Area analysis:
The Town of Caledon is an area with dramatic and significant landforms, close to major river systems and a
landscape that is rich with evidence of its human history. Its cultural heritage resources range from tangible
built heritage features, open spaces, streetscapes and land uses to intangible cultural perceptions and oral
histories. Non-renewable in nature, these cultural heritage resources contribute significantly to the character, civic pride, tourism potential, economic benefits and historical appreciation of the community.
Remaining competitive with other Ontario municipalities and regions benefits Caledon’s objective to retain and
attract industrial and commercial investment. This is a vital aspect to enhancing this community’s quality of life.
The subject property is located adjacent to the village of Mono Mills It is a lovely a nice rural community
located 7 miles east of Orangeville.
The village of Mono Mills is within the Town of Caledon. It just north of the village of Caledon East.
The Town of Caledon is ideally located just a short drive north of the main areas of Brampton, Mississauga.
The village of Mono Mills is essentially rural in both geography and character. The rolling, tree-covered hills
hold streams and creeks.
70,000 + residents make their homes on farms, rural estates and in small settlements, and include the farming
community, local businesses, numerous artists and artisans, commuters to neighbouring towns and cities, and weekend escapees from the urban bustle. It’s hard to believe that such a pastoral setting is just minutes north of a huge metropolis like Toronto. A dream setting for retirees from the large cities close by.
The scenic countryside is conducive to recreational activities and the enjoyment of mother nature. Explore one of many trails on foot, or strap skis and snowshoes on and navigate about in the winter months. Playing a round of
golf and taking in the spectacular views is another option. A meandering drive through the hills shopping, dining and visiting local artists is a perfect day in Mono Mills area.
Local amenities such as large malls for shopping, dentists, physicians, banks and a host of service industries exist in Orangeville and Bolton. The new Caledon/Dufferin hospital is only 6 minutes away from the site.
Almost half of the population of the USA and Canada live within 800 km (500 miles) - or a day’s drive - of Town of Caledon.
Site particulars:
Composed of 53 acres of land with an impressive period 2 storey brick home which was once considered a home for the
more well to do. One could sever this home and retain the lands only providing an alternative for access to the
retained lands was obtained first. The lands are adjacent to and across from modern Residential development and
lie in the path of the next logical and precise site to develop, with frontage on Airport Rd and close to Highway
# 9 the location is ideal to serve a host of various and short directional commutes, including but not limited to
Orangeville, Brampton, Bolton, Mississauga, Alliston, Newmarket, Collingwood and Wasaga Beach. Highways 10, 410, 400 and 427 are all within minutes of the Town of Caledon.
Although currently somewhat restricted in terms of immediate development on account of the Niagara Escarpment
Commission (NEC) there is real application and expectancy that this site will open up for development.
It has been noted that some area Councillors have expressed and favoured this site as a development especially for a retirement community development of sorts that may accommodate all aspects and ages of retirement. A combination development of ground level condos and seniors style housing would be ideal and well received by area municipal staff and residents thereto.
The site is on the west side of Airport Rd and generally is known as much less sensitive area than those lands east
of Airport Rd. To the benefit of any developer/investor is the fact that NEC will open for additions to minor urban
centres in 2014.
Mono Mills is considered a minor urban centre. Prudence would indicate that an owner/developer should have this
site introduced in advance and prepared for approval accordingly. One of the early preparations would be to choose and/or acquire suitable ingress and egress to the site compatible with normal and good planning practices as well as a plan to address the sewage requirements in a communal system which will be necessary for an intensive
residential development. Several options exist for alternative ingress and egress to the site.
Experienced developers will know how to present and obtain approvals for a needed and ideal site for such development as aforesaid.
Water supply and services are at curb side and were recently improved and installed as of the year 2000. The
municipal water supply tower is within easy sight of the property.
The property has been long owned by the present owner and the owner wishes to sell for personal retirement purposes. Of great benefit is the fact that the present owner has great rapport and acquaintance with many of the present day staff on planning and municipal governments and would be of great assistance to a developer in positive introduction to the appropriate governmental parties who would recommend this much anticipated development.
Asking price is conservatively and market priced at $1,125,000.00.
