Originally built in 1964 as Escott Public School.
Set on 5 acres in Eastern Ontario's 1000 Islands region, the property comprises an approximately 13,000 sq. ft. former school building footprint and a separate approximately 3,200 sq. ft. Quonset building.
Approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of the former school is finished living and usable space, with approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of additional unrenovated space (currently leased).
The separate Quonset building adds exceptional storage and utility for vehicles, equipment, hobbies and collections.
While the majority of the approximately 13,000-square-foot building serves as the owners' private residence, several former classroom spaces are currently occupied under a commercial lease—demonstrating how residential living and a separate commercial use can successfully coexist within the property.
The current lease expires at the end of December 2026 and will not be renewed, leaving those spaces available for the next owner to use according to their own needs and vision.
For a purchaser seeking an entirely private estate, the spaces can simply become part of the larger property. For an owner with business, studio, hobby, collection or other space requirements, their previous commercial use demonstrates another dimension of the Schoolhouse flexibility.
The current commercial tenancy is not being offered as an ongoing investment arrangement. Rather, it illustrates something unusual about the Schoolhouse: the ability to accommodate substantially different uses within one exceptionally large property.
The property's site-specific CH-17-H zoning provides for a broad range of permitted commercial uses, with additional uses subject to the Holding provisions.
