2686 Narrows Locks Road
Tay Valley, ON
- Vacant Land
Approx. 0.47-acre lot in Tay Valley with a drilled well, 200 amp hydro and a two-storey, approx. 24 x 36 ft building, backing onto Black Creek on a paved, year-round county road about 15 minutes from Perth. The 270 ft drilled well (2011) has a yard hydrant and a certificate of well compliance. The 200 amp hydro service (2018) has ESA certificates for the 2018 and 2020 electrical work. The frame building has a metal roof and is wired for a stove, fridge and kiln, with open rafters upstairs. Use it as a studio, workshop or creative retreat, or picture what it could become, subject to approvals: a two-bedroom country home with countryside all around and Perth's shops and restaurants close by. Tay Valley Township has indicated in writing that, based on current information, the building may be converted to a residential dwelling through a Change of Use Building Permit. A septic layout has been prepared by Arnott Bros. Septic approval, permits and any conversion are the buyer's responsibility. The Narrows Locks boat launch, with access to Big Rideau and Upper Rideau Lakes, is less than 10 minutes away. A piece of local history: the property is believed to be the site of the area's cheese factory in the 1940s. Privy on site. Sold as is.
