Built for Astorville Homes and Cottages
Astorville sits in the Municipality of East Ferris alongside Corbeil, between Trout Lake and Lake Nosbonsing—so moisture, freeze/thaw, and seasonal traffic on Hwy 94 shape how we build and schedule. We choose fastening, finishes, and joinery with lakeside life in mind.
You'll often find us near community anchors like the East Ferris Community Centre on Village Rd and around shoreline roads on Nosbonsing—tight driveways, older framing, and uneven floors are normal here, and we plan for them.

For sheds and accessory structures, East Ferris advises permits when greater than 108 sq ft; always confirm your specific scope.
