This Durham century home is the rare kind that kept its character and quietly fixed everything underneath it.

But here's what you don't see in the photos or video: a brand-new furnace (2026), an updated electrical panel, a freshly insulated attic, new windows (2025), and an owned water heater (2022). The main-floor bathroom was renovated. The upstairs bath was updated with a new tub and toilet. New washer and dryer. Even the staircases have fresh runners.

Around back, a separate entrance opens to a room with its own bathroom — a main-floor bedroom, a private home office, or space to run a small business with its own door.

Outside, the yard is deep and partially fenced, backing right onto a walking trail. Two storage sheds, a clothesline, and parking for about four vehicles.

My dad is hosting the 93rd Annual Normanby Plowmen’s Association Plowing Match this year! 🚜

And the timing is pretty perfect… it’s happening just 2 weeks before the International Plowing Match comes to Bruce County, so I have a feeling there’s going to be some pretty serious plowing happening with everyone getting their practice in. 😂

📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026
📍 121344 Concession 8, Ayton
🌾 Stubble plowing
🍔 Food on site

We’d also love to have some local businesses get involved! If you’d like to donate a prize, set up a tent, sponsor something, or have another idea, send me a message. The more local people we can get involved, the better.

And if you’ve never actually watched a plowing match before… this might be the year to come see what the heck competitive plowing is all about. It’s harder than you think!

Come out, grab some food, watch some damn good plowing and support a little local tradition that’s been going for 93 years. ❤️🚜

SOLD IN WALKERTON! 🏡

Some homes just need a little love and the right people to see what it could become.

These two best friends walked in with a beautiful vision, made a seriously smart buy, and officially became first-time homeowners!

It may not be their forever home, but that’s kind of the point. It’s the home that gets them started and helps them work toward everything that comes next.

I’m so proud of them for seeing the potential and going for it. Now I cannot wait to watch them make this place their own.

Congratulations, you two! 🔑🛠️

September is PACKED. 🍂

Fall fairs, night markets, Ribfest, collectibles, and of course the International Plowing Match right here in Walkerton. 👀🚜

I pulled together some of the events happening around Grey & Bruce this September so you don’t have to go hunting for them.

Save this post for when you’re sitting there on a Saturday morning thinking, “What should we do today?” 😂

And if I missed a one, DROP IT IN THE COMMENTS! 👇 I know there are more!

CLOSING DAY 🤍

Today, this young family officially gets the keys to their farm.

This property already meant something to them, so it’s pretty cool to see it finally become theirs. They’ll be closer to family, the kids have a massive yard, and there’s a shop; which may or may not have been the most important part. 😂

I’m genuinely so happy for them.

For the first time in its history, this well-kept family home on sixty acres comes to market — eight minutes from Hanover, and never once offered before today.

The arrival sets the tone. A long private driveway draws you in past a wall of trees until the land opens up and reveals itself in pieces. Roughly twenty acres of workable land. Three cabins tucked into the trees. Two ponds. Walking trails threading the whole of it. And at the very back, the Saugeen River running the property line, with a second parcel waiting on the far bank.

The four-season home sits at the centre of it all — open, comfortable, and built to be lived in every month of the year, with a standby generator wired in, a two-car detached garage, and a separate storage shed for everything a working property accumulates.

Wilderness at the end of the lane. Town just past it. Room for the family, room for the work, room for the weekends.

Offered at $1,990,000.

Could a massive data centre be coming to Kincardine? 👀

Nothing has been approved. But, it’s up for discussion.

Kincardine says companies in the data-centre industry have already been making inquiries — and with major energy infrastructure right in Bruce County, it’s not hard to understand why they’re looking here.

The municipality is now weighing in on Ontario’s proposed rules for future data-centre developments, with questions around local benefits, infrastructure costs, emergency planning and transparency.

So… what do you think?

💬 Would you want a data centre in Bruce County?

Inside, the main floor is open and bright, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and main-floor laundry.

You’re also close to Wingham, the local pond and dam, and the Stevenson Tract walking trails.

Listed at $649,000.
