The place

A recently renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Georgian Bay. Shrouded by forest, the home stands above a bustling waterway and is surrounded by trails, ideal surroundings for hiking, kayaking and snowmobiling. It also comes with two guest cottages on the grounds, and residents are a short drive from the 400.

The history

The original structure was built in the early 1980s and has undergone substantial renovations in the past three years to prepare it for the market.

The tour

As guests ride up to the residence—perched atop a mass of ancient rock—it becomes clear that the place is an ideal setting for swimming, boating and relaxing with friends.

Here’s the façade. A gravel driveway curls around the home—just like its jumbo wrap-around deck.

The new matte-black windows, sliding glass doors and glass railings add some contemporary elegance.

Turn around to take in the serene view of Wood Landing.

Moving inside reveals the living space overlooking the water. Note the cathedral ceilings and vintage wood-burning furnace.

In the kitchen: a gas oven and cooktop embedded into the central island, a wine fridge, designer light fixtures and plenty of storage.

Down the hall is the breakfast bar, which doubles as a sunroom of sorts. It walks out to the deck and is equipped with a handy beer tap.

And here’s the dining area.

The main bedroom has a view of the forest.

It also comes with an ensuite bathroom, lined with new stone tiles and a double vanity.

This bedroom is currently set up for kids.

Here’s a peek at the rear of the home.

The driveway also extends to this two-car garage.

Here’s one of the property’s two guest bunkies.

Much of the property borders Crown lands, meaning extra privacy.

Lastly, here’s a bird’s eye view of the entire peninsula.
