3749 Wallace Point Road — Detached

There are properties you pass by, and then there are properties that are rooted in history. Set on approximately 3.5 acres, only 10 minutes south of Peterborough, this brick farmhouse has quietly witnessed generations come and go. For 50 years, one family has shaped this land, making maple syrup in the spring and apple cider in the fall, cross-country skiing in the winter, farming vegetables through the summer. As you approach the house down the maple-lined driveway, you begin to understand what makes this property special. The land remains rich and fertile, currently supporting one acre of organic vegetable farming, with space to grow. The beautiful home offers 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2 kitchens, and multiple living areas. The layout supports duplex functionality and has been used this way in the past, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or income potential. Inside, the century character has been thoughtfully preserved, with original trim details, wood floors, and a warmth that only a home of this era can offer. The home has been carefully maintained and updated, with many improvements including electrical, insulation, a metal roof, and more. Light moves through the home in a way that shapes the day. The covered and screened-in porches create a naturally shaded space overlooking the lawn. To the north, a creek and marsh border the property, bringing birdsong and gentle breezes. The outbuildings further extend what is possible here. A barn that has hosted gatherings. A large drive shed with space for three vehicles. Additional outbuildings provide practical storage. There is also an income-producing microfit solar installed, with 6 years remaining on the contract. Finding an acreage of this quality within 10 minutes of Peterborough is increasingly rare. This is a property you need to experience in person to fully appreciate the space, the setting, and the lifestyle it offers.
