This magnificent property boasts a sprawling 2.7 acres of land, providing an unparalleled opportunity to indulge in a tranquil and spacious lifestyle. Meticulously improved and lovingly maintained by the current owners.
The property has an extremely fascinating history being built in 1907 by Mary Simcoe (a descendant of John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada (now Ontario), who lived in Wolford Lodge situated just below this property). The Wigwam was formerly a workers cottage for the Simcoe Estate. Indeed his private chapel is still at the end of the lane and once inside it you are on Canadian soil!
