At the doorstep of Ontario’s premier 4-season recreational playground, between Blue Mountain and the southern shores of Georgian Bay, you will find a unique oasis of tranquillity affectionately dubbed “Blue Mountain Serenity.”
The best way to get a feel for the layout and the lifestyle inherent in this home, as you prioritize your list of “must view” properties: Walk through via the video tour.
Highlights ♥
Positioned at the entrance to the prestigious Georgian Woodlands development with a distinctive mountain estate atmosphere, this home is situated on a unique premium 1-acre lot. Nestled within an enclave of forest, ferns, with a cascading stream bed and a seasonal view of the bay, Blue Mountain Serenity is a calm refuge for busy families.
The heart of the home is of handcrafted Scandinavian full-scribe cut log construction, flanked with newer timber frame additions. Scandinavian Full-Scribe describes smoothly-peeled logs which are custom-fitted to one another and notched where they overlap at the corners. This kind of handcrafted log construction is a method of precisely marking where to cut each individual wall log along the entire length and in the corners. A high degree of craftsmanship is required for success in this method and the resulting tight fit of naturally-shaped logs gives the home great aesthetic appeal.
The home offers 4,976 sq. ft. of masterfully finished living space including 8 bedrooms (with the 8th currently set up as a multi-functional media room and home office), 4 baths, a spacious custom kitchen and dining area perfect for any sized family.
Three distinct gathering areas include a grand-scale great room with a stately gas fireplace, a more intimate living room with a central woodburning fireplace served by a firewood elevator and on the main floor, a cozy reading nook opposite a wood stove.
The main floor suite could function as a self-contained apartment with two bedrooms, a renovated bathroom, its own new and modern kitchen, laundry and infrared sauna. Accessed via a private entrance or the main foyer, this lovely living space is perfect for in-laws and/or visiting guests.
The views from this enchanting home delight from every window but are particularly captivating from the balcony and wraparound decking. The back deck overlooks forested hillside, deep green and steep, with an enchanting natural cascade cut from eons of year-round flow from the Niagara Escarpment down to Georgian Bay. Whether you enjoy this view from the hot tub, with a book, with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, when you return indoors you’ll be remarkably more relaxed.
From the welcoming circular drive to the back deck overlooking the verdant hillside and water feature and all the incredible touches of luxury in between, Blue Mountain Serenity is in move-in condition, ready to welcome you home.
Lifestyle Features at Blue Mountain Serenity
Cyclists, joggers, cross country skiers and snowshoers are in paradise with the Georgian Trail just a hop & a skip from the driveway.

Golf enthusiasts have an excellent choice of nearby courses
Exterior Features of the Property
The longevity and strength of logs is evidenced in the well-built log structures of Norway and Russia, which are still standing proud and true after more than 800 years. Log homes are very efficient because of the thermal mass of the logs. A well-built log home is typically cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
This beautiful gem of a home is worthy of its setting and in turn, this unique setting is worthy of the home. The powerful synergy of the property, where setting and home add up to so much more, is indeed what makes it so special and also hard to describe, so here are the property features one by one:
Premium one-acre lot with 135′ of road frontage
Unique 1-acre lot (135’ x irregular)
Situated between the Niagara Escarpment and Georgian Bay, close enough to grab your paddleboard and be at Northwinds Beach within a few minutes’ walk
Set snugly in a verdant forest, with a circular driveaway approach and a welcome “away from it all” feeling at the back deck, with the serene stream and wind in the treetops forming the soundscape
A hillside of ferns and trees, with the bubbling happy creek cutting across the back and down the side of the property, forms an incredibly unique setting

