Description
A shelter. A balcony in the woods. A bridge, and a house. This Muskoka retreat is a bridge over a seasonal ravine, thoughtfully placed on a 5.3 acre private, wooded lot. The structure faces the expanse of Mary Lake, enjoying 310' of beached waterfront. A 38 meter long gesture that celebrates the experience of place and rests as a counterpoint to the scale of the landscape. The inverted V-shaped structure mirrors the ravine's form and produces a sense of lightness, allowing the exterior to pass through the house. The four bedrooms and two washrooms are grounded by massive walkout glazing, constantly communicating with the changing slope of the ravine and nature's grade. Connecting in the middle, 6 meters over the ravine, you are transported to the tree canopy. In any season, the fire is lit and the stage is set, and you are nature's audience, comfortable and surrounded by modern minimalism. It's not what you expect and everything you need.
Extras: 40' Of Gliding doors opening to balcony. New Stuv 360 Fireplace. Seller undertakes to complete some outstanding work to the buyer's tastes (conditions apply).
