Perched on the ridge of a stunning, deep ravine, this property offers unmatched privacy and natural beauty. It's a rare opportunity to create a home that blends effortlessly with the rugged charm of Central Elgin. The lot features a natural high-point clearing, perfect for capturing sweeping views of the mature hardwood canopy and the winding creek below.
The ravine provides a natural buffer for ultimate seclusion, yet you're just minutes from the amenities of St. Thomas. While you plan your dream home, this property can also serve as a perfect interim retreat. Imagine placing a trailer here or setting up a private summer campsite, allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the woods right away.
Located within the Catfish Creek Conservation Authority jurisdiction (O.Reg 41/24), most of the acreage is preserved for its natural beauty and hazard protection. However, there's a potential building envelope at the front of the property, roughly 15 metres deep before the regulated hazard area begins. With the help of skilled engineers, you can finalize a building plan that works with the natural slope and conservation setbacks.
It's perfect for unique architectural designs, including a walk-out that embraces the property's dramatic elevation changes. Property is sold as-is, and buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence with the CCCA and the Municipality of Central Elgin regarding building permits and specific setbacks.
