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
