Welcome to the Homestead on the Riverbend. Set on 4 private, storybook acres along the Nottawasaga River, this custom-built bungaloft offers a rare kind of living-where quiet luxury meets the rhythm of the land. Wake to soft light pouring through oversized windows, coffee in hand as the river moves gently beyond your view. Watch horses graze in neighbouring paddocks. Spend evenings under the stars, tucked into the stillness that only a property like this can offer. This is a home designed to feel grounded, effortless, and deeply connected to its surroundings. With over 4,000 sq ft of finished living space, there's room here for both gathering and retreat. The main floor primary suite offers a spa-like escape, while additional bedrooms across the upper and lower levels provide space for family, guests, or multi-generational living. At the heart of the home, a thoughtfully designed kitchen with a generous island and walk-in pantry opens to a covered porch-perfect for slow mornings, summer dinners, or evenings in the hot tub overlooking the landscape. Beyond the home, the lifestyle unfolds. Walk your own forested trails. Spend quiet moments along the river's edge. Practicality meets intention with owned solar panels and net metering, offering energy efficiency without compromise, while the Forest Tax Incentive Program helps reduce property taxes. A separate 1,200 sq ft garage/workshop with a 700 sq ft loft above creates space for hobbies, storage, or future possibilities like converting it to a Auxiliary Dwelling. All of this-just 12 minutes to Barrie or Alliston, with Starlink internet keeping you connected when you need it. This is more than a home. It's a slower pace, a deeper breath, and a place to truly live.
