Converted Grain Mill Becomes Premium Event Venue In South Bruce
Originally owned by the Little family, who operated it as a Grist Mill until 1973, the venue became run down over almost 25 years as it changed ownership multiple times. In 1998, Bert and Stella Metcalfe saw the same potential we did in a large, dilapidated property that had been virtually abandoned for 20 years, and decided to purchase it.
Over the next 20 years, the Metcalfes took it upon themselves to repair the dam and the damaged turbines, allowing the mill to produce hydro again. This labour of love became their family home for 23 years until we purchased it in 2021. The incredible potential of this property allowed itself to become a fixture of South Bruce - something for the entire community to enjoy and be proud of.
We’ve carefully renovated the entire property in a way that pays homage to its history with the Little and Metcalfe families. The exposed beams provide a grand, rustic feel, while the clean modern finishes and quirky fixtures make this a space for everyone to enjoy.
Explore All 21 Acres Of The Property
The Post and Beam is set on a 21-acre private property that is home to one of the last privately-owned dams in Ontario. The property is divided into 7 acres of land which allows for plenty of parking and outdoor games during the day with an additional 14 acres covered by a pond that is perfect for fishing, canoeing, or paddle boating.
Things To Do At The Post & Beam
Have Fun With Activities For All Seasons
Two 1000 square foot decks, one covered and one uncovered, allow guests to enjoy the outdoors regardless of weather. Both decks are a great place to start the day or wind it down with a beverage of choice. A large fire pit just outside the doors is a great place to gather and enjoy the night sky. The property is breath-taking in the winter if you want to step back and enjoy the view, and we are less than 2 kilometres from snowmobile trails,.
Cozy Up And Enjoy The Amenities Inside
There is also plenty of space to unwind inside for those looking to enjoy some time away and get together with your group. Air hockey, poker, and pool tables are available for the competitors in your group, with several areas for everyone to gather together inside or break off into smaller groups. If you’re feeling bold, we definitely recommend a winter outdoor fire!
