198 Pasmore Street:
Where Architecture Meets the Escarpment

T ucked into the natural landscape of Rockwood, 198 Pasmore Street is a home that feels less like a property — and more like a private retreat carved from the land itself.

Set on over an acre and built directly into the limestone escarpment, this one-of-a-kind bungaloft was designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. From the moment you arrive, there's a sense of calm, privacy, and intention that's hard to replicate.

A Home Designed Around Nature

This isn't just a home placed on a lot — it's a home shaped by it.

Expansive windows frame uninterrupted forest views, while natural stone elements and warm finishes bring the outdoors in. The architecture takes full advantage of the elevation and landscape, creating a space that feels grounded, yet open and airy at the same time.

Every angle, every sightline, and every material choice reflects a deep connection to the environment around it.

Thoughtful Design Meets Everyday Luxury

With 2,976 sq ft of finished living space, the home balances refined design with livability. Inside, you'll find:

Soaring ceilings that elevate the main living spaces

A chef-inspired kitchen perfect for both quiet mornings and entertaining

A primary suite that feels like a private escape, complete with spa-like features and serene views

The walkout lower level expands the experience even further — offering a dedicated space for relaxation and entertainment, including a theatre room, bar, gym, and custom wine cellar.

A Property With a Story to Tell

What truly sets 198 Pasmore apart is its character.

On the property sits a restored historic log cabin — carefully relocated and rebuilt — adding a layer of charm and history that's rarely found in modern homes. Whether used as a studio, guest space, or quiet retreat, it brings a unique and meaningful dimension to the property.

Outdoors, a European-inspired stone courtyard and natural landscaping create multiple spaces to gather, unwind, and take in the surroundings.

Privacy, Space, and Connection — Just Minutes From Town

While the setting feels completely secluded, the home is ideally located just minutes from the amenities of Rockwood and a short drive to Guelph.

It's the kind of location that offers the best of both worlds — everyday convenience, paired with the tranquility of nature.

Every once in a while, someone goes above and beyond. For me, there have been moments—across different industries and stages of life—where people didn’t just meet expectations, they exceeded them. Those experiences stay with you. They guide you. Honestly, they become a benchmark for how you try to show up every single day. It doesn’t always happen in real estate or sales, but it absolutely influences how I approach my work. In some of those standout moments, I’ve even joked with the person delivering the experience, asking if they were looking for a career change. That’s how impactful it was. After 21 years in sales, I’ve learned something simple but powerful: "We can can always do more. The real question is whether we choose to."
