The space
This limestone 1847 harbour home ‘The Owens House' is famous for its trapezoidal shape (only 8 like it in Canada) and has been renovated to preserve the history of the home while providing modern custom features. The Owens House combines centuries-old charm with modern comforts and designer details, featuring an eclectic mix of modern farmhouse, vintage and boho styles.

On the main floor, the kitchen features espresso cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and bright windows overlooking the harbour and backyard. The great room features a natural gas fireplace which creates the perfect atmosphere for romance and relaxation on cooler nights. Custom built-in cabinetry flanks the back wall and is where you’ll find family games and a vast book collection as well as a desk for the travelling professional. The great room also includes a dining area with seats for eight. The family room is a large, sun-soaked space with vaulted ceilings and a skylight which offers a flat screen TV-viewing area and comfortable seating overlooking the landscaped yard, and entrances to both the side porch and BBQ/stone patio/hot tub areas. An updated 2-piece bathroom is also located on the main floor.

Upstairs features three well-appointed bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen and 1 Full & 1 Twin) and a comfortable sitting room for reading, relaxing or movie-watching on the Queen sofa bed. The newly completed spa bathroom features heated floors, double vanity, sunken soaker tub and a 6-foot rainfall glass shower. The bathroom connects to a walk-in custom laundry area featuring a washer/dryer, ironing board and clothes racks.

This home is set on a beautifully landscaped 1/2-acre lot with lush gardens, interlocking stone patio, patio furniture, BBQ, 5 person hot tub, chiminea fire pit, paved circular driveway and large garage which sits at the back of the lot. The front walkway leads to the street where you can cross to Picton Harbour (200 meters away) to stroll on the boardwalk, have a bite to eat, fish, dock your boat or charter one and enjoy Picton Bay!

This heritage house is centrally located in The County, meaning boundless access to entertainment and amenities by foot, bike or a scenic drive. The Crystal palace and Macaulay Mountain are about 1km away, with the latter boasting 20km of hiking trails and the famed Birdhouse City. It is a short drive to Sandbanks Provincial Parks (20 min) and Lake on the Mountain (8 min). Explore our vibrant community and its abundance of wineries, cideries, breweries, artist studios, farmer's markets, cheese factories, festivals and scenic farm and water views. Enjoy warm summer days and nights lounging under the trees on the patio or sitting by the campfire.

We provide our guests with linens, bath towels (indoor use only), kitchenware, tea and coffee. Please bring beach towels for outdoor use including the hot tub.

Highspeed WiFi, 3 cable TVs with Netflix and Prime Video, cornhole, various board games and library of books are also provided with your stay.

The Owens house is a peaceful getaway from the pace of everyday life; it’s a place to disconnect and reconnect with family and friends in absolute comfort. Make this your home base for your PEC adventures. We look forward to hosting you.
