Enjoy life by the lake

‘An amazing, charming town.”

That’s how Christine Brennan describes Midland. An hour and half north of Toronto, on Georgian Bay, it’s also the location of Hanson Development Group’s master- planned waterfront community, The Seasons on Little Lake.

“You’ve got great vistas, easy access to the water,” says Brennan, of Windstone Real Estate, exclusive broker for the site. And that’s not all Midland has, she adds. Take a walk with us:

50 Steps: Right across the street from the site’s first phase, a new retail court will have “a very niche feel,” Brennan says, with a bakery, café and similar- style retailers. A members’ club will feature pools and other facilities, while a boardwalk will lead to Little Lake, a springfed passive lake. Residents can kayak or canoe across to the town’s Little Lake Park for a picnic, or stay closer to home instead. “There will be accessible space for all of the homeowners to enjoy,” Brennan adds, with a community garden and year- round amphitheatre planned.

250 Steps: Existing Tim Hortons, McDonald’s, Home Depot and Walmart outlets are all just a short walk from the site along Highway 12.

1,000 Steps: Walk north along Midland’s King Street and you’ll get to the town’s main drag, a quaint downtown strip featuring “charming little storefronts with retail shops, clothing, gourmet markets, more upscale retailers,” Brennan says.

Homes at The Seasons on Little Lake range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and are priced from the low $ 300,000s. The sales office is located at 16831 Hwy. 12, Midland. Call 705- 526-2700 or visit seasonslittlelake.com.
