We loved being a part of A Main Street Christmas this year and joining the Santa Claus Parade.

Our team at Distinctive Properties - Town & Country have been hard at work this holiday season, from organizing a holiday gift guide to the Main Street Christmas parade and everything in between. Most importantly, however, is our winter coat drive.

It’s been quite a year! Thank you to all of our wonderful clients and to everyone behind the scenes who have made it all possible.

Our 2024 gift guide is here!

We have put together a list of our favourite items to give…

FEI Open Welcome Stake at the Caledon Equestrian Park, Sponsored by Carolyn Scime and Chestnut Park Real Estate

Congratulations to our clients and the new owners of these beautiful country properties that have recently sold in Mono, Ontario.

Mono Township is best known for its bucolic rural landscape, scenic farms and classic country estates. In an area that is home to many exceptional equestrian facilities, this sprawling, stately bungaloft sits privately on 10 picturesque acres, and is the perfect home for large families and entertainers alike.

Let's revisit one of our most memorable sales of 2023: a stunning 98-acre equestrian estate in Mono Township, surrounded by rolling countryside, expansive estates, and conservation lands. This property was a paradise for avid equestrians and nature enthusiasts alike.

Imagine a charming country retreat, privately placed away from the road, with mature towering trees and the acerage for unlimited activies. In the winter, enjoy snow-shoeing the snow-covered manicured trails or snuggle up to a warm fire around the floor-to-ceiling fieldstone wood-burning fireplace. In the summer, practice your iron play with the three golf holes, or grow your own vegetables in the organic garden.

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that presented unprecedented challenges in the real estate industry. Despite the hurdles, we are elated to share that it has been one of our most successful years to date, and we owe this triumph to the unwavering loyalty and support of our incredible clients.

With the holiday season just around the corner, many of us are gearing up to welcome friends and family into our homes. One key element to ensure a warm and inviting stay for your guests is a thoughtfully curated guest room. We're excited to share some expert tips on how to put together the best guest room for an unforgettable experience.

We understand that moving and packing can be stressful. We believe in a concierge level of service throughout the moving process and our trusted service provider, Sage Goldenberg helps us to do that.

As 2023 begins to wind down, I find myself reflecting on the events of the past year - areas where we were successful, where there was room for improvement, what was new for us this year, etc. The biggest standout for me in the past year was easily our sponsorship of the Angelstone Tournaments at the Caledon Equestrian Park.

Sometimes I come across a really noteworthy property, and this one is definitely worth sharing.

Imagine sitting on your porch, drinking a coffee on a beautiful summer morning. The sun is peeking through the trees, the wind is sweeping over the rolling hills, windchimes are delicately ringing…

My number one recommendation when it comes to preparing a property for the market is a fresh coat of paint. In my opinion, it is the most cost effective, high impact improvement you can invest in. It gives each space a fresh and clean feel, and welcomes prospective buyers to imagine themselves creating a space of their own.

Taking the time and effort to prepare and present a home in its best light prior to listing has a direct correlation with the ultimate sale price and days on market. It is crucial that a listing comes out strong and looking its best to set itself apart from other listings and to build momentum and excitement within the buyer pool.
