Abusy executive who loves to entertain and who appreciates the finest in life, and a large extended family who wants to be within walking distance of ski hills, are among the potential buyers of this gorgeous home, says l i sting agent Sherry Rioux of Clairwood Real Estate Corporation, who has co- listed the property with Emma Baker.

One of the best features — “there are too many to list — would have to be the quality of the build … and the spectacular views of the ski hills,” Rioux says. “This is a solid home, built to the highest standards.”

The contemporary style is becoming more popular in ski country. “We are seeing a trend toward Frank Lloyd Wright designs, with clean contemporary lines. Crafts- man- style homes are still popular, but it appears that many new builds in the area are trending towards a contemporary design,” she says.

The 9,845-square-foot residence features a floating staircase with glass panels and stainless steel rails, expansive windows, radiant heated floors and a spacious two- storey foyer. Each of the bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom.

Custom light fixtures are f eatured t hroughout t he home. The main floor includes a mud room and an office.

There is a dream Italian kitchen “that any chef would love to work in and a spacious main- floor fitness room,” she says. The kitchen has high- end appliances and a waterfall stone countertop on the island. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the great room and dining area offer ski hill views.

The finished lower level has eight-ft.-high ceilings and includes a recreation room, a media room and three bedrooms.

The home was built by a master craftsman and took approximately two years to complete, “due to the creative design and importing of materials,” she says.

The 141x324- ft. property is in the centre of ski country. “It’s walking distance to Craigleith Ski Club and minutes from many other private and public ski and golf courses in the area,” Rioux says. “Collingwood and The Blue Mountains is a four- season resort. We have buyers yearround because we have the best ski facilities in the province. For a family who wishes to partake in winter activities, this is the time to buy.”
