CUSTOM BUILT SCANDINAVIAN-INSPIRED LONGHOUSE

Set on approximately 5.74 acres, featuring south-facing sweeping views, a creek, mature forest, and an extra-large heated garage/workshop—all just minutes to Thornbury. This is not a typical new-build home; it was designed with exceptional care and attention to detail. The current owners are highly experienced professional builders who built this home for their family. It was thoughtfully designed with an eye toward architecture, the environment, our climate, long-term scalability, and of course, comfort. The home was built off site in an indoor controlled environment and installed on a super-insulated foundation with spray-foamed walls and roof, along with commercial-grade rubber membrane roofing.

The home features 10-foot ceilings, picture-perfect south-facing views from every room, and an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and family hub. Walnut built-ins add warmth and texture, while the kitchen offers induction cooking, a full-height fridge and freezer, stainless steel appliances, and a large island designed for everyday living and entertaining. Multiple flex rooms provide options for bedrooms, a home office, media room or gym. The home currently features four bedrooms, a den, two full baths, main-floor laundry and a large entryway with a seating area and built-in closets to suit your family’s needs.

Scalability was a key consideration in the design. The home was built so that interior walls and room sizes can be easily adjusted, as there are no internal support beams to restrict room adjustments. Bathrooms can be expanded or added with ease due to the open crawl space below.

Another defining feature of the home is its energy efficiency. In-floor radiant heating serves both the house and the detached shop, with seller-reported annual heating costs that are remarkably low (bills and operating costs available upon request), passive solar design, high-performance windows, an HRV system, and a deep covered porch contribute to year-round comfort.

The 2,000+ sq. ft. detached, insulated & heated shop with high ceilings and multiple garage doors, offers outstanding versatility. It is ideal for hobbies, storage, fitness, or additional living space. Clear-span construction and engineered truss design provide flexibility, including the potential for interior reconfiguration or future expansion.

Outdoor enjoyment is central to this property, with an expansive south-facing deck spanning the length of the home and offering shelter from the sun. Stepping off the deck, there is ample space for outdoor entertaining, a firepit, a pool, or simply enjoying the view.

A rare combination of thoughtful design, energy performance and adaptable rural living, set in a peaceful natural setting near Thornbury, a short drive to Collingwood and the waters of Georgian Bay. This home is a true gem with proximity to all the major amenities of Thornbury, Meaford and Collingwood, as well as a short drive to the waters of Georgian Bay, public and private ski clubs and endless outdoor trails.