Solar Panels Benefits
Among this home’s eco-friendly features are the solar panels on the roof, which bring in an average net income of approximately $8,000 per year.
The microFIT Program was launched in Ontario in 2009 as part of the provincial government’s efforts to increase renewable energy use in the province. The program provides homeowners and other eligible participants with the opportunity to develop a small or “micro” renewable electricity generation project (10 kilowatts (kW) or less) on their property. Under this program, participants were guaranteed a price over a 20-year term for all the electricity produced and delivered to the province’s electricity grid.
Guaranteed Contract: This is the coveted Version 1.5 contract which pays the maximum 80.2 cents per kWh produced and transferable from homeowner to homeowner. On Jan 1, 2015, Ontario’s microFIT generation rates (for new contracts) were reduced for the fourth time. “With the achievement of the annual procurement target in late 2017, the IESO is no longer accepting applications. Program information will remain available for microFIT participants.” So to be guaranteed 80.2 cents per kWh is a fantastic contract to be locked into.
Term:
The solar panels were activated in June 2011 and the contract is guaranteed for 20 years from the date of activation. Therefore approximately 12 years remain on the contract.
Contract end date is: May 2031

Located at 220 Gord Canning Drive, Unit #542, the Hemingway Suite is known as one of the most luxurious, spacious and immaculately maintained condos at the Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain. This enchanting 3 bedroom, 3 bath home or vacation retreat overlooks Mill Pond’s nature trail and provides stunning panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment, ski hills, village and, glimmering in the near distance, Lighthouse Point and Georgian Bay.
Beyond the full kitchen, breakfast bar and dining area, the elegant parabolic living room invites and inspires with gas fireplace and stunning floor-to-18-foot-ceiling windows.

Share unforgettable sunsets from the balcony or while enjoying world-class cuisine at Oliver and Bonicini’s Restaurant down in the lobby.
Adding to the cachet of Suite 542 is the fact that it has never been entered into the rental pool and in fact, it has been enjoyed for years by its owner Robin Sharma, renowned Canadian leadership expert and writer of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari series, The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO and many others. Sharma’s books on leadership and peak performance have sold over 15,000,000 copies in 75+ Countries. It’s also interesting to note that “Hemingway Suite” is one of only two units at the Westin Trillium House with 3 bedrooms.
Sharma initially chose the suite for its unbeatable convenience to ski school and four-season family fun and later as a perfect hideaway where he in part wrote his latest international bestseller “The 5 a.m. Club”.

You can sit on the front porch listening to the waves and looking over the trees and watch the birds go by, or go into the backyard oasis and just listen to the quiet. The house has brought tremendous joy.”

In mere minutes from your front door you are hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on the world-renowned trans-Canada Ganaraska Trail. This hidden gem winds through the fragile ancient parabolic sand dunes of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, providing great views of the Nottawasaga River below.

Ask any of the countless friendly neighbours who all seem so happy to live here and you might get more of an idea: it’s a lifestyle. It’s an intangible feeling of security and serenity. And it’s a place that just feels good to come home to.

P.S. Obviously we love rivers and can wax a bit poetic when writing about our very own…but many others have been much more eloquent!
Here are some favourite quotes about rivers:
There’s nothing… absolutely nothing… half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats. -Kenneth Grahme, The Wind in the Willows
Who hears the rippling of rivers will not utterly despair of anything.
-Henry David Thoreau
I choose to listen to the river for a while, thinking river thoughts, before joining the night and the stars.
– Edward Abbey
Sometimes luck is with you, and sometimes not, but the important thing is to take the dare. Those who climb mountains or raft rivers understand this.
– David Brower
What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
– Gerard Manley Hopkins 1844-1889
The care of rivers is not a question of rivers, but of the human heart.
– Tanako Shozo
Be like a rock in the middle of a river, let all of the water flow around and past you.
– Zen Saying
Rivers flow not past, but through us; tingling, vibrating, exciting every cell and fiber in our bodies, making them sing and glide.
– John Muir
Swift or smooth, broad as the Hudson or narrow enough to scrape your gunwales, every river is a world of its own, unique in pattern and personality. Each mile on a river will take you further from home than a hundred miles on a road.
– Bob Marshall
Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.
– A. A. Milne, Pooh’s Little Instruction Book
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.
– Hal Boyle
I have never seen a river that I could not love. Moving water…has a fascinating vitality. It has power and grace and associations. It has a thousand colors and a thousand shapes, yet it follows laws so definite that the tiniest streamlet is an exact replica of a great river. – Roderick Haig Brown

