48.6 ACRES OF FOREST, A FULL-BRICK FAMILY HOME AND A PURPOSE-BUILT 10-RUN KENNEL, ALL AT THE END OF YOUR OWN TREE-LINED DRIVE. Turn in at 758 South Gower Drive and the road falls away behind you. The gravel lane curves under the maples to a classic two-storey brick home set well back on 48.6private acres, just outside Kemptville. Step inside and a sweeping curved staircase rises through the two-storey foyer, with a gallery landing and chandelier above. Separate living and dining rooms suit holiday dinners, and the family room, with its beamed ceiling, stone fireplace and built-ins, opens through garden doors to the deck. The eat-in kitchen has stainless appliances, a wall oven and a window to the trees. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, including a primary retreat with a brick fireplace and a 4-piece ensuite with glass shower and window seat. The main bath offers a jetted tub. The finished lower level adds a rec room, wood stove and wet bar. You get 2,768 sq. ft. above grade, an oversized single attached garage with inside entry, main-floor laundry, windows updated 2018 to 2022,a 2023 furnace, 400-amp service and a generator that backs up the home and kennel. Summer evenings belong on the deck, with the enclosed gazebo, hot tub and a fenced yard under the maples. Then there is the kennel. Built in 2005, the 1,226 sq. ft. steel-clad building has 10 indoor runs with covered outdoor runs, in-floor radiant heat, air conditioning, its own 100-amp panel and septic, a raised dog-wash tub and a 2-piece bath. Picture boarding, grooming, training, breeding or another animal-related business close to home, or a heated workshop, studio or hobby space. Beyond it all, nearly 50 acres of woods wait for trails, firewood or simple quiet, and the forest is enrolled in Ontario's Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program (buyer to re-enrol after closing).
