The Property

Located in the very desirable north-east quadrant of Kennedy Rd & Aurora Rd, just north of the prestigious subdivision of Trail-of-the-Woods, this unique “one-of-a- kind”, picturesque 50 acre (approximately) premium estate lot with an idyllic setting is prime for someone to build their “country estate dream home” ensuring complete privacy. Part of this property lies within the Greenbelt and the remainder within the Oak Ridges Moraine. A mixed hardwood/softwood forest with mature trees throughout the property not only offers privacy but also provides a texture of colours & clean air to breath. To own a property such as this would give one a sense of contentment & peace. Truly a nature lover’s paradise and yet so close to Toronto! The only traffic jams here would be the seasonal birds at your feeder!

Property Taxes The property taxes for 2016 were $ 5,771. There is potential for having these taxes reduced by getting an approved forest management plan (“FMP”). To find out more about how to go about obtaining a FMP visit the website listed on the “Some Useful Websites” page included in this brochure.

Financing The Property

The owner may consider taking back a mortgage on the property should the Buyer meet satisfactory qualifications.

What About Future Value? One thing is for certain – parcels of available “estate” lands to develop are becoming more difficult to find. Acquisitions of 50 acres so close to the Toronto GTA are now rare. Over time existing land with or without structures have gone up in value and over time will continue to do so. What an opportunity for someone to invest in this rare 50 acre parcel that has protected greenspace around it!

Also Suitable For Buyers Looking For:

An excellent property for personal/family development as well as an investment

property expected to increase in value over time

Potential to combine self-employment involving research, consulting services within an estate home or a permitted accessory building

Potential to fence in an area where pet dogs can run freely A network of trails through a private property suitable for nature walks, jogging,

cross-country skiing & riding, as well as internal travel by ATV or snowmobile

Riding stables nearby A property with a lot of fresh air quality – this property is north of the GTA smog

belt and an estate home built on this property would be buffered from “bad air” by the surrounding forest

A property away from traffic noise yet a short distance to Hwy 404 (~6 minutes away; 6.5 kms.) for accessing cottages & downtown Toronto

Single detached dwelling

Wildlife, forestry management Accessory uses, buildings & structures (e.g., shed in relation to equipment for
