About This Property

Set in the heart of Pakenham, a quiet and picturesque village in the Ottawa Valley, this remarkable commercial property occupies a storied place along the banks of the Mississippi River. Pakenham is known for its natural beauty and deep historical roots, offering a setting that feels both timeless and quietly inspiring. Originally established in the 1830s as a milling hub, the village grew around the vision of Andrew Dickson, who commissioned this striking stone building in the 1840's. Designed in the Neo-Classical style, the structure stands as a lasting testament to early Ontario craftsmanship and ambition. It sits prominently at the end of Pakenham's iconic five-span stone bridge - the only bridge of its kind in North America, giving the property a sense of arrival and distinction that is impossible to replicate. Inside, the building is rich with character and authenticity. Wood floors, exposed beam ceilings, gallery lighting, and original stone walls create a warm, textured interior well suited to a variety of commercial uses. Approximately twenty years ago, the side entrance was rebuilt, adding a new staircase, storage area, and a second-floor office. This secondary access offers valuable flexibility, allowing the space to be shared or configured to suit different operational needs. Well suited for professional offices, studio, gallery, or retail, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique commercial property, one that blends architectural significance, adaptable space, and an exceptional setting. Owning this building is not simply a business decision, but a chance to become a steward of an irreplaceable piece of Ontario's history. Small parking area on the left side of the building. All services are currently off and will need to be reinstated by the new owner. Two 100 amp panels. Building being sold as is where is with no warranty by the estate. Buyer should budget for a new roof. 72 hour irrevocable required.
