Inside the home
This is a restoration project, not a weekend refresh. The circa-1850 stone cottage is the oldest structure you will see listed in this area — hand-laid Scottish fieldstone, chiseled limestone sills, and a hip roof that has outlasted generations. The bones are genuinely historic. The rear addition is a different story. Board-and-batten siding shows years of deferred maintenance, and no interior photos are available to assess what is inside. Buyers should plan for a full-scope renovation budget before making an offer. The 1-acre severed lot sits within a large block of farmland just outside St. George village. The land value and location are the clearest part of the equation here. Anyone buying this is buying a long-term project with a rare material — fieldstone you cannot replicate today.
- Rare hand-laid Scottish fieldstone construction with original limestone sills and lintels
- 1-acre severed lot with no immediate neighbours on three sides
- Walking distance to St. George village
- Short drive to Cambridge, Paris, and Brantford
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.
