280 Silver Birch Dr

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.

This exceptional estate offers an extraordinarily rare combination: over 7,000 sq ft of living space on 42 acres of absolute privacy, with a coveted sandy beach and private boat dock on Georgian Bay. Properties of this size, with ownership rights to clear blue waters and sandy shores, are nearly impossible to find in Tiny Township. Located just two hours from Toronto, this custom-built craftsman home is perfect for those seeking a private waterfront retreat. Designed for both entertaining and relaxation, the home features formal living and dining rooms alongside a spacious kitchen and family room at its core. The primary suite is a private escape with a 5-piece ensuite, double walk-in closets, and access to the deck overlooking the water. The walk-out lower level is built for fun and comfort, with 4 additional bedrooms, a theatre room, and a large rec/games room complete with a full bar. An upper-level in-law suite provides space for guests or multi-generational living, and the property also includes a 3-car garage and a separate 1,500 sq ft detached shop for ample storage of vehicles, boats, and recreational equipment. The estate comes fully equipped with a private dock, allowing direct access to the bay for boating and water activities. With high-speed fibre internet, natural gas, and proximity to nearby golf courses, trails, and ski resorts, this is a rare opportunity to own a large, private waterfront property in one of the most desirable locations on Georgian Bay.
