About 257 Sweets Portage Road

A rare, one-of-a-kind offering on coveted Gloucester Pool, where 280 feet of private shoreline and 2.5 wooded acres open onto the Trent-Severn Waterway - just one lock from the boundless water of Georgian Bay. Deep water greets the day at a large dock with two wet slips, a boat lift and a covered boat port, all-day sun warms the waterfront, and the well-treed grounds drift gently to the water's edge.Architecturally designed and approximately 2,800 square feet, the cedar home unfolds across nine generous rooms beneath nine- to ten-foot ceilings, rising to nearly twenty feet in the living room. Natural light pours through every room, heated floors warm the kitchen and solarium, solid pine doors and trim lend warmth throughout, and a stone-feature fireplace anchors the heart of the home. The main-floor primary suite - roughly 600 square feet - is a private retreat with a large ensuite, its own sauna, a double-sided fireplace and views to forest and lake. Two further bedrooms are set apart upstairs for privacy, framed by a distinctive ship-inspired railing and portal windows.Outdoors, a sweeping deck, hot tub, screened gazebo and irrigated gardens of mature trees and wildflowers carry the living space into the landscape. A detached, oversized two-storey garage offers games-room or guest-quarters potential, while four-season systems - propane forced-air heating, a Generac generator, and lake-drawn water with UV purification - make it genuinely turnkey.Private, year-round and just 100 miles from Toronto via Highway 400, this is a truly singular property: deep water, big-boat access and the open run to Georgian Bay, on one of the area's most sought-after locations.
