Property Description
Live, work and play at this historical farmstead, complete with a well-established Bed & Breakfast and the original farmhouse and barn circa 1813. Tucked away discreetly from the road, this property offers an excellent location for business and pleasure – just seconds to Horseshoe Resort and mere minutes to award winning golf courses, Hardwood Hills, Mt St Louis Moonstone, Casino Rama and more – and the peace and privacy you deserve and expect in such a natural setting. With approximately 9 acres of hardwood and pine forest combined with the luxuries of 2 fully updated homes, you will truly revel in the best of both worlds with rural seclusion and modern comforts.
The Main House is the original farmhouse and has been lovingly restored and updated. Entering through a spacious enclosed front porch space, you are welcomed into a light filled area, perfect for receiving guests. Through one of several original French doors restored in this home, you are ushered into part of the original building structure which is an extra large dining room with updated oak floors, pot lights and modern paint. To service this ultimate dining space is a spectacular addition designed to maintain the character and integrity of the home. This addition features a custom maple kitchen with upgraded counters, stone backsplash, stone-look ceramic floors, high end GE Profile appliances {incl gas range, wall ovens, double door fridge, dishwasher}, 2nd prep sink, extensive drawer space, under mount lighting, breakfast bar and more. This crown jewel of a kitchen overlooks the sumptuous Great Room with a gas fireplace with stone surround, lots of windows and natural light, distressed hemlock floors, garden doors with access to a private deck overlooking the forest and a coffered ceiling feature to accent the impressive center light fixture.
For the ultimate in convenience, the Main Floor Laundry is combined with a 2pc Bath and is highlighted with a reclaimed stone sink from the 1920’s along with custom cabinetry and a stacking front load washer and dryer. A very handy mud room is perfect for busy family life with an additional fridge, freezer, cabinetry and storage space and provides access to the back yard and laundry line.
At the front of the home you will find a comfortable Living Room with updated oak flooring and access to the large covered front porch with original flagstone. The Master Bedroom is brilliantly located on the Main Floor for effortless one level living and features a garden door walk out to a private deck, a wall of organized closet space, pine plank flooring, and an original French door circa 1800’s. Within easy reach is the 4pc Main Bath with a sliding French door, original claw foot bathtub {refinished like new}, separate corner shower, and a reclaimed antique vanity with a modern sink. Rounding out the main floor is a spacious office or 4th bedroom complete with the original interior windows from the farmhouse. Upstairs, you will find 2 generous sized bedrooms and a 3pc Bathroom with a corner shower, and 2 walk in closets for added storage.
The Guest House was once the original tack house for the property. It has been magnificently maintained and features a sprawling verandah overlooking the farmstead, an open concept main floor with a dining room, gas fireplace, modernized kitchen, main floor laundry, and an enormous luxury Guest Suite complete with an oversized step-up jet tub, 3 pc ensuite, gas fireplace and a separate entrance. Upstairs, two additional suites await, both with gas fireplaces, ensuites {one with a large jet tub}, and loaded with charm and character.
En route to the historic barn, you’ll pass a detached double car garage and plenty of parking space and property for guests and events. The showstopper of this unique property is the majestic barn, circa 1813. Updated and refreshed, it has become an exclusive location for weddings and special events at a rate of $2500/night. It is surrounded by pristine gardens, landscaping, a fish pond and a sweeping sloped entry way leading to a newer 2 tiered deck and the main doors.
Once inside, the original character will take you back 200 years to simpler times. Natural light filters through the old barn boards and windows to reveal the perfect venue for a rustic celebration. Updated with 100 amp service, this historical gem offers a kitchen area, bar, decorative lighting and lots of storage. It is truly one of a kind. What better opportunity than to take advantage of the best of both of worlds…historic + modern; rustic + refined; work + play. It simply doesn’t get any better than this!
