I thought this might make an interesting idea for a thread. People could gain an appreciation for what might be available across this vast land. I imagine the listings will skew significantly to the high end.

The Pagan O’Neil House is described as one of the oldest residences in Saint Andrews. The frames and boards were brought here from Castine, Maine, in 1783 by Loyalist leader Robert Pagan. According to Canada’s Historic Places, Pagan was one of the first Loyalist settlers to arrive after the American Revolutionary War. Many of those Loyalists disassembled their houses and transported them by ship. Robert Pagan (1750-1821) was a merchant, magistrate, a judge, a member of the Legislative Assembly, and a colonel in the militia.

This house is within spitting distance of being the oldest surviving house in the province of New Brunswick. That honour belongs to the Treitz Haus here in Moncton. The Treitz Haus dates to 1769 (pre-revolutionary), and was built three years after the arrival of Pennsylvania Dutch settlers from Philadelphia, sponsored by Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Land Company.
