Welcome to 7831 5th Line, Essa: a private country retreat where winding drives, towering trees and more than five acres create a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday. Set well back from the road, this classic red-brick two-storey home offers space to gather, unwind and enjoy every season. Start your mornings on the private balcony off the primary suite, overlooking the woods as sunlight filters through the trees. Spend afternoons exploring your own trails, watching wildlife pass through the property or heading down to your private access to the Nottawasaga River, where salmon can be seen during their seasonal run. Inside, the home offers a warm and functional layout with flexibility for changing family needs. The upper level features three bedrooms, including a spacious primary retreat with dual walk-through closets, a private balcony and an ensuite designed for relaxation. On the main floor, a fourth bedroom, three-piece bathroom and separate office or sitting room provide excellent options for guests, multigenerational living or working from home. Outside, a fenced area offers additional space for pets, gardening and recreation. From summer evenings around the campfire and colourful autumn walks to winter adventures in your own backyard, this is a property made for enjoying the outdoors. More than a home, this is a place for quiet mornings, nature walks and lasting family memories, all while remaining conveniently connected to nearby amenities. Located on a school bus route and served by Baxter Central Public School, which has received funding for a $6-million addition, the property also offers flexible closing to suit your plans. Enjoy peaceful country living just eight minutes from Angus and less than 15 minutes from both Barrie and Alliston.
