***Come visit the barn Saturday Oct 24 from 10am-4pm for an amazing vintage market event. Listing agents will on site to answer questions! Be a part of Ontario history. Built in 1897, this extraordinary octagonal structure offers a rare opportunity to own one of the province's most distinctive architectural landmarks. Originally constructed near West Lorne, Ontario, the building was carefully dismantled, relocated, and meticulously reconstructed in 2013, preserving a remarkable piece of Ontario's agricultural and architectural heritage. Situated on over half an acre, this one-of-a-kind property combines historical significance with exceptional versatility. Zoned Village Commercial (VC), it offers a wide range of permitted commercial uses including retail, gallery, studio, office, event space, café, and other entrepreneurial ventures. Buyers are encouraged to verify intended uses with the municipality and may wish to explore the possibility of applying for residential zoning. The restoration celebrates traditional craftsmanship while incorporating modern comfort and efficiency. Reclaimed beams and barn boards sourced from century-old local structures have been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the building. Custom wood windows handcrafted by local artisans, distinctive ash flooring, and exposed timber elements create a warm and authentic atmosphere. Modern features include two, two piece bathrooms, a kitchen with a three-bay sink, a separate stand-alone hand washing sink, one oven, one fridge (no freezer), generous counter space, geothermal heating, radiant in-floor heating on the ground level, a wall-mounted air conditioning unit, a drilled well with UV filtration system, 2,500-gallon septic system, 200-amp electrical service, and full insulation for year-round comfort. Recognized for its historical and architectural significance, the property is heritage-designated and currently qualifies for a municipal tax rebate equal to 25% of annual property taxes.
