Five minutes west of Almonte, you'll find this storybook stone cottage sitting on 2 quiet acres of treed land. The 150 x 580 foot lot is packed with mature trees and perennial gardens that give the place serious English countryside vibes. The house itself mixes stone and board-and-batten siding under a cedar shake roof, so it feels like it belongs in a children's book. Step through the Dutch door and you're in a living room with soaring 17-foot ceilings, and there's also a family room, den, and sunroom for kicking back. The kitchen has English tile countertops and African slate floors, with ash and maple hardwood throughout. Two bedrooms, one on the main floor and one upstairs, plus a laundry room on the second level. Central air and forced air keep things comfortable, and there's a wood stove for extra cozy heat. Outside, the workshop is 16x20 with electricity and its own woodstove, plus a 10x20 Amish shed for all your gear. Parking's never an issue with room for up to 12 vehicles. You're minutes from the amenities in Almonte, including Equator Coffee, the Old Mill at Ashton, and the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. Asking $879,000, which aligns with the one other listing nearby. Property taxes run about $4,500 a year. If you want a place with character and space to spread out, this is it.
