Description
The house was built in 1885 by a master plasterer for himself. This man went on to plaster the parliament buildings in Victoria, BC. The house was purchased in the 70’s by two artists who slowly restored the home installing Mexican terracotta tiles and a painting studio on the lower level with wrap around French windows and opening onto a large veranda. The village has a history of artists and writers calling it home and it is uniquely peaceful. It is a perfect writing or artist retreat.

Comments: The former home of two well known Canadian artists, our home is brimming with art and character. The house is surrounded by established perennial gardens and backs onto woods filled with streams brimming with wild watercress. A short walk to Rice Lake the village of Gore’s Landing is filled with historic charm and gorgeous vistas. The house has 1000 feet of outdoor deck space and a view of the lake in winter, spring and fall. It is an hour and a half drive to Toronto with a train into the city just 20 minutes from the house and a 30 minute drive to Peterborough. A perfect tranquil writing retreat.
