About this home

Inside the home

This is a 45-acre working equestrian property on the edge of Paris, built around an 1870 yellow brick farmhouse. The house itself has been updated in stages — exposed beam ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, a renovated kitchen with a centre island, and a four-season sunroom with an indoor hot tub. The finished basement adds a usable rec room with a stone fireplace. The real draw is what sits behind the house: a professionally finished three-stall horse barn with tack room, two sand riding arenas, a large bank barn, fenced paddocks, a pond, and over 40 acres of workable land. The in-ground pool and interlocking brick patio are in good shape and separate from the equestrian side of the property. Buyers should factor in the bank barn's age and condition, and note that the house finishes vary across its different addition eras. This is a property built around a specific lifestyle — it suits equestrians or hobby farmers more than buyers simply looking for acreage.
