A New Way to Live in Prince Edward County
A historic site in Ontario’s Prince Edward County is entering a new chapter — one designed around the way people want to live today. Set within Base31, Base Living brings a new residential community to one of the County’s most distinctive destinations, connecting thoughtfully designed homes with trails, green spaces, arts, culture and year-round experiences.

Residential construction is to begin this year for Base 31’s Hilltop development at the corner of Kingsley Road and County Road 22. The area is formerly known as Loch Sloy Business Park and Airport, ‘The Heights’ and home of the Royal Airforce’s No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery School.

How to Have a Perfect Summer Weekend in Prince Edward County
For many Torontonians, there’s no better weekend escape than a few leisurely days in Prince Edward County. The beloved destination has earned its reputation for exceptional wineries, destination-worthy restaurants, a thriving arts community and warm hospitality. Just a (relatively) easy two-hour drive from the city, it feels worlds away from Toronto’s pace. After several challenging years for its tourism and hospitality industry during and after the pandemic, The County is once again buzzing with energy. In fact, so many Torontonians have traded weekend visits for permanent addresses in recent years that the region feels livelier than ever.

Part of the magic of Angine de Poitrine is the return to this however-far-gone (I'm not here to judge) state of simple understanding.

How this historic 75-acre airbase in Ontario turned into a cultural village that hosts music festivals
Born in war, revitalized for the arts. That’s the story of Picton’s Base31 in a nutshell. That brief description, however accurate, doesn’t do justice to the scale and scope of an attraction spanning 75 acres and 80 years of history in Ontario.
