Spacious and luxurious, in
a beautiful natural setting, this waterfront property is an ideal all-season
country estate or retreat.
The main building is
designed to provide a lifestyle of casual comfortable elegance. Its centerpiece
is the Great room. With a 26’ high cathedral pine ceiling,
pine floors, loft and wood-burning stone hearth fireplace with adjacent built
in shelves and cabinets.
The Great room is flanked
by the dining room and main level master bedroom. All three rooms provide
endless waterfront views, as do the two large upper-level bedrooms, each with
its own three-piece bath and natural pine ceilings. The master bedroom also has
a jacuzzi, walk-in closet,
private toilet room, 2 vanities. a glass-fronted gas stove
and walkout to the large deck. with safety glass
railing.
The deck has a Muskoka
room, adjacent to the spacious pine-floored dining room, which is served by a
gourmet kitchen with ceramic counter tops and pine floor. The design is both
luxurious and practical, with the large Muskoka room permitting outdoor dining
in good weather.
Elegant,
large front double door, separate entrance with natura1 stone floor, oversize
double closets, with adjoining powder room.
Opportunities for
relaxation and recreation abound, indoors and out, throughout the year. There
is a family/games room on the lower level walk out deck .from lower level, and
the third floor loft would be idea1 as an electronic entertainment center or,
if desired, a workplace. Home is pre-wired for te1ephone, computers, CATS,
cable/sat., and alarm.
The opportunities for
outdoor pleasure are almost unlimited, with golf courses and ski areas nearby,
but Gloucester Pool is justly famous for boating. with
access to Georgian Bay. That is why this property has a two-slip, deep water
boat house with flanking docks, boat lift. plus a
large permanent1y anchored dock for
swimming and sunbathing, as well as vessels.
The Pool. as it is known, is a large
sheltered lake on the Scenic Trent Severn Waterway, just minutes away from
Georgian Bay or, in the other direction, the Big Chute Marine Railway. As a
result, boating can range from a tranquil evening paddle to something more
adventurous, a brisk shi or a long distance trip.
Boats are practical, too.
You can leave your cars behind in the double garage or on the private drive if
you wish to dine out at nearby lodges or do some shopping.
There is ample room for
boats, cars and people too. with a “bunkie” providing extra accommodation and free standing
Sauna building.
A distinct advantage of
this Cottage Country retreat is the relatively quick and easy trip up Highway
400. Those who have tried to reach North Muskoka on a long weekend will
appreciate the difference.
