Inside the home
This is a restoration project, not a weekend refresh. The circa 1850 fieldstone cottage has the kind of construction you rarely see — hand-cut limestone sills, solid stone walls, and a roof that has already been replaced. But the rear addition is weathered and deteriorating, and no interior photos are provided, which buyers should treat as a flag worth investigating before making any assumptions about livability. The property sits on a severed 1-acre lot surrounded by working farmland in St. George, with gravel lane access off the road. There are no outbuildings, no garage, and no landscaping — just the house and open field. This is a buy for someone with a clear restoration plan and realistic budget for what a 175-year-old structure demands. The land and the bones have real value. Everything else is work.
- Rare circa 1850 Scottish fieldstone construction with hand-chiseled limestone details
- New or newer asphalt shingle roof
- Approximately 1-acre severed lot in agricultural St. George corridor
- Walking distance to St. George village
- Strong bones — stone exterior appears structurally sound
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.
