8989 Highway 221 Nestled within the historic hamlet of Sheffield Mills lies a captivating 6.71-acre farm boasting a wealth of heritage and potential. The centrepiece is a charming three-bedroom, post-and-beam 1761 New England Planter Saltbox house, affectionately known as The Borden House. Originally constructed for Samuel Borden, a notable Crown surveyor from Rhode Island and the great-great-grandfather of Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden, the house exudes character and historical significance. Alongside the main residence stand two barns, surrounded by open fields and mature hardwoods, bordering the renowned North Brook. While the house beckons for extensive renovation, the seller offers connections to local engineering and construction/renovation specialists, facilitating the restoration process. Beyond the house, the property features two expansive outbuildings?a two-level wooden 'frost-free' barn and a stationed steel-roofed pole barn, previously utilized for housing large animals. Positioned on a raised knoll, the house overlooks a spacious flat field, ideal for potential greenhouses or gardens, benefiting from the region's fertile sandy loam soil. With its proximity to the vibrant town of Canning and amenities such as the Mill Stone Brewery, this property embodies a harmonious blend of rural serenity and modern convenience, awaiting its next chapter in history.
