The place

A five-bedroom, seven-plus-one-bathroom estate in Port Carling with spectacular views of nature on all sides. The property overlooks Sugarbush Bay and has its own two-storey boathouse and private waterfront spanning 130 metres. It’s a quick boat ride from Huckleberry Rock Lookout Trail and a short drive from the 400.

The history

The original owner, an entrepreneur, built this spot in 2022 and used it as a family cottage.

The tour

The façade is cedar, a nod to the dense surrounding forest that adds privacy.

Granite floors and oak ceilings greet residents in the foyer.

Here’s a look at the living space, complete with 10-foot ceilings. Note that panoramic view.

There are four fireplaces on-site. This one is wood-burning.

Turn around and you’re in the kitchen. Its island is loaded with storage and two dishwashers. The appliances are Wolf and Sub-Zero.

This oak-lined mudroom sits on the other side of the kitchen and leads to the garage.

Down the hall is the family room. It comes with a French-inspired stone fireplace and coffered ceilings. That wine cellar is climate controlled and houses 280 bottles.

In the main bedroom: another fireplace and a walkout to one of the home’s three decks.

The main ensuite is equipped with a double shower, a double vanity, a marble counter and natural stone floors. Call it Canadian-style terrazzo.

The three-sided view from the soaker tub is like a Group of Seven painting.

This is the main walk-in closet, which also functions as a laundry room.

This office is the last stop on the main floor. It has its own bathroom and closet, so it could be used as a guest room.

A double-wide staircase, flanked by oak shiplap, leads to the lower level.

Down below, there’s a jumbo rec room with a gas fireplace, picture-frame glass doors and built-in speakers.

The bar—with a tap for kegs—evokes King West.

Here’s a peek inside the lower level’s bathroom.

Moving back upstairs reveals the home’s many decks.

Here’s an aerial view of the backyard and shoreline. That patio of sorts is designed to accommodate a future firepit and dining area.

Serene, no?

The boathouse comes with three slips and a deck the size of a basketball court.

Inside, there’s cedar everywhere and an entertainment station for parties.

Upstairs: a wine fridge, a dishwasher, two more bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom.

Lastly, here’s the boathouse at dusk, overlooking Sugarbush Bay.
