Solidly built with enduring stone walls, 'The Mill'. stands as a testament to craftsmanship by acclaimed architect Mandel Sprachman. Tucked just beyond the charm of Main Street and yet enveloped in its own timeless tranquility, this extraordinary residence feels lifted from the pages of a French storybook - a serene oasis that seems to exist outside of time. Set on over 1.8 acres and bordered by a private waterfall and the meandering Eramosa River, the property invites exploration and reminds you of the quiet wonder of nature. This is not just a house, but a way of life. The interior balances warmth and function, with 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The top-floor primary suite offers a secluded retreat with treetop views and luxurious proportions. At the heart of the home, an expansive great room with exposed wood beams and a bespoke fireplace that feels both grand and intimate. The adjacent kitchen - with walk-in pantry and garden views - opens to a sun-washed stone patio, where morning coffee or evening wine feels like a ritual. A glass-wrapped dining room draws the outdoors in, offering the kind of light-drenched calm found in the villas of Luberon. Downstairs, the lower level walk-out echoes the homes stonework roots, while outside, an inviting inground pool and a picturesque barn add a sense of rustic elegance and possibility. From the sunroom or the poolside terrace, the waterfall glimmers through the trees - a gentle, ever-present soundtrack. It's easy to forget the world here, though Rockwoods cafes and boutiques are just steps away, and downtown Guelph is a mere 15-minute drive. The home is fully serviced for water and utilities. 243 Main Street is not just a home - it is a lifestyle. A rare and enchanting retreat for those drawn to stillness, beauty, and a life well-lived.
