Every once in a while, you come across a property that brings back memories from your childhood… and this is one of them. 

Set on approximately 153 picturesque acres just north of Georgetown, 12707 Ninth Line is a truly rare country property where history, community, and rural living come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by rolling farmland, mature trees, ponds, and open countryside views, the property has long been woven into the story of Halton Hills and generations of rural Ontario life. 

Long before quilters filled “The Stable” searching for fabric and inspiration, this property was home to the Spence family horse farm. The barn doors opened early. Horses filled the stable. Families gathered here through every season while life moved to the rhythm of the countryside surrounding them. 

Over time, the property became widely recognized as the longtime home of the beloved Hobby Horse Quilt Shoppe, a destination remembered fondly by visitors from across Ontario. While the business itself is not included in the sale, the property remains deeply connected to the memories and traditions built here over decades. The original stable, once home to horses and everyday farm life, later became a warm and welcoming gathering place filled with creativity, conversation, and community. 

Today, the property continues to offer that same sense of warmth and authenticity while providing an exceptional opportunity for its next chapter. 

The beautifully renovated circa 1870 farmhouse blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates while preserving the charm and craftsmanship that define the home. A wraparound covered porch overlooks the peaceful countryside, creating the perfect place to enjoy sunrise views and quiet evenings surrounded by nature. Inside, the home features sun filled principal rooms, original wood flooring and trim, exposed wood beams, multiple fireplaces, a heated three season sunroom, and timeless character details throughout. 

The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinetry, wood accents, a dedicated coffee station, and views overlooking the property, while the inviting family room features a certified wood burning fireplace insert and walkout access to the heated sunroom. Upstairs, the home continues to showcase its historic charm with sloped ceilings, original details, and peaceful countryside views from the bedrooms. 

Beyond the main residence, the property includes an iconic early 20th century barn rich with authentic craftsmanship and history. Constructed from reclaimed wood with original peg joinery, the barn includes a hay loft, granary area, hydro, and incredible visual character throughout. Additional outbuildings include the current quilt shop building and tractor shed, adding flexibility and functionality to the property. 

Approximately 100 acres are workable/arable land, while the remaining acreage offers ponds, mature trees, conservation surroundings, and scenic open space that create a remarkable sense of privacy and connection to the landscape. Whether envisioned as a private rural retreat, hobby farm, multi generational property, equestrian lifestyle opportunity, or simply a peaceful place to slow down and reconnect with country living, this property offers exceptional versatility within minutes of Georgetown and convenient access to the GTA. 

Some properties are simply bought and sold. 

Others become part of people’s lives. 

12707 Ninth Line is one of those rare places where generations gathered, traditions were built, and memories continue to live on long after people leave.
