About the property

Built more than 130 years ago, this three-bedroom homestead sits on 81 acres of land. But don’t its age fool you. Plenty of updates have been made since 2021, such as a new forced air propane furnace and a UV filtration system, optimizing the home for comfortable, modern living. The living, kitchen, and dining spaces are bright and homey, furnished with vintage furniture and antique light fixtures. Contemporary touches throughout merge seamlessly with the home’s inherent historic charm. The property’s main house also boasts both an eat-in kitchen as well as a prep kitchen, plus an enclosed porch. In addition to the property’s main house is a full guest house equipped with a kitchen and sleeping quarters, and a rustic three-season bunkie with hydro. The property’s extensive outdoor space features a small frog pond, trails, gardens, and even a small orchard with apple trees and berry bushes. Nestled in the community of Arnstein, about a 90-minute drive north of Parry Sound, privacy abounds; this home is perfect for those looking for a peaceful country lifestyle.
