OUR ORIGIN STORY
How an estate dictated the vibe
Fairview 1855 is located in the tranquil town of Ridgeway, Ontario. With 35 acres of private, beautifully preserved land, this heritage Italianate Victorian farmhouse is more than just a building—it’s a backdrop for creativity, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences.
The estate was discovered in 2023, where founder Paige Clarke was casually looking at local listings. Fairview 1855 jumped off the page, a Victorian home was only something she had dreamed of. The property itself made an undeniable claim to its purpose; people needed to come here, and experience the indelible impression it leaves on all who visit.
â
After a year and a half of decorating, sourcing local antiques, wallpapering (yikes!), rummaging salvage yards, and working with local designer and contractor, Fairview was ready for her close-up.
â
To her credit, Fairview was immediately flooded with local interest, and even attracted US and Toronto crowds. Her first summer was booked solid with guests falling in love with her charms.
â
Our team would like to invite you to experience the same, for your wedding, special event, or just a blissful getaway for your nearest and dearest.
