About this home

Inside the home

This custom A-frame sits on over 137 acres of mixed forest and open land in the Inland Lakes area, about as private as it gets on the Northern Bruce Peninsula. The main house is well-built and finished to a high standard: pine cathedral ceilings, wide-plank hardwood throughout, a wood-burning fireplace, and a kitchen with live-edge counters and a large island. The property functions as a small farm and retreat operation today — horse and alpaca paddocks, a 24x32 barn with water and hydro, a detached double garage with a heated loft, and a separate insulated bunkie with its own wood stove. Georgian Bay is visible on the horizon from the aerial shots but the property itself is inland, not waterfront. The bold paint palette in the bedrooms and bathrooms is a matter of taste. The bones and build quality are solid throughout.

  • Custom A-frame design with full-height glazing and pine cathedral ceilings throughout
  • Live-edge countertops and island with dark custom cabinetry
  • Open-concept main floor with wood-burning fireplace insert
  • En-suite with freestanding soaker tub and heated towel racks
  • Detached double garage with heated loft above and EV charger
  • Insulated bunkie with wood stove — functional guest or rental accommodation
  • Barn with water and hydro, alpaca/horse paddocks already in place
  • Flagstone fire pit patio and hot tub
