Welcome to your very own Shangri-La- a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind, English Tudor-style retreat offering over 3,000sqft of charm and functionality. Tucked away on a tranquil 1.13-acre property surrounded by trees, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home invites you to experience a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. A long driveway leads to the storybook façade, setting the stage for what lies beyond: a spring-fed, trout-stocked pond with fountain, windmill, and meandering creek; a vibrant food forest with over 25 fruit-bearing and medicinal plants; more than 130 flowering plants and perennials, and sculpted shrubs shaped like hearts, a cat, eagle, and penguins adding a whimsical touch. 2 large gazebos- one convertible to a spring greenhouse- and an expansive rear deck offer serene outdoor escapes. Inside, the heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen and family room, where rich cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a movable island- perfect for both casual meals and entertaining- take center stage. A cozy gas fireplace adds ambiance to the family room, while 4-panel patio doors flood the space with natural light and open to the backyard. A sunken living room flows into the formal dining room with peaceful garden views and continues to 3 spacious main floor bedrooms, including a grand primary suite with a 5pc ensuite, each featuring expansive picture windows that frame the stunning grounds. The private loft includes 2 spacious bedrooms, a full bath, its own furnace/AC, and a sprawling attic space that is ready to be completed as desired. Downstairs, the finished basement is an entertainer's dream, complete with a theatre room with surround sound, a full wet bar, and plenty of space for shuffleboard, a pool table, and card tables. Wine enthusiasts will love the custom wine cellar designed to hold over 400 bottles. This is more than a home- its a rare and remarkable lifestyle, just 10 minutes North of Guelph.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $428/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 117 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Guelph/Eramosa. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Guelph/Eramosa are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Guelph/Eramosa.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
