Ontario Home of the Week is Port Perry spread with shed

“We’ve been here for two years now and yet every day I still drive slowly down the tree-lined driveway taking in the pond with its fountain,” says homeowner Jesse Epstein.

On 82 acres of land in the south of Port Perry, the property comes with a two-storey four-bedroom main house, a guest house with a kitchen, a restored nine-stall barn, a second barn, six pastures, a workshop, walking and and riding trails, a sunroom, a pond overlooking a gazebo, and five garages. In the main house there are hardwood floors throughout, ensuites in every bedroom, a sitting room, skylights and a heated kitchen floor.

“Our house is flooded with natural light and has scenic views over the pond, courtyard and gardens. It is light and airy with a subtle farmhouse feel created by the exposed beams in the living room and the brick fireplace in the kitchen,” says Epstein. “The general flow of the house has made for easy group entertainment while also providing just enough places to spread out and find our own space.”

The house is a five minute drive from Port Perry where there are shops, restaurants, schools, a hospital and a marina.

Say broker Keith Williams: “This is a house from circa 1900, with a … barn, dating from 1880. The house has been modernized to all modern standards and the barn has been renovated by Dutchmasters. There are a myriad of potential income streams, from crops to horse boarding, to (serving as) a wedding venue, to (providing) storage. It is located across the street from the famous 100 acres tiara horses, a riding, show and breeding horse business, and is 15 minutes by car from major shopping and Hwy. 407.”
