A Sanctuary Above Creemore.
Just minutes from the village, and 75 minutres from Pearson, this rare 25-acre estate blends natural beauty, privacy, and convenience. Perched 200m above Creemore with sweeping Escarpment and Georgian Bay views, every window frames the remarkable landscape that defines this sought-after area. Despite its secluded feel, the property is only five minutes to town, 25 minutes to Collingwood, and within easy reach of Mad River Golf, Devils Glen and Mansfield ski clubs, the Bruce Trail, and The Blue Mountains.
The 3,069 sq ft home balances historic character with thoughtful additions. The main level is anchored by a chef’s kitchen with oversized island, abundant counter space, and walkout to the back deck overlooking the stream and gardens. The welcoming kitchen flows naturally into the dining room and on to the family room, where a wood-burning insert adds cozy ambience and generous windows frame the views. Two bedrooms and a full bath are also on this level, along with a pantry, mudroom, and laundry for everyday ease.
Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a serene retreat with ensuite bath and an adjacent office showcasing spectacular elevated views—an inspiring perch for creativity, work or reflection. Hardwood, reclaimed pine, and wool broadloom flooring add warmth and character throughout. A finished lower level provides bonus flexibility, currently set up as a small business but easily reimagined as recreation or guest space.
The possibilities expand even further with the property’s spacious barn. Behind the authentic patina of pine board and batten you’ll find modern construction, a concrete main floor, full hydro service and dedicated water supply, and a newly-insulated, heated second storey filled with light from architectural windows. From woodworking shop to artist’s retreat, this space is ready to make your vision of perfect country living come true.
Elsewhere, the land is alive with possibility: rolling countryside, mature trees, beautiful gardens, a small vineyard, stream and pond, and spaces for weddings, creative pursuits, or simply soaking in the view. Besides the barn, the property features a pergola, gazebo, raised vegetable garden beds, and horse enclosure. A Generac standby generator, two wells, 200-amp service, and Bell 5G internet ensure modern comfort and reliable connectivity.
Properties with panoramic views, true privacy, and close distance to Creemore rarely come to market. Add in the romance and charm of this setting—where every season feels like a painting—and the result is a home that is as enchanting as it is unique. A true sanctuary, just 90 minutes from the city.
