11179 Longwoods ROAD, Thamesville, Ontario

About This Property

This is the kind of property that does not come along very often. Built in 1847 and held by the same family ever since, this solid double brick farmhouse on Longwoods Road carries nearly 180 years of history in its walls, and it shows in the best possible way. Set on almost 16 acres between Kent Bridge and Louisville, the land includes a five-acre bush, a six-acre farmers field, a barn, a substantial 60 by 40 foot workshop, and three 10,000-bushel grain bins, everything a hobby farming family could ask for. The house itself is four bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with original character and finishes that have been carefully preserved throughout, including some of the original furniture. A brand new kitchen added in 2023 brings the heart of the home right up to date without disturbing what makes it special. When the workday is done, a hot tub, a beautiful in-ground pool, a brick pool house, and a huge covered cement patio make this property just as enjoyable to come home to as it is to work. The double brick masonry construction, updated with modern insulation, means this home has been built to last and has already proven it. If a hobby farm and a historical home is what you've been looking for, you're definitely going to want to see this one.
