Along a quiet bend of the Tay River, only ten minutes from Perth, this 73-acre estate offers a rare combination of history, privacy, and natural beauty. The 1870 century stone home stands with quiet dignity at the end of a long private driveway. Its original pine floors and beautiful historic millwork tell the story of generations past, while the propane furnace, new wiring and plumbing, updated windows, and additional insulation keep you more than comfortable in the present. Generously sized rooms, a large wood-burning fireplace, and a clean, dry basement offer both comfort and practicality. With 5 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, there's space for the whole family, even if you converted one bedroom into a luxurious spa bathroom. The kitchen and dining addition awaits your vision, and the unfinished master bedroom offers space to create a private retreat. The land is a peaceful blend of forest and field, with apple trees and wild berry bushes dotted throughout. Over 1,200 feet of natural, swimmable shoreline invites canoeing or kayaking, with a 2.5 km paddle leading you into Christie Lake. A boathouse rests on a grandfathered footprint by the water, ready for restoration. In the field, a barn from 1825, with its massive beams and storied charm, stands waiting to be reborn as a gathering place, while an 1820 log home, rustic and rough-hewn with a screened-in porch and endearingly wonky floors, makes a perfect guest house or summer cabin.With no neighbours in sight, the property feels like a private world, vibrant in summer and hushed under winter snow, a place where time slows and history breathes in every stone, beam, and ripple of the river.

Along a quiet country road that winds through forest and meadow, this modern log home sits on 2.6 acres of serene land near Bennett Lake. Enclosed by a cedar rail fence, it feels both timeless and private, with no neighbours in sight except for quietly grazing cows. The back deck offers sweeping views across a meadow and into the forest beyond, a place to watch the morning mist drift and the seasons paint the treeline in their different colours. The front verandah is a gathering place for evenings with friends, or a quiet dip in the hot tub watching the sunset and evening stars. Inside, the home carries the warmth of exposed logs yet is open to light in a way that older log homes rarely are. The living room, with its hardwood floors, cathedral ceiling, and tall windows, is filled with afternoon and evening sun, creating a space that glows as the day fades. The modern kitchen, complete with updated appliances, invites conversation around the large island/breakfast bar. The main floor primary bedroom welcomes soft morning light and features a recently added walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The lower level walkout is equally inviting, with ceramic floors, radiant floor heating, pot lights, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a family/recreation room. With its own walk-out entrance, it holds potential for an in-law suite or a private guest retreat. Recent updates include designer fixtures, a main floor wood stove, brand new commercial washer and dryer, and a large Amish shed. Just down the road, Bennett Lake offers swimming, fishing, and paddling, while the historic town of Perth is only fifteen minutes away. Here, modern comforts blend with natural rhythms, offering a place to slow down and enjoy life in the country.
