Own a bit of the past on the Bruce Peninsula with this rare offering of an original stone schoolhouse plus a log cabin situated on a beautiful 6-acre lot. Walk on to the property and you can just imagine the sounds of children's laughter as they would have played in the yard of the schoolhouse which dates back to 1934. Lovingly maintained, this 1-bedroom, 956 square foot retreat features a 2-piece bath, a certified kitchen, and an open living/dining area with both a stone fireplace and wood stove. The interior is rich with vintage charm featuring original hardwood floors, wainscoting, windows and other little touches that speak to its heritage. The second dwelling is a stunning log cabin, that was originally located across the road and was moved and rebuilt in its present location in 1977. With a thoughtful addition that includes a full bathroom and eat-in kitchen the log interior features stone floors, a wood stove, and another beautiful stone fireplace. A lofted sleeping area completes the warm and rustic feel of this home that has served as a full-time residence for the last number of years. The lot itself showcases the character of rural Bruce Peninsula with its moss-covered rocks, rolling landscape and canopy of trees with sun dappling through the wooded area. There is also a large, flat open space with some apple trees, and opportunity for tending gardens. The property also includes a workshop attached to the schoolhouse, a 2-car garage, a greenhouse, chicken coop, and pen for keeping a few small farm animals. Centrally located on the Peninsula and close to the Bruce Trail for hiking, this offering is truly a rare gem and just looking for someone to continue to steward and appreciate its past story on the Bruce Peninsula. Beauty, history, character, charm and location - this property has it all.
