Discover a one-of-a-kind country lifestyle in Loretto, where a beautifully converted schoolhouse sits on 1.07 fully fenced acres surrounded by mature trees, gardens, and peaceful countryside, with no neighbouring homes beside or behind. Just 8 minutes from Alliston, this character-filled retreat blends rural privacy with everyday convenience. Inside, 9-foot main floor ceilings, reclaimed Douglas fir floors, and a wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and history to the spacious living room. The bright eat-in kitchen features handcrafted wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and generous storage. With 3+1 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and main floor laundry, there's room for family and guests, while the finished lower level offers a recreation room, wet bar, and flexible bedroom, office, or gym. Outside, spend summer days by the in-ground pool, entertain on the expansive patio, or gather around the fire pit beneath the stars. A pool house, greenhouse, garden shed, and flourishing orchard with apple, cherry, peach, apricot, and mulberry trees, plus berries and rhubarb, invite you to embrace a garden-to-table lifestyle. A detached 20' x 40' garage with a heated workshop adds space for projects and hobbies. Beyond the property, explore Alliston's historic downtown shops and restaurants, discover local favourites like Sheldon Creek Dairy and Murphy's Farm Market, or enjoy arts and culture at the Gibson Centre. Earl Rowe Provincial Park offers hiking, fishing, paddling, and outdoor adventures, while the Alliston Potato Festival, Beeton Honey & Garden Festival, and seasonal markets celebrate the area's community spirit. With access to Highways 89 and 400, this remarkable property offers the freedom of country living without leaving town conveniences behind. (id:25312)
