5977 Fifth Line Erin, ON N0B 1Z0

This private 1-acre setting has an expansive 264-foot frontage on the Fifth Line and the corner lot borders Sideroad 27 to the north. In 1861 the May School was built on this very lot and after 100 years of local education it was removed when Ross R. Mackay school opened. This home features great curb appeal and the lot is framed with a timeless split rail fence. The trees planted during the century old schoolhouse of the past provide mature varieties of pine, maple, and spruce in a serene sheltered space to enjoy nature. Thoughtfully placed Apple trees for baking, cherry tree for beauty and white birch for uplighting add to the beauty of this lot. The dual entrance u shaped driveway offers loads of parking for family toys. The double detached insulated garage with hydro has great possibilities. The 6-seater Artic Spa privately nestled in ornamental shrubbery will keep you outside all year long. Neighbouring forests, ponds and the adjacent rolling hills provide serene views.
