Four bedrooms and two full baths provide space for family and friends. The eat in farmhouse kitchen makes you want to start buying mason jars and making pickles. The upstairs landing is the perfect spot for a home office – but how will you get any work done with those scenic views? Refurbish the barn and outbuildings and you are ready to raise cattle, horses, or fainting goats (just a suggestion). We are told that this farm was once home to the island’s best vegetable gardens. Are you ready to follow your country dreams?

Amherst Island is perfectly situated within easy reach of Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. It can only be accessed by ferry which has contributed to the island's cultural and natural heritage landscape preservation, allowing it to remain a hidden gem.