It is with a proud and humble heart that I share a bit of office news. The 2014 RE/MAX of Wasaga Beach Awards were just published.
To the local resident skimming the pages of the paper, I doubt it’s even cause for pause. For my amazing loyal clients, it may serve as a “post-consumer confidence” boost, providing coffee conversation and a bit of satisfaction for working with a REALTOR who has passion and energy for real estate clients and our local community. Our fearless leaders, my sister Marilyn Ruttan and nephew Jason Ruttan, shared the news in an email, saying:
“Congratulations to everyone who won an award and to everyone who works in our RE/MAX office as together with everyone’s help we ended the year with a 41% Market Share amongst the Wasaga Beach Brokerages.”
I love how our office managing to capture a whopping 41% of area home buyers and sellers only receives a brief nod…and we move on. We don’t rest on our laurels…because we’re simply too busy helping clients transition into their dream homes. I’m proud of our achievements as an office and am pleased to share them.
Marilyn also commented:
“Please note the donations update along the right side of the ad as well. Our totals continue to climb which is something we should all be very proud of. In last year’s award ad we announced that Bruce’s Motorcycle for Miracles had raised approx. $20,000 and now it is up to almost $80,000. Congratulations Bruce for showing us that you can raise huge amounts of money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, take several months off work and still be the #1 Individual Sales Representative in the office for 2 years in a row!”
When I try to convey the satisfaction and gratitude I feel for the support of every single person who impacted the 2013/2014 Motorcycle For Miracles fundraising tour, words truly fail me. To each and every kindhearted client, local businessperson, family member, Facebook friend, traveller and fellow RE/MAX associate along the way, thank you for your interest and support in this ongoing initiative!

“Working with Bruce and Mary Johnson actually made both selling our home and buying a new one an exciting and pleasant experience for my husband and myself! Trusting their advise and experience was the best thing we did!
Our home had been on the market prior to working with them with absolutely no interest. We soon learned that it was not our home that was unappealing, but the way it was marketed. After listing with Bruce, our home was sold in under two months for above asking price!
Bruce also went completely above and beyond to help us to purchase the home of our dreams! Although we know that they had many clients to work for while we were with them, they always made us feel as though we were their only concern: responding to questions via texts and e-mail IMMEDIATELY, no matter what day or time. We always felt as though we were important and that they were there for us.
Bruce and Mary are honest, trustworthy people who are AMAZING at what they do…making peoples dreams come true!!!
Thank you Bruce and Mary, we are forever grateful.”

Feedback is important in the real estate biz… Feedback helps home sellers direct their energy toward key improvements, helps home buyers hone in on properties that are more and more custom to their unique needs and wants and for Realtors, client feedback helps us know if we’re on track with our systems and skills. We don’t get specific when we ask for testimonials – in fact it’s as casual as “we would love it if you would write us a review of your experience with us while it’s fresh. It creates a history of our time together that we often look back on years later, kind of like a life journal of our work. We’d be honoured to have you both become part of our “History Wall.”
“I love what I do and count my lucky stars to be able to share this professional journey with my best friend and wife, Mary. We are privileged to enter a relationship with clients based on trust and a passionate pursuit of our common goal: the successful sale and purchase of a home, one of life’s greatest investments.” ~Bruce
What I find most appealing about the client reviews received this week is how they reflect back how our clients are experiencing us both as individuals AND as a team.
If you’re reading this, then you must have some interest in others’ experience working with us, and so we hope you’ll forgive us for gushing about our clients in turn. We have the best clients in the world! Funny, positive and GREAT writers. Here’s proof:

