5892 Old Mill Road, Essa, ON L0M 1T0

Wow….This is an exciting opportunity and a gorgeous piece of land. With planning changes due in 2025 what would you like to do with this 33+ acres? This land is a mostly flat, irregular shaped land parcel with vehicle access currently enabled via Old Mill Road (currently a dead end street). Aside from some well-maintained dirt trails within the Site, it is largely vacant with no structures present. The Site appears to be agricultural land which was left and native successional species have established. There appears to be a small wetland feature located on the western portion of the property. No other streams or waterways exist on the property. According to the Township of Essa Zoning By-Law 2003-50, the entire Site is located within the Agricultural (A) zone with Special Provisions. The Site is situated immediately north,and just outside of, the Townships Settlement Area of Utopia, which contains a settlement of Residential, Low Density, Detached (R1) zoned properties. South of those properties exists the Utopia Conservation Area, a Environmental Protection (EP) zoned area which consists of Bear Creek, woodlands, and a wetland feature. The zoning of the Site and its surrounding environment are depicted in picture 5. The small settlement area of Utopia, located to the immediate south of the Site, consists of single detached homes on deep lots of approx. 0.4ha in size. Beyond this area consist of a mixture of large agricultural lots, interspersed with dense vegetation along side Bear Creek(the Utopia Conservation area). An aerial view of the Site and surrounding environment is provided in picture 7.
