Home Details for 143 Concession 14 Road

A rare opportunity to own a 100-acre piece of Northumberland County history. A severance to a 14AC farm with house, barn, pond, garden is also possible. Set among rolling hills just of the Trent River, this distinctive farmstead combines an 1861 red-brick farmhouse, fieldstone-foundation bank barn, spring-fed pond, productive fields, woodland & natural habitat. Home to Wholearth Farmstudio since 2004, the land has been farmed without synthetic inputs. Heritage livestock, organic growing, stewardship and community have shaped its story. It has supported horses, sheep, heirloom crops, vegetables, flowers and bees. The farmhouse retains its historic character and has a new propane furnace, but requires renovation, including roof and window work. A full-size basement includes a smooth concrete floor with 6ft headroom and upgraded 100A service panel. The substantial bank barn is in good condition, with hydro and water, and suits livestock, storage or a workshop. A shed, breezeway, paddock and greenhouse complete the 6-acre homestead. About 55 acres of hay and pasture lie mainly on good Otonabee loam, with tractor access, partial fencing, no tile drainage and no current lease. The rest includes 29 acres of cedar and mixed bush, a creek, 3 acres of restored wetland, and environmentally sensitive habitat for over 85 bird species. The spring-fed pond is a potential irrigation source. The 7-acre north hilltop hosts Monarch Butterfly Waystation #48455 and overlooks the wetland from the Watershed bunkie. A 9-acre south parcel offers potential for solar or severance, subject to approvals. Environmental audit by Lower Trent Conservation. Detailed soil map are available. Privacy, open views & a genuine connection to the land. Deer & other wildlife abound. Whether your vision is a small farm, market garden, equestrian property, ecological project or a private rural home with room to grow, this is a place with history, character and possibilities that are increasingly hard to find.
