One owner’s vision, built by hand from open land and realized over years of patient, hands-on work. On 36 acres of rolling Georgina countryside, including 10 acres of arable farmland, a 495-metre drive winds through mature trees to a private hilltop residence of quiet distinction. The ICF home spans over 12,500 square feet. A 5-by-9-foot pivoting door opens to 20-foot ceilings, a floating bridge and a white oak staircase in glass. A wood-burning fireplace in imported stone anchors the great room, and an 18-foot glass door opens to the balcony.
The kitchen offers two islands, a 60-inch range, extensive built-in appliances and a hidden pantry. The main-floor primary wing is a private sanctuary, with a fireplace, heated floors, a slab-finished shower and a custom walk-in closet.
Upstairs are four bedrooms and a generous recreation room that could serve as a second primary suite with a rooftop balcony. The walk-out lower level is bright and open, with three bedrooms, a theatre and rooms prepared for a gym, sauna and steam room with a private washroom, plus a wine room, cigar lounge and vault, ready to finish as you wish. An elevator serves all three levels.
A floating concrete deck with glass railings preserves the view, while Douglas fir and tongue-and-groove ceilings warm every covered space. An outdoor wood-burning fireplace invites the evening outside. The grounds are prepared for a future pool, cabana and hot tub.
A separate ICF barndominium shop of approximately 5,000 square feet offers a kitchen, living and dining areas, a gym, an office, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a woodworking mezzanine, 400-amp service and a standby generator.
For the collector, the craftsman or the family business. Beyond, a half-acre spring fed pond with a sunken fire-pit and a cantilevered deck over the water. Trails wind through apple and maple trees, where wildlife keeps you company through every season.
An estate made slowly, and made well. Ready for its next chapter.