“To begin, my Mother’s condo at Sunset Point in Collingwood was up for sale with another agency, for over a year…. I decided to search for another agent. So when I put in my order of the kind of person I was looking for, the answer was “I know just the person, Mr. Bruce Johnson,” and the journey began.
Within 1 week the condo was staged by Mary and sold by Bruce…The best husband-wife team I ever met….They complement one another beautifully.
At this point the search was on for a home. We needed 2 homes in 1. I wanted to stay in the area both my mother and I had come to enjoy, on a bus route, near a hospital, and so on…. Well there’s a saying that goes ‘What’s for you, won’t go by you’….and as fate should have it we found the perfect home through Bruce. There were a few hair-raising moments during the closing, and once again Bruce handle things like a pro.
Bruce and Mary were so easy to like and admire. They are truly beautiful people and I would recommend them to everyone. This was my first experience with buying and selling of homes, and it was the last for my mother, who has had many experiences buying and selling….
Well, I’ll conclude with, if your lucky enough to have Mary and Bruce Johnson working for you…you’re in great hands.”
Liane and Sally Mullan
“We feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of working with Bruce to buy our forever home and to sell our starter home of fourteen plus years. The great part about working with Bruce to sell your house is that you get an added bonus; Mary. What a phenomenal team they are. Mary’s vision of how to paint, arrange your furniture and stage your home to attract a wide variety of potential buyers and Bruce’s expert knowledge of the real estate market and fantastic photography skills create “the whole package.” We listened to their recommendations (well, most of them,) made the changes to our house and it sold in less than a week. Our new home purchase with Bruce was equally enjoyable. He knew when to tell us that the house we saw on MLS was not the right one. He entertained our numerous visits to other houses; never pressuring us to place an offer. In fact, Bruce would often tell us to keep looking and the right house would come along. Well, it did and we love it! Bruce’s knowledge of Wasaga Beach stems from his lengthy residency here which allows him to help clients make informed decisions on the largest purchase of their lives; their home. If you’re buying a house make sure you use Bruce Johnson to ensure you buy a home, not just a house.
Bruce and Mary we would just like to thank you for all of your patience with us during this massive transition in our lives. Your knowledge and understanding will be cherished and remembered forever. Together you really are the whole package.”
Jeremy and Deena Osborn
“The easiest place to start is always the beginning and I will begin by asking that you forgive the length of this “review.” We first met Bruce last year when we interviewed 6 real estate agents to list our house for sale. Bruce definitely matched us the best but unfortunately friendship had to be honoured and we went with another agent. No need to get into that suffice to say the listing expired. When it did I called Bruce and told him our plans of what we wanted to do to get the house ready to re-list and that we would be calling him shortly. Three weeks later we called and asked that he bring all pertinent paper work to sign us up.
Once all was said and done we met Mary. We have all used the expression “There’s something about Mary” but never has it been more apt than when speaking about Mary Johnson – there is definitely something about this Mary. She projects such a quiet, calming aura that you have no choice but to just relax and feel good in her presence. Do not mistake this and think she is an easy sway to your ideas. Behind that quiet is a will of steel and such strength and belief in her vision for how your home should be “staged” but projected in such a way that you bend to her will without feeling like you have capitulated in any way. I have put “staged” in quotations because in no way when Mary is finished does your home look or feel like it is staged – it will feel very warm, welcoming and inviting while everything is in its place and looking like it has been there forever because that is where it belonged – even if it isn’t yours but a piece from the Johnson’s home. That feeling that Mary can create is true “magick“.
I have said that Bruce was a great match for us and I would like to clarify why. He has such an outgoing and positive personality, he is fun, likes to laugh and truly makes you feel welcome in all aspects. He matched us to a “T”. When you look past all the exterior qualities that is when you really notice that being a real estate agent is not only his job but his passion and you can tell easily that he truly enjoys what he does. Bruce also has a very creative side to him that is very evident in the pictures that he takes of your home before it is listed. I am not talking about a couple pictures but a complete photo shoot and over 50 photos. As a seller you really don’t appreciate that but as a buyer you do but I will get into that more in the next chapter. Thanks to Bruce’s photos, Mary’s creativity and yes our sweat, our home sold conditionally in 10 hours and was sold firm in just 4 days. If that is not a testament I don’t know what would be.
As a buyer things are a little different and you notice a lot of little things that are really very important. We spent a lot of time on Realtor.ca looking for our next home. Most listings had maybe 5 or 6 pictures if we were lucky and not very good ones at that. I found that to be very frustrating and “Where are the pictures of the kitchen and bathrooms?” became a mantra over the next few weeks. Bruce’s patience during our “let’s go see this one” stage was unlimited. His composure as well as his (no polite way to say this) cajones when dealing with a potential private sale were worthy of the standing “O”. Yes we did finally find our next home and are looking forward to moving in July.
This is not the end as we know we will be selling and buying a few more houses but I do know that when all is said and done it will end with us living “happily ever after” and yes Bruce and Mary will be with us for every one of them. True magick is found in ones enjoyment of their life in all aspects and Bruce and Mary are truly a magickal team.”

