It begins with the river.
Beyond the trees, the Mississippi moves quietly past more than 17 acres of lawn, orchard and farmland. At the centre of it all stands a century-old stone home that feels less like a property and more like a place discovered.
Here, life slows down.
Original floors carry the soft patina of generations. Classic trim frames each room, while extra-deep windowsills invite you to sit awhile and watch the seasons change outside.
The country kitchen is warm and welcoming, but just beyond it waits something special: a newly renovated summer kitchen filled with historic charm and cozy character. It is easy to imagine baskets of apples on the table, bread cooling nearby and autumn light spilling through the windows.
Upstairs are three spacious, sunlit bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a fourth unfinished space waiting to become whatever you dream it could be—a studio, library, retreat or something entirely your own. Main-floor laundry and 200-amp service bring modern practicality to this timeless home.
Then there is the land.
A mature orchard produces chestnuts, walnuts, apples, peaches, pears and cherries. Approximately eight acres are currently leased to a local farmer, keeping the property connected to its agricultural roots.
A detached garage/workshop and substantial machinery barn, both with independent electrical panels and water lines, offer remarkable space for hobbies, farming, mechanics or future plans.
And always, the river is waiting.
Launch a kayak from your private shoreline in the morning. Wander through the orchard in the afternoon. Sit beneath the trees as dusk settles across the lawn and the old stone house begins to glow.
Minutes from Pakenham and Almonte, with an easy commute to Ottawa, this is a rare balance of privacy and connection.
Some homes are simply places to live.
This one feels like a story already in progress—shaped by stone, water, harvests and more than a century of seasons.
Now it is waiting for its next chapter.
