Built in 1862, this rare and remarkable converted schoolhouse offers more than 4,500 sq. ft. of beautifully restored living space, all set on a spectacular 1.3-acre property in the quiet hamlet of Kinkora. Just 15 minutes from Stratford and within 45 minutes of both Kitchener and London, this property seamlessly blends historic character with today’s modern conveniences—ideal for those who want the best of both worlds.

A Home with a Story

Stepping inside, you’re immediately greeted by timeless details that pay homage to the property’s history—original hardwood floors, intricate door trim, and soaring ceilings—paired perfectly with thoughtful updates throughout. This is a home that tells a story, while still providing the comfort and functionality of modern living.

Heart of the Home

At the center is a stunning chef-inspired kitchen (2021), designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Featuring abundant cabinetry, a spacious island, and seamless flow into the open-concept living and dining areas, the space is as practical as it is beautiful. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, while two propane fireplaces (2021) and geothermal heating/cooling ensure cozy comfort year-round.

Spacious Living

The main level includes a formal sitting room, a dedicated home office, laundry, and a serene primary retreat complete with a 4-piece ensuite. Three additional bedrooms, a 5-piece main bath, and a 2-piece powder room provide ample space for family and guests.

Adding even more versatility, a connected 2-bedroom nanny suite/apartment—accessible by its own laneway and entrance—offers endless possibilities for extended family, a private guest retreat, or a rental income opportunity.

Outdoor Country Oasis

Beyond the walls of the home lies an idyllic country lifestyle. Mature gardens, a large fish pond with waterfall, and even a chicken coop invite you to embrace the slower pace of rural living. Collect fresh eggs in the morning, swim in the heated above-ground pool, or entertain on the expansive deck overlooking the peaceful grounds. A spacious garden shed keeps tools and equipment neatly tucked away.

Lower Level Convenience

The lower level provides a welcoming foyer, generous storage space, a workshop, and a convenient walk-out, adding functionality and flexibility to the home’s layout.

The Perfect Blend

From the moment you arrive, this extraordinary property captures a sense of history, community, and tranquility. It’s a home where old-world charm meets contemporary comfort, offering a truly unique lifestyle for buyers seeking something more than ordinary.

Whether you dream of multi-generational living, hosting guests in style, or simply enjoying the beauty of the countryside while staying close to city amenities—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history.
