Nestled on a 2+ acre lot with over 500 feet of breathtaking, secluded river frontage and truly spectacular views, 185 Barden Street is a remarkable 6-bedroom bungalow offering over 3,400 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, timeless charm, and an abundance of natural beauty. Enjoy all the peace and serenity of cottage living, with the convenience of being just 7 minutes to Rockwood and a little over 10 minutes to both Guelph and Acton.

One of the highlights of this home is the truly exceptional backyard oasis, where mature trees, lush greenery, and the peaceful sound of the river create a setting that feels private and serene. The expansive lawn offers endless space to relax, play, and entertain, while the upper and lower decks provide the perfect vantage points to take in the picturesque views. Whether you’re hosting summer gatherings, enjoying quiet mornings with coffee or unwinding under the stars, this outdoor retreat delivers an unforgettable lifestyle.

Upon entering, you’ll notice the impressive living room anchored by a gorgeous stone fireplace that creates a striking focal point and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Rich wood floors and rustic beams add warmth and character, while oversized windows bring in soft natural light.

The bright and inviting kitchen features ample prep space, fresh, clean-lined white cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a stovetop, built-in oven, and microwave. Open wood shelving and thoughtfully curated details, such as a rustic wood beam, add warmth, character, and visual interest, creating a space that feels both timeless and welcoming. The true highlight is the charming dining area, surrounded by large windows that frame stunning views of the private backyard and river beyond, creating a peaceful, nature-filled backdrop for morning coffee, quiet meals, and memorable gatherings. A walkout to the massive back deck creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Off the kitchen, you’ll find a beautiful family room filled with natural light from two large windows and a striking wall of floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, offering the perfect place to showcase your favourite books and décor. This versatile space could easily serve as a study, library, inspiring home office or playroom, and with its separate side entrance, it’s also an ideal setup for a home business.

On this level, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, each featuring hardwood floors, generous closet space, and large windows that capture scenic views of the backyard and river. Completing this level is an updated 4-piece bathroom showcasing a separate glass shower, an expansive floating vanity and a deep soaker tub perfectly positioned beneath the window. Unwind with a glass of wine or your favourite book while taking in the picturesque views—who needs a spa with a bathroom like this?

The walkout lower level offers three generously sized bedrooms, each with lovely views through oversized windows. Thanks to the full walkout design, these rooms feel bright and airy—far from a typical basement. Two of the bedrooms feature brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring. This level also includes a renovated bathroom with a large vanity and a shower-tub combination, along with a spacious storage room. This versatile layout is perfect for large or multi-generational families, offering flexibility and a separate entrance.

The septic tanks were replaced in 2012, the front portion of the roof was updated in 2018 (back in 2015), AC was replaced in 2023, and the propane furnace was replaced in 2025—offering peace of mind for years to come.

Spend your weekends canoeing or paddle boarding down the river—you can even make your way all the way to the Boathouse—while enjoying the abundant wildlife and peaceful natural surroundings. This is the kind of home that transforms everyday living into something truly special. Just minutes away from beautiful walking trails and Eden Mills Memorial Park, offering a playground, sports fields, outdoor skating rink, and a toboggan hill.

Conveniently located just 30 minutes to Mississauga, 40 minutes to Pearson Airport, and under an hour to Toronto, making it an ideal option for commuters. This is a rare opportunity to experience the best of both worlds—an extraordinary riverfront retreat with everyday convenience, where nature, privacy, and lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.
