Picture Friday at 5 p.m. The city fades, the Escarpment appears, and two hours later you're here.This 1,189 sq ft chalet is nestled against green space with the Niagara Escarpment as your backdrop - updated, carpet-free, and anchored by a natural gas fireplace that sets the tone the moment you walk in. The main floor opens to a large deck. The primary has its own ensuite and a private deck to itself. Two more bedrooms upstairs for whoever you want to bring along.The best parts happen outside: fire pit evenings, BBQ nights on the gas line, and a brand-new cedar sauna that will become the thing your guests talk about. Mini-split HVAC and in-floor kitchen heating mean you'll use it in January as comfortably as July.The property has room to breathe - a bunkie for guests or a quiet work-from-cottage setup, a garden, and a storage shed for all the gear that comes with this lifestyle. The Georgian Trail is minutes away for walking, biking, and snowshoeing. Ski clubs and golf are close. Georgian Bay is down the road. And you're perfectly positioned between two great towns - Thornbury's boutiques and restaurant scene in one direction, Meaford's shops and harbour in the other. Four seasons of reasons to be here.Metal roof, fresh exterior stain, cedar privacy fence. It's ready.And when life pulls you back to the city? Meaford has no short-term rental restrictions or licensing fees. Keep it as your escape. Rent it when you're away. This kind of flexibility doesn't come up often.
