There is something so encouraging about the first signs of spring, especially after a particularly long and trying winter like we have just had. The gradual shrinking of the massive snowbanks, the longer daylight hours, the birdsongs that become more active by the day are all signs that we are headed in the right direction. Here are a few of my favourite parts about springtime in the country.

Thoughtful preparation and strategic execution are the foundations of real estate success. In August of this past year, we witnessed exactly that with a stunning listing in the sought after Nobleton Lakes Golf Course community. The result? Our fastest sale of 2024, with the property selling in just 48 hours for $250,000 above asking price and setting a record for the neighourhood. Here is how we did it…

Our proven process elevates the properties we represent. Here’s how in 4 simple steps…

This February marks an exciting milestone as Chestnut Park and Carolyn Scime, Distinctive Town and Country Properties celebrates our first anniversary on Schomberg's Main Street in King Township. Our central location has proven perfect for serving our market areas while offering enhanced accessibility for clients. More importantly, we've become part of this wonderful community's fabric.

Q4 of 2024 was slower than usual and as a result there were a lot of great properties that didn’t sell the first time around. The good news is that the beginning of 2025 is positioned to be a much more active market with Seller expectations better aligning with current market conditions and some pent-up demand on behalf of Buyers…

Over the past few years my business has seen incredible growth and I couldn't be more excited about where we are headed. My vision has always been to expand our market share while maintaining the personalized, boutique-level service that our clients have come to know and trust. We have slowly grown into a small but mighty team, each bringing invaluable skills to the business.

As 2024 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks to our clients for their trust and support throughout this incredible year. It has been a privilege to guide so many of you through the journey of buying and selling, always striving to provide thoughtful, personalized service that makes the process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

This estate has everything. And by everything, we mean a private theatre, a wine cellar, an indoor basketball court, a climbing wall, equestrian trails, and more.

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.
