Millview Farm 4988 2nd Line Open House Video Tour

Welcome to Millview Farm, a beautiful 47.5 acre rural property located at 4988 2nd Line just minutes to the village of Schomberg.

The original homestead was built circa the 1870s, and additions through the years have greatly expanded its living spaces. The current house is now privately ensconced within a canopy of mature trees, and is surrounded by an award-winning outdoor landscape that mirrors the interior charm of the home.

The driveway ends in a circular fashion around one of the many majestic shade trees, with lush perennial gardens and a natural stone patio welcoming you into the home through one of its two front doors. The secondary door opens into a mud room finished with wainscoting, which in turn gives access to the front reception area.

Much of the home’s interior has been finished to capture the essence of late 19th century houses, and some of its distinctive finishes include rustic-style hardwood flooring, flagstone floors, wooden beamed ceilings and wood trims, wood-burning stoves, as well as barn door entries to some of the rooms - while the more modern inclusion of multiple skylights throughout adds natural light into the home, and maintains a bright, airy feel within these living spaces.

A screened-in back porch allows you to enjoy a bug-free evening during the warm summer months, and overlooks the yard’s gorgeously landscaped gardens which border an extensive flagstone patio. Here is where you relax and unwind while listening to the soothing sounds of a waterfall feature, or watch the fish swim in the adjacent koi pond.

A laundry area with stainless steel front load washer and dryer features modern cabinetry and shelving, as well as two separate counter spaces - one which has a sink, smartly combining utility and pantry storage within this very functional room.

The Great Room, which incorporates a kitchen, dining area, and family room, has a wonderful open concept flow and is ideal for informal get-togethers with family and friends. The main hub of activity, the kitchen showcases high end stainless steel appliances including fridge, dishwasher, and an oven with six burner stove and custom range hood; double sink with apron; a ceramic barnwood-style accent wall; built-in desk; modern cabinetry with granite counters and a granite-topped centre island; as well as an under-the-staircase pantry.

Off the kitchen is a breakfast or tea room overlooking the front perennial gardens, and this charming space provides access to a powder room.

The staircase to the upper level is cozily finished with a carpet runner, and the second level is also finished with cozy carpeting in the hallway and the bedrooms. This level features a beautifully finished 4-pc washroom with tiled floor and shower area, a freestanding bathtub, and a granite-topped vanity with modern basin.

The second bedroom comes with walk-in closet storage; and completing this level is the master suite. Encompassing two separate rooms, this retreat showcases a bedroom with a 2-pc ensuite washroom - and the second room is a spacious dressing area with built-in cabinetry and shelving, as well as a mirrored door double closet.

What was the original home is now the combined formal living and dining rooms. This grand entertaining space has a wood burning fireplace with custom mantle and built-in side cabinets, while what would have once been the original entry door and front windows remain open to the adjacent entertaining room. Off the formal dining area is a cozy den with built-in bookshelves and a solid wood media cabinet.

Across from the family room is a private home office with French door entry, and the foyer space bridging these two rooms showcases the brick chimney of original home. The walk-out here opens to the back yard, its award-winning gardens and stunning flagstone patio areas and walkway - which wraps around from the back to the side yard, ending at an incredible interlock patio off the sunroom and showcasing a massive outdoor fireplace with built-in barbecue as well as a dining area under the pergola.

A building separate from the home has a two-car garage and workshop; as well as self-contained unit with a full washroom and which can be used for commercial purposes, or as a guest house or apartment.

This property also features a chicken coop; a pond; six corrals; a backyard garden shed on a concrete pad; as well as restored barn with eight stalls, three pens, electricity, and hot and cold running water.

This beautiful home and its outstanding rural property is just minutes from the heart of Schomberg for everyday shopping and essentials, while the larger urban centres of the GTA and Dufferin County are just a short drives away via Hwys 9 and the 400.
