1 Station Road
Prince Edward County
Without question, this is one of Prince Edward County's premier estate properties, much admired by many, and beautifully developed by its current owners. It offers true historic charm plus dramatic modern elements, on a sloping property set among farmer's fields and vineyards, intersected by charming Slab Creek and nestled in the hamlet of Hillier.
A long driveway enters the property at One Station Road and continues to the rear of the 2-acre lot. To the left as you enter, an 1865 farmhouse, renovated in 2004-5, serves as a guest house or can be a long-term rental. The house is full of charm and character and also features updated elements such as a heat pump, on-demand hot water and lovely decor.
The driveway continues past a large detached three car garage with great storage space. To the left are the vestiges of two historic buildings: the smithy and the mill. These structures offer a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in local history and looking for a great retirement project.
Continuing up the driveway and over the bridge that crosses Slab Creek one sees the star of the property: "CREEK HOUSE", a striking architectural achievement which ties an original 1910 cabin to a dramatic vaulted space thereby creating a 2100 square foot house featuring a cantilevered glass landing inside and a stone terrace outside with views out to the creek. Both are perfect spots to enjoy morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine while listening to the water flowing or watching the wildlife that makes their home along the creek bank.
Two rooms in the original cabin open to the new space: a strikingly beautiful vaulted house with double height ceilings, generous fenestration and wonderful natural light. The post-and-beam construction uses locally fabricated I-Beam steel posts and 100 year old wood beams reclaimed from a nearby barn. The floors are mostly concrete except for hardwood in the kitchen. The chef's kitchen features Thermador appliances, concrete countertops and sink. The island and cabinetry are crafted of locally milled Black Cherry.
The great room is enhanced by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, huge sliding doors leading to a generous terrace, and clerestory windows above those doors. There is a full bathroom on the main level which incorporates laundry equipment and another on the mezzanine level which is accessed by a wide and very bright stairwell, also created from reclaimed beams.
The upper floor is an entirely private primary suite with a dressing area, an office space and a four-piece bath.
Creek House sits on almost two acres of a naturalized landscape with lovely views over the adjoining farms and barns. Its location in the western section of Prince Edward County makes it highly accessible from the 401, close to the services of Wellington, and in the heart of wine country.
We see this as an outstanding opportunity for new owners to put down roots in the County, to honour the history of this rare and remarkable property, and to create a wonderful homestead for generations to come.
