Life doesn’t get much better than being able to call Niagara-on-the-Lake “home.” And better still, when that home is in the village of Virgil, the historic “Crossroads” of the Niagara Region.

Located just west of NOTL’s historic Old Town and a short drive from the mighty Niagara Falls, Canada’s top tourist attraction, Virgil has become one of the most sought-after places to live in Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe. Surrounded by vineyards and orchards and enjoying a milder climate than much of the province, the village offers a mix of newer custom builds and established family homes on larger lots, all of it within five minutes of Queen Street’s shops, the Shaw Festival Theatre, and some of the country’s top wineries.

Virgil’s luxury real estate market has strengthened in recent years, with custom homes on premium lots regularly selling above $2 million. Homeownership rates in Niagara-on-the-Lake sit above 90 percent, inventory remains limited, and properties that combine acreage, renovation quality, and vineyard setting are something of a rarity.

The Four Mile Creek corridor, a semi-rural pocket running south from Niagara Stone Road, is particularly prized for its generous lot sizes and proximity to both the escarpment and the wine route.

Luxury Wine Country Estate for Sale in Virgil

One of the newest listings to hit the NOTL market, 1275 Four Mile Creek Road is an estate-calibre property offered for sale by The Fine Estates Team, Revel Realty Inc. Set on a 1.6-acre lot with uninterrupted vineyard views, this 3+2 bedroom, 4-bathroom home delivers over 3,400 square feet of living space that was comprehensively renovated in 2022 by Wendy Edwards Design.

The great room sets the tone with 16-foot ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space. Natural light fills the room through large windows that look out over the surrounding vineyards, and the open layout connects directly to the kitchen and dining areas.

You won’t find a better kitchen view anywhere in Niagara

The kitchen was designed for people who take cooking seriously. Two quartz islands provide ample prep and serving space, while a 48-inch dual-fuel Thermador range anchors the cooking station. The range includes a steam oven, a six-burner gas cooktop with an electric griddle, a conventional electric oven, and an oversized double exhaust fan. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party for 20 or making a weeknight meal, the layout handles both scenarios without compromise.

Private Retreats and a Dedicated Home Office

The upper level includes three bedrooms, two of which open onto private balconies overlooking the property and the vineyard landscape. These rooms function as quiet retreats, separated from the main living areas and benefiting from the home’s overall sense of space and light.

A dedicated home office occupies its own room on the main level, fitted with custom built-ins and a 9-foot coffered ceiling. For those who work remotely or run a home-based business, this is a proper workspace rather than a repurposed spare bedroom. Bell Fibre internet service is already in place, ensuring reliable high-speed connectivity.

The fully finished lower level adds significant flexibility to the home. Configured as a self-contained in-law suite, it includes its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry facilities, gas fireplace, and additional bedrooms. The arrangement works for extended family, long-term guests, or anyone who values the option of separate living quarters within the same property. Few homes in this price range offer this level of built-in versatility.

The outdoor setup takes full advantage of the huge lot and its vineyard backdrop. A 42-inch Weber natural gas BBQ comes equipped with a rotisserie, griddle, sear station, and smoker, making it a proper outdoor cooking station rather than a basic grill. The property’s size and privacy make it suitable for large gatherings as well as quiet evenings, without the sense of being overlooked that comes with smaller lots closer to town.
