A place to forget about screens

A traditional Georgian Bay home that embraces its historic traditions and renowned rugged surroundings, this custom house seems to hark back to the days before the advent of electronic media, says listing agent Roger Kolbuc.

Built in 2001, the A-frame home has a large open kitchen/ dining area that invites family to gather together, forgo screen time and curl up in comfy leather chairs to engage in faceto-face conversation, he says.

Floor-to-cathedral-ceiling windows offer a south view. Five large bedrooms can accommodate family and overnight guests with ease.

“For those who wish to bask in the glory of this Georgian Bay landscape from a distance, generous lakeside decking affords breathtaking vistas from any vantage point,” Kolbuc says. The more adventurous can enjoy swimming in pristine waters. The 274 feet of shoreline includes several shallow entry points.

The Nantucket-style dock juts into blue waters, perfect for both bass masters and the young-at-heart cannonballers, he says. With almost two acres of land, no one will feel crowded at this natural and private retreat.
