2459 Dominion Road, Fort Erie, Ontario L0S 1N0

Set on 1.48 acres of beautifully situated land with direct access to the Friendship Trail, this rare commercial offering combines charm, history, and exceptional potential. The 3000 sq. ft. building, originally constructed in 1873 as a schoolhouse and expanded in the 1950s, retains its character with soaring ceilings and elegant arched windows, and was most recently home to a well-loved antique shop. Zoned Rural Commercial, the property supports a diverse range of permitted uses, including garden centres, veterinary clinics, pet daycares, kennels, feed and fertilizer dealers, construction trade businesses, and farmers markets. There is also potential to build a residential unit above the commercial space, opening the door for a unique live-work opportunity. A major highlight is its location directly on the Friendship Trail, which is a 24-kilometer, paved, car-free multi-use path that stretches from Port Colborne to Fort Erie. Built on a former rail line, this scenic trail winds through farmland, villages, and residential areas along the north shore of Lake Erie, eventually linking to the Niagara Parks Recreation Trail near Historic Fort Erie. It is also located just 10 minutes from the Peace Bridge and surrounded by thriving local farms, perfectly positioning this property for agri-business or anyone looking to blend commercial ambition with rural charm and cross-border convenience.
