The surrounding area is peaceful, with beautiful views. With this home you get all of the comfort and ease of country living—not to mention the utmost in privacy—yet you are just minutes from the south end of Guelph where you’ll find every shop, service and amenity. You can relax and enjoy the scenic landscapes at home, while also having easy access to the 401, Cambridge, Guelph, Milton and beyond.

Puslinch Township is located in south-central Ontario in Wellington County; it surrounds the south end of Guelph. The main industries here are agriculture, spring water bottling and aggregate mining. According to Statistics Canada’s latest census, the population is just shy of 8,000.

“This is a peaceful, beautiful property,” says REALTOR® Nick FitzGibbon. “It’s a spacious home with a warm and cozy feeling. You have country views and get to enjoy the sounds of nature.”

A home like this would be really well suited for a big family that has children and pets. Says the agent, “With such private country living, it’s a wonderful place to raise a family.” It could work equally well for a contractor who is looking to run his own small business.
