Award-Winning Architectural Masterpiece by Peter Bohlin in Georgian Bay! Experience the unique blend of modern luxury and nature in this extraordinary 3+2 bedroom, 4-bathroom cottage by renowned architect Peter Bohlin of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Nestled on over 2 acres of birch and evergreen forest along Georgian Bay, this 5800 square foot home, including a 2750 square foot finished walkout basement, is a testament to architectural brilliance and environmental harmony. The home features rich post-and-beam construction with imported California pines and extensive use of glass, erasing the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. Soft daylight floods the living areas, centered around a unique fireplace alcove with heavy timber walls that extend outside, connecting the space to its natural setting. A dramatic stone fireplace stack rises past the ceiling and continues skyward. The professional kitchen and open-concept design flow seamlessly into a dining area and spacious living room, perfect for entertaining. The finished walkout basement features ample windows along the lake-facing wall, allowing copious natural light into all living spaces. A spacious sauna room completes the space. A band of lush evergreens shields the structure from the 250 feet of prime Georgian Bay waterfront. This vegetation can be altered according to the owners preference if an unobstructed lake view is desired. A short path leads to the waterfront, featuring an elevated dock for leisure, entertainment, and water access. Enjoy expansive and breathtaking views of the Bay and Christian Island. Awarded the 2003 Residential Magazine Design Award, the home is constructed with unmatched attention to detail and quality that will last generations. This four-season retreat offers unparalleled privacy and relaxation, only a short 2-hour drive from Toronto. The secluded community of large waterfront properties adds to the exclusive and serene environment. (id:23309)