“Making the transition to a new home is akin to crossing a bridge. Sometimes it is a bridge to the unknown; sometimes even the path to the bridge requires a guide and confidante.” ~Mary Johnson
Lake Huron levels have set new record lows, say officials.
Wasaga Beach and Collingwood residents
are interested in current and future Georgian Bay water levels for many reasons so we thought we’d post a bit of background information (sourced directly with thanks to www.cbc.ca via The Current podcast from last Friday) to explain why water levels are such an important issue to all of us.
The Great Lakes hold 20 per cent of the world’s fresh water. And that percentage is shrinking, threatening fish stocks and wetlands, putting shipping lanes at risk and prompting talk of a crisis in a water system that defines a region and sustains a multi-trillion-dollar economy. There have been many media alarms sounding about this issue, especially since January with interesting articles like this one.
But the proposed solutions pit communities against each other. They also raise concerns about whether we can engineer our way out of a problem many people think is largely of our own making.
Water levels are down all over the Great Lakes and they have been for more than a decade. The Great Lakes have seen water levels ebb and flow before. But many people think what’s happening now is different, that it’s being driven by climate change and other human interventions not nature taking its course. It’s exceptionally bad on Lake Huron, the lake Georgian Bay is attached to.
The red around the Wasaga Beach and Collingwood area of Georgian Bay shows how extremely stressed our area is compared to the rest of the Lake Huron and other Great Lakes areas.
Over the years, various parts of the Great Lakes have been dredged to build harbours and shipping channels. And those interventions seem to have knocked the Great Lakes system out of balance.
Here’s why.
The water in Georgian Bay runs to the southernmost tip of Lake Huron and drains into the St. Clair River. That’s been happening for as long as the Great Lakes have been around about 10,000 years. But about 50 years ago, the St. Clair River was dredged to improve shipping channels. And since then, the water has been draining from Lake Huron a lot faster… apparently too fast.
Roger Gauthier — a retired hydrologist with the US Army Corp of Engineers — explains it:
“If you increase the channel capacity in the St. Clair river, you have an outlet that is essentially leaking … if I can use that term … what you end up doing is you lower Michigan, Huron and Superior. The lakes are out of bounds.”
So, how do you slow down a river?
With underwater speed bumps.
“The original designs were actually done in 1965. You would put in a series of underwater structures, maybe 20-25 of those to essentially act as speed bumps on the bottom of the river that would slow the flow of the water.”
Studies from the US Army Corp of Engineers show those speed bumps would slow the river enough to significantly increase water levels all the way up in Lake Huron. As Roger Gauthier said, the idea has been around for a long time.
This graphic shows how dredging of the St Clair river would obviously have profound effects on Georgian Bay water level maintenance.
But it has been given new life, thanks to the International Joint Commission. It manages the joint interests of Canada and the United States in the Great Lakes. And the Commission is recommending both governments look into putting some kind of structures in the St. Clair River.

