R35//Altona/Step into a rare piece of living history lovingly restored over the past decade into a one-of-a-kind sanctuary that seamlessly blends 1880s Mennonite character with thoughtful modern comforts. Insulated, sided, and re-roofed house/barn has been carefully returned to its original architectural spirit while being thoughtfully updated. Exposed beams, soft lighting and heated floors create an atmosphere of quiet warmth. Upstairs, the loft has updated hardwood flooring providing an inviting space for creativity, or gathering. Main floor with kitchen/Dining/Living, 2 bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub. Winding garden pathways, mature fruit trees, a charming gazebo and twinkle lights transform the outdoor spaces into a magical setting. This is far more than a residence. The flexible layout and inspiring setting make it ideal for hosting special events, an art studio, a cozy coffee house, a wellness or yoga retreat, or creative workshop space. Whatever vision you bring, the property supports it with character, comfort, and soul. A place where the past is preserved, the present is lived beautifully, and the future is full of possibility.
