House of the Week: $2.3 million for a 2.2-acre Prince Edward County escape with a 115-foot-long waterfront

Location: Milford, Prince Edward County Agent: Stephanie Roles, Forest Hill Real Estate PEC Price: $2,300,000 Size: 3,555 square feet Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 3


The place

A newly built three-bed, three-bath home in the heart of PEC. The 2.2-acre property comes with a covered carport and a workshop. It is a passive solar home, meaning its windows, walls and floors efficiently collect and distribute solar energy in the winter. It also deflects excess solar heat, which keeps things cool in the summer.

The history

The owners (one of whom is an architect) bought this plot of land in 2013. It sat empty until the outset of the pandemic, when construction began. The owners had previously lived in a passive solar concrete home in Toronto and wanted to transplant the tech to the countryside. Now, with their son moved out, they’re selling and planning to build a smaller home somewhere else.

The tour

Situated in the village of Milford, the property overlooks the serene Mill Pond.

The main hallway leads to the grand room, which has 13-foot ceilings, sliding glass doors and clerestory windows to maximize natural light. To counterbalance all the concrete, the owners added warm white birch accents.
