Stirling Real Estate
Professional theatre in farm country — Moira River, Hastings County, and curtain at 8pm
Stirling's most surprising asset is the Stirling Festival Theatre — a professional summer theatre company that has been producing plays in this Hastings County agricultural village since 1991. The company stages full professional productions (comedy, drama, musicals) in a converted church venue that seats over 200, drawing audiences from across the Bay of Quinte region and beyond. In a village of 2,500, a professional theatre company is not expected — and that unexpectedness is part of what gives Stirling its particular character: a community that takes culture seriously in a place where the main economic activity is still farming.
The Moira River runs through Stirling, providing fishing and canoeing access to the broader Moira watershed. Belleville is 25 km south with its full range of urban services. Campbellford is 25 km west. The housing market here is among the most affordable in Hastings County — full family homes regularly available under $500,000 — making Stirling an attractive option for buyers who want Trent Hills/Bay of Quinte country character without Belleville pricing. The community agricultural fair (Stirling Fall Fair) adds to a calendar that proves rural Ontario life can be fuller than outsiders assume.
