About this property

Commercial with Residence combined for this unique opportunity! Step into a piece of history with the remarkable Sparta House, built between 1838 and 1840 by David Mills as an elegant hotel. This stunning colonial-style building, with its iconic double-decked verandah and spacious upper ballroom, has witnessed a rich tapestry of community life over the years. After its hotel days, the Sparta House transitioned into a general store under Ira Hilborn before becoming a beloved gathering place during the Moedinger era where locals would convene around the central stove to exchange stories and engage in lively discussions. In more recent years, the building has evolved into a charming Tearoom/Restaurant, blending its historical charm with contemporary dining experiences. The meticulous restoration has brought the Sparta House back to its former glory, making it the perfect destination for both returning patrons and first-time visitors. This unique opportunity comes complete with a stunning upper 2+1 Bedroom owners apartment with a huge walk out verandah overlooking the main street. Located in the historic village of Sparta, this property is surrounded by an array of antique shops, craft stores, and artist studios.

With the popular destinations of Port Stanley and Port Bruce just a short drive away, the Sparta House offers a fantastic opportunity to attract tourists looking for a unique and relaxing stop on their journeys.
