When Paul Malo created Thousand Islands Life in 2005, he did so with a hope that much of the "past" would be appreciated. He wrote at that time: "In the interest of finding appreciative stewards of historic properties, Thousand Islands Life presents some real estate of exceptional importance when offered for sale." TI Life has compiled a number of resources to present these properties - however we do not promote any sale. All inquiries should be made to the contact on each property listing. Note: Totem Lodge on Tar Island has been sold. Latest listing: 1649 County Road # 2, Prescott, Ontario. April 11, 2013. Dewer’s Inn on the River – 1649 County Road #2, Prescott, Ontario | | The history of this property was written in detail in the April’13 issue of Thousand Islands Life Magazine. Excerpt: “Long before our paradise became a recreational riverfront, in 1869 an industrialist by the name of John McCarthy chose this perfect setting on the St. Lawrence River to establish a red brick brewery with his partner James Quinn. There, next to the grand St. Lawrence River was a bountiful abundance of cool natural spring water for masterful beer crafting. These perfect conditions came together with John McCarthy’s extensive experience in the distillery business. Producing 7,000 barrels of beer a year, he managed to grow the brewery into Upper Canada’s largest brewery. Furthermore, the natural foundation of a bedrock floor allowed for the brewery ideal conditions to house storage vaults on a bedrock floor basement. This contributed to the genius of making some of Canada’s finest beer- no wonder our secret garden cottage retreat is such a happy place!”  | Profitable waterfront paradise – Pristine turnkey investment property featuring 18 custom built and decorated housekeeping cottages, cozy motel efficiency units and 3 spacious apartments with fireplaces.
