EXISTING PROPERTY: OGILVIE MANSION

A three-acre property including an early 20th century mansion, better known as the Ogilvie mansion is a 385 square meter property built in the 1930’s for the Ogilvie family. It is majestic, with a classical stone structure and slate roof. The building is versatile and can be renovated to become an inn or restaurant, clubhouse to the golf course, a spa or it could be returned to its original historical stature as an elegant private country residence.

Annually since, substantial improvements were made to the property consisting of the construction of new roads (which provide access to all potential waterfront lots) and four new golf holes designed by the renowned golf course architect John Watson.
