Timeless Grand River Estate With Exceptional Outdoor Living

A Private Contemporary Grand River Estate Overlooking the Historic West Montrose Covered Bridge. Set on 242 ft of pristine Grand River frontage on 3+ acres overlooking Ontario’s last remaining covered bridge, 29 Tallwood Drive is one of Waterloo Region’s most extraordinary private residences. Tucked away at the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac in the village of West Montrose, this architecturally designed estate offers approximately 7,000 sq ft of refined contemporary living where floor-to-ceiling walls of glass create an effortless connection between the home and its spectacular surroundings. Every room has been thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking river views, while the dramatic open-concept great room, dining area, and chef-inspired kitchen flow seamlessly to an exceptional outdoor living space. The home offers five bedrooms plus a dedicated office, a home theatre room, a 10kW solar system generating MicroFIT income plus a private guest wing with its own entrance, providing flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family, guests, home gym or a studio. Designed as a private resort, the grounds feature a saltwater pool and hot tub, firepit, private pond, a golf short game area with putting green and hitting mat, a professionally designed multi-sport court for pickleball and basketball, expansive terraces, and beautifully landscaped gardens, creating endless opportunities for entertaining, recreation, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the river. A 1,200 sq ft detached garage with solarium provides exceptional space for collectors, hobbyists, or entrepreneurs. While the estate feels worlds away, it is just minutes from St. Jacobs, Waterloo, premier golf, prestigious schools, and everyday amenities, offering the perfect balance of peaceful riverfront living and urban convenience. There are luxury homes. There are waterfront homes. There are estate homes. Then there is Tallwood.
