1943 Fairgrounds Road S, Clearview, ON
More than sixty years ago, a father and son drove up Fairgrounds Road and stopped at the top of the hill. The view opened wide in front of them, rolling land, open sky, a sense of quiet that felt rare even then. They saw the sign, and the decision was made.
That sense of place has never left.
Now, for the first time in decades, the farmhouse is being offered on approximately 2.5 acres, set well back from the road and surrounded by a landscape of fields, estates, and uninterrupted countryside. It is a setting that feels both expansive and deeply private, yet remains moments from Creemore, Collingwood, Mad River Golf Club, Devil’s Glen, and the quieter stretches of Wasaga Beach.
The red brick farmhouse, built over a century ago, has evolved over time while holding onto its character. Pine floors carry the warmth of its history, exposed brick adds texture, and the interior has been opened to create a more natural flow for daily living. At the edge of the home, a wraparound covered verandah becomes a place to gather, to slow down, and to take in the landscape as it changes through the seasons.
The land itself is open and usable, with a small apple orchard and a fenced garden already in place. It is the kind of property that invites both simplicity and possibility, equally suited to quiet enjoyment as it is to thoughtful expansion over time.
There is a reason this property was chosen all those years ago. Standing here now, it becomes clear that some places simply stay with you.
A view that has held its place for generations
Set on 2.5 acres high above the surrounding countryside, this historic red brick farmhouse offers a rare sense of openness, privacy, and connection to the land. Thoughtfully updated yet full of character, it is a place defined as much by its setting as by the home itself.
