The Property
Located in the very desirable north-east quadrant of Kennedy Rd & Aurora Rd, just north of the prestigious subdivision of Trail-of-the-Woods, this unique “one-of-a- kind”, picturesque 50 acre (approximately) premium estate lot with an idyllic setting is prime for someone to build their “country estate dream home” ensuring complete privacy. Part of this property lies within the Greenbelt and the remainder within the Oak Ridges Moraine. A mixed hardwood/softwood forest with mature trees throughout the property not only offers privacy but also provides a texture of colours & clean air to breath. To own a property such as this would give one a sense of contentment & peace. Truly a nature lover’s paradise and yet so close to Toronto! The only traffic jams here would be the seasonal birds at your feeder!
Variety Of Plant Species & Wildlife

Compartment one (hardwood) consists of 28 acres & has a variety of trees that include hard maple, butternut, basswood & white ash. The average age of the trees in this compartment are approximately 100 years old. The average tree height is 23 meters. Other vegetation found in this compartment is ground vegetation such as mosses, grasses, trillium, leatherwood and ferns. Compartment two (red pine plantation/young hardwood) consists of 6 acres the prime species of tree is hard maple. Other trees in this compartment are white ash, black cherry, butternut, red oak, scots pine and poplar. The average age of the trees in this compartment are approximately 30 years. The average tree height is 19 meters. Other vegetation found in this compartment includes grasses, trillium and ferns. Compartment three (scots pine) the prime species of trees are scots pine, cedar and white spruce. Other trees include red oak and poplar. The average age of the trees in this compartment are approximately 35 years. The average height is 19 meters. Other ground vegetation includes grasses and ferns. There are various forest berries and fungi on the property for food sources for wildlife. Wildlife species noted in the area include deer, fox, black squirrels, red squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, raccoons, porcupine, coyote, various woodpeckers, blue jay, various finches, chickadee, nuthatches, hummingbirds, ravens, various grosbeaks, ruffed grouse, robin, various warblers, pine siskin, various owls, turkey vultures, various frogs and various salamander.
Property Taxes The property taxes for 2016 were $ 5,771. There is potential for having these taxes reduced by getting an approved forest management plan (“FMP”). To find out more about how to go about obtaining a FMP visit the website listed on the “Some Useful Websites” page included in this brochure.
Financing The Property
The owner may consider taking back a mortgage on the property should the Buyer meet satisfactory qualifications.
What About Future Value? One thing is for certain – parcels of available “estate” lands to develop are becoming more difficult to find. Acquisitions of 50 acres so close to the Toronto GTA are now rare. Over time existing land with or without structures have gone up in value and over time will continue to do so. What an opportunity for someone to invest in this rare 50 acre parcel that has protected greenspace around it!
Also Suitable For Buyers Looking For:
An excellent property for personal/family development as well as an investment
property expected to increase in value over time
Potential to combine self-employment involving research, consulting services within an estate home or a permitted accessory building
Potential to fence in an area where pet dogs can run freely A network of trails through a private property suitable for nature walks, jogging,
cross-country skiing & riding, as well as internal travel by ATV or snowmobile
Riding stables nearby A property with a lot of fresh air quality – this property is north of the GTA smog
belt and an estate home built on this property would be buffered from “bad air” by the surrounding forest
A property away from traffic noise yet a short distance to Hwy 404 (~6 minutes away; 6.5 kms.) for accessing cottages & downtown Toronto
Permitted Uses At The Property Includes:
Single detached dwelling
Wildlife, forestry management Accessory uses, buildings & structures (e.g., shed in relation to equipment for
forest management purposes or greenhouses for agricultural uses)
“Home industry” (e.g., light industrial use benefiting the farming community) Plant nursery Private home daycare Group home It is advised that a Buyer visit the municipal offices of the Town of Whitchurch-
Stouffville located at 111 Sandiford Dr, Stouffville to enquire about any specific use the buyer has in mind prior to offering on the property. The Chief Building Official at the town offices, Andrew Jurrius (Tel: 905.640.1910 x 2452), may also be quite helpful in discussing start-up costs related to building.
