5 Luxury Canadian Homes with Lake, Ocean, and Heritage Charm

Along the shores of Pigeon Lake, Port 32 Bobcaygeon pairs executive living with the ease of an established adult community known for beautiful landscaping and walkable access to community facilities, events, and charming downtown Bobcaygeon. At 19 Marina Drive, an open-concept plan is finished top to bottom and thoughtfully decorated by an interior designer. Cathedral ceilings lift the living room, flowing into an eat-in kitchen detailed with newly installed upgraded light fixtures, pot lights, and a striking backsplash. A fresh coat of paint refreshes most of the interior, while shiplap in the lower family room sets the scene for movie nights. Dinners can unfold in the fully screened sunroom, which opens to a BBQ deck, or in the dining room beside a butler’s pantry with generous storage. Days here end naturally at the clubhouse—tennis, pickleball, and pool included.