is perfectly located for beach enjoyment and it also has the kind of character and floor plan that translate into great investment potential.
Peace, privacy and natural beauty are in great supply without giving up on the convenience of being very close to shopping and restaurants. With the 1,579 sq feet fully optimized to feature three bedrooms and two family rooms your clan will have plenty of room to spread its wings.
Improvements to the property include new exterior doors, newer windows and a modern kitchen. Two wood-burning fireplaces make for cozy winter evenings.
The kitchen truly is the heart and hub of this home!
The lot is huge, measuring 100` x 125` and three walkouts open onto a large deck for entertaining. Recently reduced price reflects the need for new shingles.
Zoom in on the map below, get directions, see what’s close: the Stonebridge shopping centre with all of its shops and restaurants, Tim Horton’s and Cold Stone Creamery, Foodland, Birchview Elementary School, and of course Wasaga’s Main Street leading to the beautiful boardwalks and shops of Wasaga Beach’s Main Beach Area One…all within walking or easy cycling distance from your door. The Wasaga Stars Arena is also very close and this is a great location for anyone employed in the east end of Wasaga Beach or Elmvale, or looking for an easier commute to Angus, CFB Borden and Barrie.
Located in the highly sought-after Wasaga Sands Estates area of west-end Wasaga Beach, this stunning 5 bedroom home will surely top your list.
Within its custom finished, smartly styled and impeccably maintained 2,870 square feet are 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an open flow between great room and kitchen with island and breakfast nook garden doors opening out to the grand 86’ x 263’ lot. The large south-facing deck offers a sunny outlook onto fields, trees and sky. Whether you’re a fan of entertaining or privacy or both, this home offers up something to fall in love with.
The most impressive features of this Maple Drive marvel are found in the spaciousness of the rooms and storage and the quality of the custom countertops and light fixtures. Simply stated, if you like what you see in the photos, you will be even more inspired in person.
A casually elegant custom kitchen is the heart of this home, and the appliances and layout will sing to your soul regardless of cooking style
What you can only appreciate to the extent that your screen does justice to the modern, serene colour palette, are features such as the slate tile floor in the foyer, the kitchen’s stainless steel farm-front undermount sink surrounded by HanStone Quartz countertops and the huge kitchen island with plenty of room for seating and gathering. The photos clearly point out the custom California shutters, and how the 9 foot ceilings are graced with upgraded light fixtures in every room.
Yes the photos may lead to your nod of approval to the master bedroom, noting that at 18′ 6” x 15′ it’s fit for a King sized bed and the King AND Queen’s furnishings, with its walk-in closet plus a second large closet. Finished for timeless enjoyment, the ensuite master bath also shines with handsome HanStone Quartz, a material that is renowned for its incredible depth and clarity, for its ability to resist heat and staining, and cleaning up easily with a mild soap and water.
It may not be so obvious in the slideshow, however, that the main floor and upstairs bathroom countertops are decked out in Corian solid surface counters and sinks, another timeless touch to offer years and years of beautiful service. Since Corian is nonporous, stains don’t have a chance to sink in and it tends to resist mold, mildew and bacteria.
And pictures simply can’t show the extent to which this home offers all the storage space you need and more. From the added features such as pull-outs in the cabinets and spacious pot drawers to the 3-car garage and its loft for extra storage, any family would be hard-pressed to run out of space here. The inside entry from the garage leads to the most restful, organized laundry room imaginable. And at the back of the 3rd garage bay is a door that opens onto a large cement pad for all your recreational toy storage needs. This is a young, fun, happy home suited to all ages and stages of living and growing.
In addition, a clean, wide open basement awaits your finishing choices or as a perfect winter training area for your Olympic hopefuls. The 9-foot ceilings, tons of natural light and bathroom rough-in will make it a breeze to design.
Then, zoom in on the map below, get directions, see what’s not far from this superbly located jumping off point for commuters heading out to Stayner, Barrie, CFB Borden and beyond (1.5 hours to the GTA).

The stats are in and have been through my graphical mill to churn out the answer to that ubiquitous question: How’s the Market?
To bring you an easily-understood analysis of what’s happening in the ever-changing local real estate world, I process the numerical data provided by the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board and provide formulas and explanations to assist in your important decisions.
Have you ever asked a Realtor “How’s the market?” and been told nothing much more than “Great”? That Realtor most likely wanted you to get the impression that he or she was doing well, in demand, and thus a “great” choice in a Realtor.
In 15+ years of real estate sales in the area, I’ve learned that what you want to know has nothing to do with how that Realtor is personally doing in business.
The right answer to the “How’s the Market” question depends not only on whether you are thinking of selling or buying but also on where exactly you live in town.
If you are considering a move, I offer a free comparativemarket analysis showing you what homes are for sale now, what homes have sold recently and how long homes are taking to sell in your neighbourhood. When you get that, you can feel secure in the knowledge that you have the most accurate information that will tell you right away how YOUR market is and whether relocating is in your best interests, all things considered.
