When Stephan Weishaupt began looking for a weekend home outside Toronto, buying a 19th-century log cabin was the furthest thing from his mind. Mr. Weishaupt, the founder of Weishaupt Design Group and the president of a furniture company called Avenue Road, had long been focused on all things modern. When a friend told him about a 100-acre property with rolling hills, forests and ravines in Caledon East, Ontario, he was interested only in the land. “I walked some of the trails and fell in love with it,” Mr. Weishaupt, 45, said. But “the roof was sagging, and it was in dire need of repair,” Mr. Weishaupt said.
