A rare opportunity on coveted Sifton Road-an exclusive private lane within a 300-acre waterfront enclave-this remarkable 4,000 sq ft residence is a masterful conversion of a 1920 horse stable, set on 2 acres with breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River and its picturesque islands, including Princess, Raleigh, Savage, Green, and Crossover. In a fitting nod to the Year of the Horse, this storied property carries a unique symbolism that resonates with those drawn to heritage, strength, and timeless character. Rich in history and thoughtfully reimagined, the 106-year-old structure showcases original 22-foot single-log roof trusses, transom windows, and curated period details such as 1920s-40s wall sconces and 1930s ceiling fixtures, seamlessly updated for modern living. Owner is an interior designer, collaborated with Architectural Designer Mike Preston and built by Brian Wooding, the home blends heritage charm with modern comfort. Radiant floor heating spans both levels, central air in the main residence and split systems in the self-contained apartment above the garage-ideal as a nanny suite, in-law suite, or caregiver quarters. The heated garage doubles as a workshop or recreation space. Enjoy a protected bay-shielded by Princess Island-perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, and paddle-boating, with excellent fishing fed by Jones Creek. A large patio with stone fire-pit overlooks the dock, complete with a ramp for easy watercraft access. In-ground pool with 15x35 tanning ledge. A custom light fixture crafted from the original 1920 hay trolley anchors the home's character. A separate log cabin at 4 Sifton Road, built in 1972 and renovated in 2013, offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a wood-burning fireplace, updated windows and roof, and a new propane furnace (2024). With its own well and septic, it's ideal for guests or extended family. With conservation-controlled zoning limiting future development, this is a truly private and irreplaceable waterfront retreat.
