Located at 1174 10 Nottawasaga Concession South in Clearview, just down the street from the Duntroon Resort and Golf Club, this listing presents the rare opportunity to own a piece of Collingwood and architectural history.
The landmark property has a unique provenance, as it's one of the first schoolhouses still standing in the area. Built in the 1890s, the original limestone schoolhouse was renovated and expanded in the 1960s by Napier Simpson, a prominent Toronto architect known for his restoration and heritage conservation work, with a log house addition completed In 1974.
While the schoolhouse has been restored, it now features all the makings of an ultimate, cozy country abode, without losing many of the original architectural features.
On the property you'll now find a log house that's centred around an open-plan kitchen and dining room and seamlessly connects to the original schoolhouse that boasts exposed eaves, a steeped roof with a bell tower, and a series of windows that fill the home with natural light.
