12 Ponds Estate: Explore this private, 100-Acre Country Estate in Prince Edward County! Located just 10 minutes north of Wellington at the end of a quiet country road, 12 Ponds Estate offers an exceptional opportunity to own a rolling 100-acre property. Peaceful, private, and full of character, this remarkable property blends classic country charm with the space, flexibility, and natural beauty buyers dream of. The main residence is an inviting three-bedroom, two-storey home featuring high ceilings, a welcoming wraparound porch, stone wood-burning fireplace and timeless rural appeal. A convenient Main Floor Bedroom and Bathroom combined with 2 more bedrooms on the 2nd floor with another bath provides ample space for everyone's privacy. The basement is full height and unfinished, with a walk up to outside, presents more opportunity for future development. Set within pastoral surroundings, this home provides a warm and comfortable retreat with views across open meadows, defined fields, gardens, and distant woodlands. Adding to the property's versatility, the original farmhouse has been maintained as a separate two-bedroom guest house-ideal for extended family, visitors, rental potential, or a private studio setting. A large detached garage with loft space offers even more room for hobbies, storage, creative work, or a quiet escape. The land is equally impressive. Approximately 40 workable acres are fenced with split rails, while refurbished barns support a range of agricultural, equestrian, or hobby farm uses. The south end of the property includes approximately 12 acres of hardwood forest, complemented by numerous ponds and streams that create a serene natural habitat and attract abundant wildlife.
