1000 Islands Schoolhouse Estate

Originally built in 1964 as Escott Public School, this distinctive property has been transformed into an extraordinary private estate in the heart of Eastern Ontario's 1000 Islands Region. Offering exceptional interior scale, distinctive character and remarkable flexibility, it is a property unlike anything else in the region.

Set on five acres, approximately 10,000 square feet of the approximately 13,000-square-foot former school is finished, with about 3,000 square feet offering even more possibilities. Approximately 7,000 sq. ft. is currently configured as residential living space. 

The property's mixed-use configuration provides considerable flexibility. Approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of the 7,000 sq. ft. residential area is easily adaptable for commercial use while retaining a substantial and totally separate 3,500 sq. ft. private residence.  In addition, a 3,200-square-foot Quonset building, currently used for motorhome, equipment and trailer storage, adds another substantial and highly practical dimension to the property. 

But size tells only part of the story.

The Schoolhouse is particularly well suited to an owner who values having an exceptional amount—and variety—of space: room for family and entertaining, collections, hobbies, vehicles, creative pursuits, business interests or simply the luxury of having space to spare.

The property's site-specific Highway Commercial Special Exception 17 (CH-17-H) zoning provides for a broad range of commercial uses and additional possibilities, creating potential that extends well beyond that of a conventional country residential estate.  

An extraordinary residence. Space for the things you love. And the flexibility to imagine what comes next.
