Just an hour from Toronto and a short ferry ride from the mainland, this extraordinary lakefront estate offers more than a home—it offers a way of life. Nestled on the southeast shore of Lake Simcoe and built with intention and heart, this custom-designed residence captures the essence of island living: effortless, elegant, and in tune with nature.

Enjoy over 100 feet of clean, rocky, hard-bottom shoreline and a 60-foot dock that invites you to wade in and swim, moor your boat, or simply soak in the calm, southeast-facing waters. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck at sunrise or relaxing in the hot tub beneath the stars, every moment here feels like a gift.

Unlike many island properties, this home offers reliable year-round access, making it a true four-season sanctuary—ideal for weekend escapes or full-time living.

Spanning over 3,800 sq. ft., the home is clad in cement siding and spray-foam insulated for energy efficiency throughout the seasons. Cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking lake views, while a cozy fireplace warms the main living area. The open-concept kitchen and dining space is made for gathering.

The home features 5 large bedrooms and 4 elegant bathrooms, including a serene main-floor primary suite with stunning lake views and a convenient ensuite. Above the garage, a 600 sq. ft. loft offers endless possibilities—a yoga studio, office, or guest hideaway.

Step outside to a two-tiered deck designed for outdoor living: dining for 16, morning yoga, sunset cocktails, and everything in between. A screened sun porch provides a bug-free escape in the summer months, while proximity to a private marina makes island life practical and easy.

For those seeking an effortless transition, the home can be sold fully turnkey, with thoughtfully curated furnishings included.

Georgina Islands

Georgina Island, known in Anishinaabemowin as Waaseyaagmiing, is the largest island on Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada. Situated approximately 100 km north of Toronto, it is home to the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, an Ojibwa (Anishinaabeg) community with deep historical roots in the region.

A Rich Cultural Heritage

The Chippewas of Georgina Island have inhabited the Lake Simcoe area long before European settlement. In the early 19th century, under the leadership of Chief Joseph Snake, the community settled on Georgina Island after relocating from Snake Island. The island, along with Snake and Fox Islands, was designated as a reserve in 1830

Today, the First Nation comprises three reserves: Georgina Island, Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation 33A, and the shared Chippewa Island reserve. The community is governed by a band council and maintains its own police and fire services

Natural Beauty and Recreation

Georgina Island is renowned for its pristine natural environment, featuring diverse wetlands, forests, and over 100 feet of clean, rocky shoreline. The island offers a tranquil setting for activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. A well-established marina and a network of trails provide opportunities for both relaxation and exploration

Accessibility

Access to Georgina Island is primarily by ferry during the warmer months and by airboat or snowmobile in winter when Lake Simcoe freezes over. The ferry service, operated by the First Nation, connects the island to the mainland near Virginia Beach, Ontario

Community and Services

The island community supports various services, including a primary school (Waabgon Gamig), health services, and a community radio station (CFGI-FM 92.3), which broadcasts local news and cultural programming

Georgina Island represents a unique blend of Indigenous heritage, natural beauty, and community resilience, offering a peaceful retreat just a short distance from the Greater Toronto Area.
