A rare opportunity steeped in history and set along the shores of Irish Lake. Offered for sale for the first time in more than 45 years, this remarkable Grey Highlands property brings together the timeless character of a circa-1910 brick schoolhouse with a separate adjoining waterfront parcel, together encompassing approximately 2.478 acres, creating a truly distinctive lake-country offering. Thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting home, the former schoolhouse still proudly reflects its past. Original schoolhouse flooring, a striking cathedral-style window and repurposed original ceiling material incorporated into the kitchen are just a few of the unique details that give this home its unmistakable character. Inside, the bright and open-concept layout offers three bedrooms plus additional flexible living space, a 4-piece bathroom upstairs and a convenient 2-piece bath on the main level. The soaring lines and historic architectural elements create a wonderful sense of space, while modern updates allow the home to be comfortably enjoyed year-round. Outside, mature trees frame a large and private yard with plenty of room to relax, gather and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A rear deck and detached garage add to the property's appeal, while a trail leads toward the adjoining waterfront parcel and the shoreline of beautiful Irish Lake.

Whether imagined as a memorable family retreat, a 4-season escape or an extraordinary place to call home, this property offers something truly special: a piece of Irish Lake history, more than a century of character and over 45 years of cherished ownership, ready for its next chapter.
