Step into timeless elegance and refined country living on this extraordinary 10-acre estate. More than a hobby farm, this property has been thoughtfully curated into a serene, park-like retreat reminiscent of a classic English country house. At the heart of the property stands a remarkable 1876 stone residence, originally built by Thomas and Isabella Fraser and proudly referenced in the Sydenham Centennial History. This architectural gem showcases solid multi-coloured granite construction with finely tooled limestone coigning-an enduring testament to craftsmanship. The home has been meticulously maintained and restored, including expert repointing by a skilled stone mason, while preserving its original woodwork, deep-set windows, and historic charm throughout. A thoughtfully designed board-and-batten addition (2006), created by noted architectural designer George Yost blends seamlessly with the original structure-enhancing functionality while honouring the home's heritage. Carefully integrated reclaimed elements, including a circa-1876 front door from Tavistock and original interior details, add warmth and authenticity. The grounds are truly exceptional-offering a tranquil, landscaped setting framed by mature and rare trees including a magnificent 220-year-old maple, ginkgo, magnolia, chestnut, linden, and larch. Ideal for nature lovers, hobbyists or equestrian enthusiasts. Enjoy the best of Georgian Bay living with nearby access to the natural shoreline. A stony beach at Queen's Bush provides a quiet launch for kayaking, while the sandy shores and family-friendly amenities of Hibou Conservation Area are just a short 12-minute drive. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ontario's architectural and cultural history-set within a private, storybook landscape that offers both tranquility and accessibility. A truly one-of-a-kind country estate where history, nature and refined living come together. Meaford is a 2 hr drive from Toronto with access to 4 season fun. (id:51004)
