Primarily 40- to 60-yearolds found this grand estate appealing, says listing agent Sam Mcdadi. “People wanted privacy and land out of the city but still wanted to be close enough to it.”

This “rare find” is on 25 acres and includes a custom-built bungalow with 3,500 square feet of aboveground living space. It was built in 2006 and has four-plus-one bedrooms and five bathrooms. The living room has a gas fireplace and the kitchen has a breakfast area that overlooks the backyard.

Other features include 10-foot ceilings, elegant millwork, hardwood floors and an open-concept design. The primary retreat has two walk-in closets, a six-piece ensuite bathroom and a walkout to a covered porch. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom.

A full, finished walkout lower level includes a recreation room and an in-law suite with a kitchen.

The gated property has a circular driveway, a threecar attached garage and a detached garage with a hoist. In all there are 27 parking spaces, in addition to walking/atv and bike trails.

Towering trees, iron gates, landscaped grounds and an outdoor kitchen building with a wood-burning oven are other exterior features.

Mcdadi says there is also farming acreage for income and tax savings potential.

“There was very good interest when this property was listed for sale,” Mcdadi says. “There were only a few showings given the slower market and it took 130 days to sell. It now takes about 170 days to sell a similar home.”

This neighbourhood, known as Hannon, has grown in popularity in recent years and offers good value, Mcdadi says. “This part of Hamilton is rural with big lots/land” but is close enough to urban areas, shopping, schools and highways.
