2565 Christie Lake Road Tay Valley, Ontario K7H 3C6

$1,299,000

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.
