The Idyllic Family Home You've Been Searching For
**801 Mackie Rd, Ladysmith**
Nestled at the top of a hill, 801 Mackie Rd is a rare gem that combines the best of both worlds: a serene, nature-filled retreat with easy access to all the charm and convenience of downtown Ladysmith.
This stunning home offers 5 spacious bedrooms, perfect for a growing family or those seeking extra space. It sits on a generous half-acre lot with lush, fertile soil ideal for aspiring gardeners and hobby farmers think fresh veggies, fruit trees, and plenty of room for kids to play and explore. You'll find cherry, apple, and plum trees right outside, and a lovely vegetable garden that's ready to bloom. If you have kids, watch them light up when they get to fill up buckets of fresh cherries in July.
The house itself is a piece of Ladysmith's history one of the town's original farms, it was built in 1910 and still boasts its original character, like strong wood beams and unique stonework around the fireplace. The house has been well maintained over the years and is very clean and cozy while retaining its rustic charm. The stucco exterior was just redone last year, bringing a fresh, modern touch to this classic home.
Nature lovers will be in paradise hiking trails are accessible right from your backyard, and in winter, you can hear the soothing sounds of the river rushing nearby. In the warmer months, the air is filled with the hum of crickets, giving the place a truly peaceful, country feel. Yet, you're just a short walk from downtown, with cafes, schools, parks, all within easy reach. It's a wonderfully quiet neighborhood, with little to no traffic (a relief if you're coming from the city!), friendly neighbors, and kids safely riding bikes, playing basketball, and walking to/from school.
For those who appreciate both history and modern convenience, the home also features new appliances (washer, dryer, and more), an outbuilding with a 3-door garage and loft, and a sauna to unwind after a long day.
The property is a rare find a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day comfort in a fantastic, family-friendly location. If you're looking for a peaceful, picturesque spot to call home, especially if you have extended family or kids, this place is absolutely ideal.
