Description of our house
[
 ]
Our home is located in the Beaver Valley, Ontario, a beautiful country setting in the four-season resort area of The Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains is 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto airport and is a great base for exploring southern Ontario. Nearby is Georgian Bay, scenic walks, hiking trails, cycling, beaches, sailing destinations and a range of golf courses to suit every skill level. The house is set on 80 acres of gorgeous countryside, with a large swimming pond in full view of the wrap-around verandah. We are ten minutes by car from one of the Great Lakes - the largest body of freshwater in the world. The main floor has a large country kitchen, spacious sunroom and entry, living room with satellite television, spacious bathroom and a bedroom with a queen size bed. Upstairs there are four sleeping areas, two bedrooms with queen size beds, one bedroom with a double bed and a master bedroom with a king size bed. The master bedroom has a LCD television. There is a laundry room and second 3 piece bathroom upstairs. We spend most of our time on the verandah during the summer as it is a great place to watch people swimming in the pond, playing croquet, eating meals outdoors, or enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sunset. There is wireless internet in the house.

Our home is on 80 acres of rolling countryside, situated in the middle of one of the most beautiful recreational areas in the province - hiking and bicycle trails, sandy beaches, and numerous golf courses abound. My brother-in-law from Vancouver thinks that the cycling here is the best he has found anywhere (and we have bicycles available for you to use). Besides recreation, the area is well known as an artistic community with many galleries, studios and art tours. Golfing is a big activity here and there are three championship golf courses, as well as numerous golf courses that enjoy a more leisurely pace. September is a beautiful time here, with the harvest festivals, studio tours and the buzz of the apple picking. A great time to taste Ontario's fresh produce. There are 20 apple trees on the property and you are welcome to enjoy the fruit.
