From Vision to Reality: The Journey Behind 198 Pasmore St
Some homes are built to sell.
Others are built to stay.
But every once in a while, a home is built with such care, such craftsmanship, and such a bold vision that it becomes a legacy.
Welcome to 198 Pasmore Street! A property seven years in the making, where every inch tells a story of patience, passion, and perfection.
It All Starts with the Land
Long before a single stone was laid, the land at 198 Pasmore stood wild and untouched, a rugged slice of Rockwood, shielded by trees and bordered by natural limestone. It wasn’t just any plot. It was a place with potential.
But potential doesn’t come easy.
Over 18 feet of solid rock had to be excavated to prepare for the foundation. Before construction could even begin, the permit process alone took more than three years, a true test of the homeowner’s commitment to doing it right, not rushing it.
A Home Built to Last
This wasn’t going to be a cookie-cutter build.
From the start, the vision was clear: create a custom estate that blended timeless design with natural elements, all while ensuring top-tier quality at every level.
The stone used throughout the home was sourced from the land itself, complemented by heritage pieces brought in from other restoration projects.
A private jail cell, used as a cellar for all keepsakes. The lock system is from the Guelph Correctional Centre.
Lovingly reclaimed and integrated as a bold architectural feature—one of many nods to the region’s history.
From handcrafted cabinetry to artisan masonry, every detail reflects a standard far beyond the ordinary.
The Cabin That Tells a Story
At the edge of the property sits something truly special:
A restored log cabin, relocated from Ariss, carefully rebuilt atop a new foundation. Outfitted with a wet bar, full bathroom, gas fireplace, and generous storage, it’s more than a backyard feature—it’s a retreat, a guest house, a conversation starter and a great place to host.
Whether used as a studio, guest suite, or entertaining space, the cabin perfectly mirrors the home’s spirit: grounded in history, but upgraded for modern living.
Natural Beauty, Refined
On this 1.1 acre property, nature isn’t just a backdrop... it’s a feature.
A cascading waterfall sits in the center of the property creating a private oasis for relaxation and reflection. Native landscaping and lush tree cover offer peace and privacy, while the home’s positioning ensures sunset views that never get old.
This isn’t just a home. It’s an experience.
A Home That Can't Be Replicated
In a world of fast builds and flipping trends, 198 Pasmore stands alone.
This is a home that was never meant to be rushed or replicated. It’s the product of nearly a decade of dreaming, planning, and executing with care.
Now, for the first time, it’s ready for a new chapter.
It is ready for someone who values the story just as much as the structure.

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."
