Description
Beautifully situated in Creemore, Ontario, this magnificent property
sits high atop the Purple Hills with fabulous views of the surrounding
countryside. 24 acres of mature and beautifully manicured
perennial gardens and walking trails for seasonal enjoyment. This
is a very unique offering with a main house (barn) that was created
by deconstructing the McPherson family farm (originally built in
the 1800s), which was in 1997 then re-assembled and resurrected
under the careful guidance of architect Jim Campbell in this current
location.
The barnhouse is a seamless blend of history and character with
contemporary architecture and design. Truly an incredible feat in
this special setting. In 2015 the property was further enhanced
by the resurrection of yet another barn, also from the family’s
homestead in Brant County, near Paris, Ontario, creating a matching
building which could be used for a multitude of purposes; it can
house a car collection, could convert easily to horse stalls, and
host amazing hoedowns in the sizeable loft. The potting shed can
satisfy the avid gardener’s passion even in winter. Additionally on
the property is a wonderful Victorian farmhouse enjoyed for years
by the current owners before the main barnhouse was built and
enjoyed since as a guest house or seasonal rental. Originally built
in 1880 and renovated ten years ago and it is a very comfortable
home in and of itself. A stunning spring-fed swimming pond can
be enjoyed for both summer and winter activities and a workshop
with wood stove completes this splendid offering. A 15 minute walk
to the village of Creemore. Devils Glen Ski Club, Osler, Bluff, Mad
River Golf Club, all within easy driving distance. This is a once in
a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of property so thoughtfully
created and so lovingly cared for.
