Baywinds is a masterfully crafted 7.14-acre promontory estate that epitomizes gracious Georgian Bay living. In collaboration with the preeminent timber-frame builder Normerica, the owners designed a sanctuary that prioritizes four core principles: maximizing spectacular water views, fluid indoor-outdoor integration, total privacy, and the preservation of traditional cottage character. Positioned on the highest point of the land, the property captures full-day sun and serves as a premier vantage point for the region’s iconic westward sunsets.
Property Details
The estate features a main timber-frame cottage and a self-contained guest cottage, both reflecting the warmth of wood-and-glass construction.
Main Cottage: Approached via a covered breezeway, the layout separates the social heart of the home from the sleeping quarters. The center of the residence is a stunning 800-square-foot octagonal great room with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Living Space: An open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is anchored by a massive granite stone fireplace. French door walkouts lead to expansive decks shaded by deep roof overhangs, perfect for all-weather enjoyment.
Master Wing: A covered patio leads to a private master suite featuring a large bedroom, a four-piece ensuite, and a refreshing outdoor shower.
Guest Cottage: The 420-square-foot secondary residence provides complete comfort with a bedroom/sitting room, kitchenette, three-piece bath, and a private covered porch.
Land and Water
The 7.14-acre promontory is a natural playground featuring landscaped pocket gardens and groomed trails that traverse the rugged granite terrain. The waterfront is expertly equipped for the Georgian Bay lifestyle, headlined by a deep-water harbor and an L-shaped dock capable of accommodating up to five boats. Additional shoreline amenities include a dedicated swimming dock, a convenient boat ramp, and a classic waterside sauna for post-swim relaxation.
Access and Utilities
Baywinds offers a rare balance of ultimate privacy and community proximity. While the property feels like a world unto itself, it is just a short boat ride or overland walk from the local Sans Souci marina, children’s camp, pickleball and tennis courts, and the neighborhood restaurant. On-site logistics are supported by an ATV for transporting gear and supplies across the property's trails.
Lifestyle and Value
The Baywinds lifestyle is defined by its connection to the water and the surrounding archipelago. Its strategic location provides easy access to noted picnic destinations like the Western and Umbrella Islands, while the home’s south/west orientation ensures every evening concludes with a panoramic sunset. As a custom Normerica build on a substantial 7-acre lot, this property represents a high-value opportunity to own a turnkey, legacy-quality compound in the heart of Sans Souci.
