Welcome to one of the most historic grand homes in Eastern Ontario. Just minutes east of Lancaster sits Ridgewood Manor a sprawling 1850 estate sitting on 24 acres of manicured grounds and forested privacy. The home is truly a step back in time. The brick and stone building features inlayed hardwoods, oak trimmed walls, and towering ceilings – they just don’t build them like this anymore – can’t be over stated. All in wonderful condition with the mechanical systems running perfectly. This property is meant to be presented and enjoyed and has been exactly that … from its first owner a leader in Canada’s judicial system to its current owners; also, community leaders. The spacious eat in kitchen could seat a dozen guests, the dining room … double that, and the 30-foot great room another doubling of guests. Upstairs has enough bed rooms, bathrooms and staff quarters to house extended families or numerous visitors. The grounds include a treed lined drive, heated pool and outbuildings, a 4-vehicle garage and barn on 8 acres with the balance in forest with foot paths. The maple stand is large enough to have a small syrup business in the spring. A true resort feeling abounds. It’s a dream lifestyle about size and quantity located less than an hour’s drive to the exciting City of Montreal.
