Welcome to Stillbrook House, circa 1845, an exceptional country estate nestled among the rolling Northumberland Hills just north of the historic village of Grafton. Offering 5,000+ sq. ft. of living space, this remarkable brick residence combines grand proportions, timeless character and exceptional versatility, with 5+ bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Privately set along winding Cherry Hill Road, shared by only a handful of properties, Stillbrook House offers a rare sense of peace and seclusion while remaining conveniently connected to village amenities and the surrounding countryside. The oldest portion of the home, a rear tail dating to before 1845, adds an intriguing layer to its history, while the principal residence features soaring ceilings, generously proportioned rooms and a distinctive reciprocal staircase-an architectural detail rarely found in today's homes. The expansive grounds further enhance the estate experience, featuring a private tennis court and pond that provide an exceptional setting for recreation, entertaining and summer gatherings. The property's scale, privacy and amenities offer an ideal environment for family living, a country retreat or multigenerational use. Remarkably, Stillbrook House has not been offered for sale in more than 50 years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire an estate of this scale, character and potential. Its proximity to Ste. Anne's Spa and the revitalizing village centre of Grafton adds to its appeal, while a secondary lane offers the possibility of direct access to Shelter Valley Road, subject to approvals.A truly distinctive Northumberland Hills property, Stillbrook House offers space, privacy, architectural character and recreational appeal in an extraordinary country setting.
