Glen Country Club, 17k from the Bateau Creek Golf Club, 18k
from Duntroon Highlands Golf course and cross country ski
trails, 25k to Osler Bluff Ski Club, and 24k to Mansfield
Ski Club.The four seasons amenities of Collingwood are a 20
minute drive away. The forest is a mix of maple, black cherry,
ash, yellow and paper birch, basswood, ironwood, beech and
cedar, and provides an unlimited supply of hardwood for heating.
The property is located within the Niagara Escarpment and
the tree-covered moraine habitat supports a natural garden
of wildflowers, ferns, rare sedges, morels and many other
wild edibles. Songbirds and wild turkeys will be your closest
neighbours, and in the winter you can eat your breakfast while
watching the deer across the valley.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
- House has 8" exterior walls with
fibreglass insulation; roof has 12" fibreglass insulation
- 2" of blue styrofoam line the
exterior perimeter of the foundation walls and is also under
the first level concrete floor
- House is designed to be partially
heated with passive solar energy: large south-facing windows
collect heat on sunny days and the mass of concrete, brick,
tile and stone retain the heat which is retained by the
super insulation factor
- The property provides an unlimited
supply of wood for heating via the airtight stove.
- Perennial gardens create an expanse
of colour at the front of the house.
- A fish pond creates a water feature
near the front entrance and is accented by planters and
a seating area
- Swimming pool is 16' x 32' -
3 1/2 ft to 7 ft deep. It is terraced into the hillside
and has surrounding deck and a propane pool heater.
- Curved and treed driveway to
ensure privacy from the road Double detached garage
- The property includes probably
the only private cable car in Ontario. The car can carry
two people and runs from the garage beside the road up to
the house, approximately 350 ft, with elevation of about
50 ft. The lift is housed in a small building (lift-house/garden
shed) beside the house. The driveway is regularly blown
clear of snow by Bob Hanson of Creemore and is used by vehicular
traffic throughout the winter season. However the lift is
very useful in case of a sudden and large snowfall. All
custom features were designed and created by the artist/owners
