Surrounded by greenery in the countryside of West Montrose, this distinctive Austrian-inspired log home offers a peaceful retreat near the Grand River. With 2,800 square feet of living space and an abundance of indoor and outdoor gathering areas, the home is particularly well suited to family getaways and nature-focused stays.

Inside, substantial log walls, exposed beams, and vaulted wood ceilings create a warm, character-rich setting. The spacious dining area provides room for the group to gather, while multiple sitting areas throughout the home offer quieter corners for unwinding. The primary suite continues the rustic character with dramatic timber beams and a generous layout, complemented by a soaking tub.

The surrounding grounds are an equally inviting part of the experience. Manicured lawns and mature trees frame landscaped gardens, a decorative pond and waterfall, and a charming gazebo. An outdoor firepit provides a natural gathering place on warmer evenings, while the deck offers another spot to enjoy the peaceful rural setting.

The Grand River and nearby hiking trails are within approximately 500 meters, making it easy to spend the day walking, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the landscape. The Grand Valley Trail includes a Middlebrook Road section that follows the river, further adding to the area's appeal for hikers.

Positioned between the Elora area and West Montrose, the home also provides a comfortable base for discovering this scenic part of southern Ontario, from the dramatic Elora Gorge to the rural trails and heritage landscapes surrounding the Grand River.
