Tucked along a quiet bend of the Tay River just ten minutes from Perth, this 73-acre estate is the kind of property that almost never comes up. An 1870s stone home, an 1820s log guest house, over 1,200 feet of natural swimmable shoreline, and total privacy at the end of a long private drive with no neighbours in sight. The stone home stands with quiet dignity, its original pine floors and historic millwork carrying the story of generations. Behind that character sits the practical stuff that matters: a brand-new septic system installed this year, propane furnace, updated wiring and plumbing, newer windows on the upper level, and added insulation. Generously sized rooms, a large wood-burning fireplace, and a clean, dry basement give the main house real bones. With 5 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, there's space for the whole family, even if you convert one of those bedrooms into a luxurious spa bathroom. The kitchen and dining room and the unfinished primary bedroom are blank canvases waiting for your vision. Outside is where this home really opens up. Forest and field roll out in every direction, dotted with apple trees and wild berry bushes. Launch a canoe from your own shoreline and paddle 2.5 km into Christie Lake. A boathouse sits right at the water ready for restoration. An 1825 barn with massive hand-hewn beams waits to be reborn, and the rustic log cabin with a screened porch and charmingly wonky floors makes a perfect guest house, summer retreat, or short-term rental opportunity. Just over an hour from Ottawa with easy access to Highway 7. Vibrant in summer, hushed under winter snow. A private world where time slows and history breathes in every stone, beam, and ripple of the river. Book your private tour today.
