The place

A three-plus-one-bed, three-bath farmhouse in Erin. The home sits on 1.5 acres of land and comes with an insulated two-car garage that includes a rough-in for an EV charger. Future residents are a short drive from the Caledon Ski Club and Erin’s charming main street.

The history

The owner, a project manager for custom home developer Caledon Build, originally purchased about 40 acres of land in 2013. He severed 1.5 acres of it in 2019 to build this house. He’s now moving on to the next project and putting this one on the market for the first time.

The tour

The cottage’s understated façade is a preview of the interior’s striking design.
