Inside the home
This is a restoration project, not a ready-to-live-in home. The circa 1850 stone cottage is built from hand-laid Scottish fieldstone with carved limestone sills — the kind of construction that simply doesn't exist in new builds. The roof on the stone section appears to have been replaced at some point, which is a meaningful head start. The rear addition is a different story. It shows heavy weathering and will need serious work or removal. No interior photos are included in this listing, so buyers should budget for a thorough inspection before making any assumptions about what's inside. The appeal here is the land, the setting, and the bones of the original stone structure. At roughly one acre in a rural St. George location, there is room to add a shop or garage. This property suits a buyer prepared to invest time and money into a long-term restoration.
- Rare hand-laid Scottish fieldstone construction with original limestone sills and lintels
- Newer hip roof visible on the stone section

Circa 1850 stone cottage on 1ac of severed, rolling farmland in scenic St. George. Stunning location in one of the most sought after regions of south western Ontario. Bordered by prime agricultural land but walking distance to the village of St. George makes for an outstanding opportunity to restore this quaint cottage and add a shop for all the toys. Scottish field stone masonry with hand chiseled limestone sills and lintels harken a bygone era of craftsmanship. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to put your signature on a piece of history only minutes from all the amenities of Cambridge, Paris, Ancaster/Dundas and Brantford.
