8371 Hickory Drive W, Strathroy-Caradoc offers a rare opportunity to own a peaceful country property with approximately 21.645 acres of natural beauty, privacy, and lifestyle appeal, all just minutes to amenities and Highway 402. Set in Rural Strathroy-Caradoc, this all brick bungalow offers a sprawling main floor with a fully finished walk-out basement, and a warm, light-filled layout suited to both everyday living and family gatherings. What truly sets this property apart is the setting. Loved by the same family for years, it was chosen for its privacy, the stream running through the land, and the ability to enjoy country living without sacrificing convenience. Over 7,000 trees were thoughtfully planted across approximately 16.5 acres, including pine, spruce, maple, oak, walnut, sycamore, hickory, elm, cherry, and cedar, creating a beautiful naturalized backdrop with rolling land, wildlife, and long-term environmental value. A looping walking trail through much of the property offered a peaceful escape for recreation and reflection. Inside, the home is filled with natural light, with the upstairs living room standing out as a favourite space for reading, quiet conversation, and holiday traditions. Outdoor areas include a shaded walk-out patio, upper deck, gardens, and expansive grounds that have hosted family gatherings, campfires, and years of lasting memories. Updates include kitchen backsplash, flooring in the kitchen and adjoining room, rebuilt deck and rails, roof with 40-year shingles in 2010, updated upstairs powder room, wood flooring in the second bedroom, some newer windows, new entry light, and LED lighting in the upper hallway. Eligible for the Ontario Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program, offering potential tax savings for future owners who re-apply. Peaceful country living just 1 minute to Highway 402, 10-15 minutes to Mount Brydges, and 15-20 minutes to London.
