Along the water’s edge on sought-after Clear Lake, this classic lake house pairs panoramic views with a shoreline designed for true summer living. Roughly 200 feet of pristine, hard-bottom waterfront feels deep, clean, and ready for swimming, boating, and recreation, while a sandy play area adds a thoughtful spot for children. Mature landscaping frames the setting, with a winding path and stone stairways leading down to the lake. Inside, the great room centers on vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace, complemented by rich wood flooring, custom millwork, and natural stone finishes throughout. The layout includes 4+ bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a library, games room, and a spacious lower-level recreation room with wet bar, plus an upper loft used as a playroom and sitting area. Six walkouts keep the lakeside always within reach. A self-contained four-season guest house, boathouse with finished space above, newer docks, lifts, and a lakeside patio set the scene for unhurried days by the water.

On Broadmoor Avenue in Mineola, this custom estate is designed with multigenerational living in mind, balancing privacy with shared, beautifully appointed gathering spaces. Luxurious finishes set a refined tone throughout, while multiple kitchens support everything from busy weekday routines to large-scale hosting. The main-floor primary suite adds everyday ease, creating a layout that can adapt gracefully over time. For entertaining, the home offers elegant spaces that feel purposeful rather than formal, ready for celebrations, quiet evenings, or extended family weekends under one roof. Downstairs, a finished lower level expands the possibilities—ideal for recreation, relaxed lounging, or flexible household needs. It’s a residence conceived for living together, comfortably, with room for everyone to settle in and stay awhile.

Set on 52 acres (21.14 ha) in North Dumfries, minutes from Cambridge, this offering is framed as a rare development opportunity with quick access to Highways 401 and 403 and the broader Waterloo Region. The lands are presented with a conceptual draft plan for an executive estate enclave: eighteen one-acre-plus single-detached lots on a private road, structured as a vacant land condominium, along with two frontage lots and an existing residence—twenty-one residential units in total. A naturalized western edge, shaped by a regulated watercourse and conservation limits, brings a sense of boundary and stewardship, while the developable envelope is concentrated toward the Studiman Road frontage. With Township pre-consultation complete and Official Plan and Zoning applications underway, the groundwork is already in motion for a controlled-entry community defined by intention and long-term continuity.
