Whether you're growing into your next chapter or planning ahead for simpler living down the road, this in-town bungalow gives you options. The main floor feels bright and easy the moment you step in. The kitchen and dining area offer plenty of space for everyday meals and weekend gatherings, while the living room with its wood-burning fireplace adds a cozy focal point through the winter months. If convenience is a priority, the fireplace could be well suited for a future gas conversion. Two nice sized main floor bedrooms, a full 5-piece bathroom, and a convenient 1-piece bath beside the laundry room add practicality, especially with direct access from the backyard for summer get-togethers. Main floor laundry and a walkout to the back deck make daily life feel uncomplicated. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level has its own separate entrance and is currently tenanted. The layout includes a spacious family room, a kitchenette area, one bedroom, one den, and a full bathroom. The existing tenants would be happy to stay, creating an opportunity for income to help offset your mortgage. Note: the lower bedroom window may not meet egress. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers room to play, garden, or host friends, and an above-ground pool is included in as-is condition. The detached single-car garage provides valuable storage or workshop space. Located within walking distance to schools, parks, trails, the library, and downtown Flesherton's shops and cafés, this property combines small-town convenience with year-round recreation close by, including Lake Eugenia, Beaver Valley Ski Club, golf courses, rivers, and trails. A solid choice for families, multi-generational living, or those planning ahead for the ease of one-floor living in the years to come.

I have sold a property at 625548 Sideroad 16B in Grey Highlands

I have sold a property at 625548 Sideroad 16B in Grey Highlands on Feb 18, 2026. See details here

Privacy, acreage, and proximity to skiing come together here in Grey Highlands. Set nicely back from the road and tucked into the trees, this adorable 920 sq ft bungalow feels quiet and comfortable without feeling remote. The main level is open concept and thoughtfully laid out, with 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with combined laundry. It's not large, but it lives well. A welcoming front porch adds character, and the second front entrance functions perfectly as a practical mudroom entrance. Off the dining area, a small deck overlooks the backyard, a peaceful spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. The walkout basement is insulated and ready for whatever you envision next. With a wood stove already in place, there's strong potential to create a third bedroom, rec room, office, or additional flexible space. Move in and enjoy it as is, or finish the lower level over time. The 50-acre parcel is mostly treed, offering privacy and the potential for natural trails. In the back corner, approximately 4 acres are open field, adding meaningful usable space for hobby farming, recreation, or future plans. Closer to the home, the yard provides excellent potential for flower beds, vegetable gardens, or expanded outdoor living areas. A detached 950 square foot garage, 38' by 25', plus a lean-to at the rear for storage, provides excellent space for vehicles, tools, or recreational equipment. Located just 12 minutes to Markdale and 10 minutes to Beaver Valley Ski Club, you're close to amenities and year-round recreation while still enjoying the calm of the countryside. If you thought a country property on acreage was out of reach, this is a practical way to step into the market without overextending. Current property taxes reflect participation in a conservation plan and farm tax classification for the open field.

Flesherton Community Pond, Grey Highlands

Size, Depth, Boating Suitability, Fish Species, Public Access & What It’s Known For

Flesherton Community Pond is a small but well-loved body of water located right in the village of Flesherton in Grey Highlands. Unlike larger inland lakes, this pond functions as a true community space. It’s easy to access, easy to enjoy, and plays an important role in day-to-day life for locals.

This post focuses on clear, factual information about Flesherton Community Pond to help you understand what makes it unique.

Some Quick Facts:

Waterbody type: Pond / small inland lake
Location: Flesherton, Grey Highlands, Grey County, Ontario

Surface area: Approximately 60–70 acres
Shoreline: Compact and easily walkable

Flesherton Community Pond is significantly smaller than most lakes in Grey County, which gives it a more intimate and accessible feel.

Pond Depth

Flesherton Community Pond is shallow throughout most of its basin.

  • Average depth: Approximately 3–6 feet

  • Maximum depth: Estimated to be under 15 feet

Its shallow depth contributes to calm water conditions and makes it well suited for casual recreation rather than high-speed boating.

How Flesherton Community Pond Was Formed

Flesherton Community Pond developed as part of the local watershed and has long been integrated into the village landscape. Over time, the shoreline and surrounding parkland were shaped to support recreation, community use, and water management.

Rather than functioning as a remote natural lake, the pond has evolved alongside the growth of Flesherton itself and is closely tied to the village’s layout and green space.

Fish Species in Flesherton Pond

Flesherton Community Pond supports fish species commonly found in smaller inland ponds and slow-moving waters.

Species typically found include:

  • Largemouth bass

  • Pumpkinseed sunfish

  • Bluegill

  • Yellow perch

  • Creek chub

Fishing here is generally casual and shore-based, making it a popular spot for beginners and families.

Boating and Watercraft

Due to its size and depth, Flesherton Community Pond is best suited to non-motorized or low-impact watercraft.

Common uses include:

  • Canoes

  • Kayaks

  • Paddleboards

  • Small fishing boats with electric trolling motors

Large motorized boats are not practical on the pond, and the overall atmosphere is quiet and relaxed.

Public Access, Beach & Park Area

One of Flesherton Community Pond’s defining features is how accessible it is.

The pond is surrounded by public parkland and includes a well-used beach area, making it a central gathering place in the community.

Public Access Map

You can view the main public access area here:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/BYecgpMdF8GtboWv9

Public amenities include:

  • A designated swimming area

  • Shoreline fishing access

  • Nearby parking

  • Picnic space

Residential properties sit near parts of the shoreline, but public space plays a major role in how the pond is enjoyed.

What Flesherton Community Pond Is Known For

Flesherton Pond is best known for:

  • Being located directly in town

  • Easy access for families and children

  • Calm water ideal for paddling

  • Shoreline fishing and casual recreation

  • Community events and everyday use

It’s not a destination lake for power boating or large cottages, and that’s exactly the point. The pond works because it’s simple, accessible, and woven into daily life.

A Local Perspective

Flesherton Community Pond appeals to people who value convenience and connection. It’s the kind of place where you can stop by after dinner, take a short walk by the water, or let kids swim without planning a full lake day.

It doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is, a calm, welcoming piece of waterfront that belongs to the community.

How’s the Market - January 2026

From a numbers standpoint, January was very much in line with last year, with 21 sales this January compared to 20 in January 2025. Even with challenging weather, activity held steady.

What feels different this year is the overall tone of the market. Last January was consistent, though slightly behind the previous year, and momentum faded as uncertainty crept in. This year feels more measured and stable. Buyers are showing up, but they’re cautious and very value focused.

That’s where pricing comes in. Many of the sales we’re seeing right now are happening because of aggressive, realistic pricing, not simply because the market is more active. Price adjustments continue to play a key role in triggering showings and offers, and there is still uncertainty around where pricing ultimately settles.

Takeaway for homeowners: buyers are active, but pricing is doing the heavy lifting. Homes that meet today’s market are the ones moving, while overpricing continues to lead to longer days and adjustments.


Breakdown by Area

Here’s how January 2026 shaped up compared to January 2025 in key areas of our region:
