Description
Welcome to Stonecroft Farm – a rare and storied estate where history, architecture, and natural beauty converge in timeless harmony. Built in 1861 by the master stonemasons who crafted the Rideau Canal, this exquisite Ashlar Stone farmhouse is a living work of art. The home's restoration was the final project of renowned Canadian heritage architect Peter John Stokes, who thoughtfully reimagined the chimneys, Scotts Bay dormers, front porch, and crown mouldings to honour its origins with enduring elegance. Set on just over 50 acres of rolling countryside with 39 acres currently under cultivation, Stonecroft offers both income potential and rural serenity. Just minutes to the charming communities of Sunderland and Uxbridge, you are close to amenities while tucked into a world of your own. With 4 plus 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the residence exudes character and peace. The dormered upper bedroom, once two rooms, is flooded with natural light and treetop views. Each window frames breathtaking scenes, fruit trees, lush hedges, and uninterrupted vistas. The handcrafted black walnut staircase railing, sourced from a tree once rooted on the land, is just one of many bespoke details that speak to the soul of the home. Surrounded by twelve-foot privacy hedges and expansive gardens, this is a retreat for those who crave stillness, tradition, and natural wonder. Having morning coffee on the side porch, as the seasons shift and wildlife stirs, is nothing short of a gift. Stonecroft has borne witness to a legacy of memories: children born within its walls, brides descending the grand staircase, winter sleigh rides, and carefree summers chasing kites through fields. With original millwork, a classic cedar shake roof, copper eaves and downspouts, wide-plank wooden floors, and cleverly ingeniously storage spaces, this heritage home offers not just space but a sense of provenance. Stonecroft does not just hold memories, it welcomes you into its lineage. A home where you do not just live, you belong.
