566 Fisher Mills Rd, Cambridge, ON N3C 2V3

Endless possibilities! For much of the 20th century the story of the Hespeler-area hamlet of Fisher Mills ran parallel to the story of its mill & the mill's longtime owner, A.J. Shantz. This property has undergone many transitions over the years, from a saw mill constructed in 1835 by Christian Strome, to the construction of a new wood frame structure in the 1900's by A.J. Shantz, to the private residence it is today. Over the years it housed a saw mill, grist mill, cider mill & most recently a hardware store & feed mill for local farmers. The original structure has been painstakingly restored & enhanced by the current owners & must be seen to be truly appreciated. The massive Seagram Room, aptly named for Joseph E. Seagram who was born next to the Fisher Mill in 1841, boasts original wood beams & pine floor plus custom wet bar with fireplace, is an ideal space for entertaining. The upper loft once housed the original offices of the flour mill & Joseph Seagram's bookkeeping offices & the main floor office was originally the saw mill room back in 1835. Most of the floors are original pine that were either repurposed or refinished. Additional details include original stone work, western red cedar ceilings, 30' vaulted ceiling in great room, Loewen windows (1997/1998), steel roof with 50 year warranty (1997/1998), 200 amp service, copper wiring, heated workshop, multiple porches, updated exteriors & more! In keeping with the homes' charm & style the recent addition (2020) features a 13' beamed vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace & walk-out to 30' x 24' composite tiered deck. Ellis Creek, a tributary of the Grand River, runs through this incredible 1.69 acre property that features a 30' x 50' humpback kidney-shaped pool installed in 2000 with new liner & safety cover (2020), pool shed, stamped concrete pool surround, beautiful landscaping & mature trees. Steeped in history & embracing the charm of yesteryear with the modern conveniences of today this property is a must see!
