About this property

Country home 5 bdrs, 6 baths, yoga/art studio, large garden near wineries +beach

The Gryphon, a Regency Cottage, is a completely restored historic home nestled into a large garden and natural wildlife preserve. The Gryphon is the only accommodation in Prince Edward County with five bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. There are two full kitchens, three porches, a fire pit and a large garden with a stone seating area and a yoga or art studio. Outdoor dining is on a large wooden porch that surrounds two sides of the house. Due to the frequent misuse of the BBQ, and the subsequent repairs due to fire etc., there is no longer a BBQ on site.

There are places for gathering with friends and family, and places to escape and read a book. A video room with super high speed internet and a 12 foot screen keeps kids entertained. You will need to hook up your device to the video unit.

Weekly and monthly discounts available.
Each window looks out over a field of wildflowers, a formal garden, a rural farmland, or Lake Consecon. Twelve foot ceilings and antique furniture add to the feeling of old time charm. The porch off the kitchen has a bbq and three tables for eating, cooking and relaxing. The Millennium Trail just up the road is perfect for walking and cycling. North Beach and Sandbanks provincial park are just down the road.
Prince Edward County is a mecca for artists, nature lovers and anyone looking for a getaway … for a weekend break or for life.
Renowned for its sailing, fishing and giant sand dunes, The County also offers live theatre, artists studios and galleries, unique regional cuisine and a flourishing wine region.
The perfect place for a getaway, only a few hours from Toronto or Ottawa.

Discount for September long weekend . Rent for two nights and get the third for free. Just book your two nights and tell me if you would like the one before or after, and it will be blocked off for you!
Ontario is losing so many of our historic homes and properties. we will miss them when they are gone.This house was part of the Underground Railway as well as being used a a feed store, a hospital and a private home. I rebuilt it in 2011.
In 2023 I started rebuilding an 1830s small barn. This will be finished by Spring 2024 and can be used as a yoga studio, art class studio, crafts room or practice room.

Why they chose this property

In June there are dozens of turtles that lay their eggs on the lawn and around the trees and hedges. The pond is full of frogs, toads and dragonflies. There are red winged blackbirds, herons, hummingbirds, and orioles in the nearby trees. The Millennium Trail is just down the road. YOu can walk or ride your bike along the trail all the way to Picton. In five minutes you can get to the beach, but you are well enough away to escape the crowds.
The house has the large, generous proportions of a by-gone age. The windows are all original as are the doors, trim and baseboards. The house is stunning, and so is the location.

What makes this property unique

The house has the proportions of a different age. It is gracious and open. You can cycle to The Grange, Closson Chase, Normand Hardy, Stanner, and many other local wineries. By car these wineries are ten minutes away. The property runs along the edge of the Millennium Trail, which is a 60 kilometer rail trail perfect for cycling and nature walks. Lake Consecon is about 8 kilometers long. The road around the lake is almost 20 kilometres, perfect for a short cycle.
