Welcome to this beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom family home offering approximately 2,400 sq ft of living space on just under 1.5 acres of landscaped grounds at the edge of the charming town of Campbellford. Ideally positioned overlooking the natural beauty of Ferris Provincial Park, this property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and scenic surroundings. The home has been lovingly cared for and features mostly hardwood flooring throughout the main and upper levels. A large picture window frames the serene backyard, where perennial gardens and several mature fruit trees create a peaceful retreat with no neighbours directly behind. The spacious layout is ideal for growing families and offers excellent potential for in-law accommodations. The lower level includes a generous workshop area, a comfortable family room, and a large storage and utility space, plus garage access. Recent updates add peace of mind, including new siding and insulation, a gas furnace, heat pump/AC unit, and newer appliances including fridge, washer, and dryer and hot water heater-all within the past five years. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a huge deck above the double garage, providing ample space for summer gatherings, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquil setting. Located in the heart of a community known for its natural beauty, the home is just minutes from the Trent River, the iconic Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge, and the vibrant amenities of Campbellford, which included a hospital! A rare opportunity to enjoy space, nature, and small-town charm in one exceptional property. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
