A Design-Led Country Home Near Sandbanks and East Lake

Set in Cherry Valley within Prince Edward County, this century home has been carefully reimagined to balance original character with a distinctly modern, design-focused approach. Known as Hart House , the property reflects a considered aesthetic that blends antique elements with contemporary furnishings and materials.

The home retains the structure and proportions of its 100-year-old origins while introducing updated interiors that emphasize light, texture, and contrast. The main living and dining area is open in layout, framed by exposed beams and anchored by a wood-burning stove. Furnishings and finishes are intentionally curated, combining vintage pieces with modern design brands to create a space that feels layered rather than uniform.

The kitchen is fully equipped and designed for regular use, supporting both simple meals and longer stays. Adjacent dining areas provide seating for small groups, while the overall layout encourages a natural flow between living, dining, and relaxation spaces.

Sleeping accommodations include three private bedrooms configured with one king bed, one queen bed, and a third bedroom with two double beds. A total of one full bathroom and one half bathroom are finished with Italian marble and include a soaking tub, adding a refined element to the otherwise relaxed setting.

Outdoor space plays a central role in the experience. A private backyard includes a patio with dining and lounge seating, a fire pit, and open lawn space. Sunset views across the surrounding landscape contribute to the sense of quiet and separation, while still remaining close to key destinations.

The location offers immediate access to East Lake and is within a short drive of Sandbanks Provincial Park, as well as the towns of Picton, Bloomfield, and Wellington. This positioning allows guests to experience the region’s beaches, wineries, and dining without sacrificing a more residential, low-density setting.

Additional features such as a dedicated workspace, strong Wi-Fi, a sauna, and a high-end coffee setup further support both short stays and longer visits.

This home is best suited to travelers who value design, atmosphere, and proximity to Prince Edward County’s core attractions, without requiring a large-scale or resort-style property.
