Rural Uxbridge detached homes for sale

Drainage and footing in the paddocks, a barn with proper electrical and water, an arena that meets the zoning, and a manure plan. Confirm the acreage actually usable for horses, whether the moraine rules treat the barn as an agricultural use, and who plows the lane, because a horse trailer needs a turnaround.

Start under it: stone or rubble foundations, moisture, and what the beams look like. Then wiring, insulation, and how old the septic bed is, since it often predates modern standards. Additions from different decades can hide structural shortcuts. An inspector who knows old farm buildings and a look at hydro and permit history are worth the fee.

No. The one- and two-acre enclaves off the concessions have their own wells and septic beds, and many carry covenants or hamlet-plan rules on fencing, outbuildings and tree removal. Their advantage is a paved road, neighbours, and school bus pickup at the corner; their cost is the same well and septic upkeep as any farm.
