Overview
Welcome to Vinemount Farm. This one-of-a-kind property is situated on more than 6-acres surrounded by beautiful Conservation land, with maintained lawns for activities and wooded walking trails. Located just a short drive to the quaint downtown areas of both Dundas and Ancaster, and only minutes to The Dundas Valley Trail Centre – a replica Victorian Train Station with access to more than 1400 KMs of trails including The Bruce Trail and the Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail.
This stunning residence consists of two Victorian era railway stations that were located on the former Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway line. The first building to be moved here was located at Vinemount, a small community located on Ridge Road on the escarpment above Grimsby. The second building was the TH&B station at Stoney Creek below the escarpment. Originally built in 1895 and moved to the property in the 1950’s, both structures have been restored to meet or surpass current building codes with safety, comfortable living and modern amenities as a focus, while retaining the original ambience and history of classic railway architecture. The L-shaped configuration provides a magnificent view of the Dundas Valley from any room in the home or from the fantastic wrap around cedar deck. Located at a prominent position of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking the Canadian National Railway main line. The bungalow style with walkout allows a grade level access into the main floor as well as separate grade level entrances to the lower level offering a full in-law suite. The original character and architectural details are conceptually preserved but the structure is completely rebuilt to reflect current standards and to encompass contemporary lifestyles.
Also on the property, there are seven gorgeous flower gardens with plantings and perennials, and a 24’ x 40’ dream garage and workshop. It’s fully insulated with HVAC and a car lift. When used for storage, it can accommodate four or even five vehicles.
The house has an underground closed loop Geothermal system that provides heating and cooling. The garage has an LG Ductless heat pump. Both the house and garage enjoy 200-AMP service. There is a backup generator and a WETT-Certified wood stove in the event of a power outage. The property has seen many upgrades over the years and there has been a concentrated effort to make changes that are ecologically friendly and energy efficient.
Note: Pond belongs to farm land adjacent to 106 Middletown Road.
