Rural Essa, Essa
Welcome to 16 Highland Drive in the sought-after Horseshoe Highlands of Oro-Medonte. This is a rare opportunity on the Highland Drive ridge, one of just nine properties with clear, panoramic views across Horseshoe Valley and Georgian Bay to Meaford-approximately 80 kilometres. Only one other of these view properties has come to market in the past five years. Fully renovated to showcase the spectacular setting, this exceptional walkout bungalow offers seamless open-concept living designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The home features four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a bright, airy layout throughout. The main level is finished with rich hardwood floors and includes a dedicated, spacious home office-ideal for remote work in a peaceful setting. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with granite countertops, a large island for gathering, and generous prep space for hosting family and friends. The main floor principal suite enjoys sweeping views, an exceptionally spacious ensuite, and a large walk-in closet. The lower level is as light-filled as the main floor, thanks to glass walkout doors leading to the rear yard. Here you'll find additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with tub and shower, and a small service area that adds flexibility for entertaining or multi-generational living. Set in the heart of Horseshoe Valley, the home offers convenient access to outdoor recreation, including skiing, hiking, biking trails, golf, and the local resort and spa. The community is approximately 15 minutes to Barrie and about one hour to Toronto Pearson International Airport. Nearby amenities include two ski areas within two kilometers, 43 kilometers of cross-country and mountain bike trails, and a new elementary school and community centre just one kilometer away. Opportunities like this are few and far between on this coveted ridge. Experience comfort, space, and exceptional views in one remarkable home.
