, with rough in for kitchen and bath. A groomed trail extends the entire 10 acres for walks, cross-country skiing, ATV’s/dirtbikes, and foraging for wild edibles.
