Original Remarks

Historic treasure - Irish Block - meticulously restored. Set on 100 acres of classic countryside, this thoughtfully restored 1866 farmhouse blends historic character with comfortable, modern living in a truly private rural setting. Just a short drive to Owen Sound, Meaford, and nearby beaches, trails, ski hills, shopping, and dining, it offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenience. A welcoming front porch opens into a home where original details have been carefully preserved and paired with custom updates throughout. Cherry wood flooring, sections of original wainscotting, and deep-set windows give every room warmth and character while framing peaceful views of the surrounding land. The country kitchen features pine cabinetry and a central island, designed for both everyday use and gathering. Off the main living spaces, a formal living room with an adjoining ensuite den offers flexibility and could easily serve as a main floor primary suite. The family room is bright and comfortable, with a walkout to a 16' x 22' cedar deck overlooking open countryside. The dining room flows into a sunroom wrapped in windows on three sides, capturing southern views toward Pasture Island.Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a sitting area and a fireplace, creating a quiet retreat.
