Grandview on Georgian Bay Home with Hot Tub
Welcome to Grandview! Our custom-built waterfront home nestled on the picturesque shores of Georgian Bay in Meaford, offering a luxurious retreat for families and groups seeking an unforgettable waterfront experience. Located in the heart of the rolling hills and apple orchards of Meaford, this home is a gateway to a variety of year-round activities and scenic wonders. The Beaver Valley, Blue Mountain ski hills, and the relaxing Scandinave Spa are all just a short 25-minute drive away.
The Space:
This spacious 4,000+ sqft cottage is a haven for relaxation and recreation. With beautiful vistas and easy access to a wide range of activities, it's the perfect getaway for all seasons. Here, you're just a short walk away from charming restaurants, boutique shops, private clubs, the Marina, and scenic parks.
Embrace the changing seasons with ease. In the winter, grab your snowshoes and cross-country skis for an adventure on the nearby Georgian Trail leading to Collingwood. This high-end waterfront home boasts numerous amenities and breathtaking views from the outside and inside.
The cottage features a lovely kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Enjoy your morning coffee on the wrap-around deck with panoramic water views. The dining area provides the perfect setting for meals with a view. You’ll find cookware, bakeware, cutlery, utensils, and BBQ tools to use during your stay. All you need to bring is your food, spices, and coffee!
Living Spaces:
The main floor is home to the meticulously decorated great room, ideal for catching up after a day of adventure or relaxing by the fire as you unwind. It opens up to the wrap-around deck, offering water views or entertainment on the TV. Downstairs, the media room awaits with a sizable L-shaped couch, a large TV, and surround sound for your enjoyment.
Bedrooms:
On the main floor, you'll find a spacious, beautifully decorated bedroom with an in-suite TV, just steps away from a 4-piece bathroom. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms and two four-piece bathrooms, both with direct water views to wake up to. There is a third bedroom upstairs that has been adapted to a dedicated work from home space with large desk and chair and bright sun from the large windows overlooking the street. The primary bedroom boasts a balcony with a small patio, a 4-piece ensuite with a jetted soaker tub, and a gas fireplace. In the basement, we have two day beds near the games room which is ideal for children.
Outdoor Entertaining:
Outdoors, you can soak in the hot tub, take a refreshing dip in the lake, gather around the fire pit, or enjoy the large wrap-around deck with an outdoor seating area and BBQ - a perfect setup for entertaining your group.
Local Activities:
Explore the four-season activities Meaford has to offer, with a gorgeous harbour and a nearby boat launch. Sailing lessons are available for kids, just a 5-minute drive or an easy walk from the cottage. The cottage is conveniently located just 20 minutes from many of the private ski hills and only 25 minutes from Blue Mountain.
In Summer, enjoy swimming or sunbathing on the beautiful dock. In the evening, relax on the dock chairs and take in the gorgeous Georgian Bay sunsets. If you bring your kayaks or paddleboards, there is easy water access off the pebble beach or from the dock.
In the fall, indulge in hiking and biking adventures, or take a stroll on the Trout Hollow Trail minutes from the Cottage, offering scenic river views. Along the way, discover beautiful vistas, wineries, and cideries. For dining and leisure, you're only minutes away from restaurants, coffee shops, and waterfront parks, all within walking distance.
Other things to note:
*Please note that the dock and deck are high above the water, so use them with caution. It's recommended for young children or inexperienced swimmers to always wear a lifejacket and be supervised around the water. Guests should bring their own life jackets and towels.
*Please note when the hot tub is not in use, the cover must remain closed to avoid excessive evaporation/damage to the hot tub.
*We welcome small, well-trained, hypoallergenic dogs in the unit. Please inform us before booking.
*This home is situated in a quiet, residential neighbourhood, making it ideal for families, group retreats, and corporate getaways. We ask that you please keep the volume at a reasonable level, especially after 9 pm, especially if you have music playing outside :)
