Currently, Alair Homes Collingwood is engaged in a Custom Home Build that sits on a rise overlooking the town of Collingwood. The interesting thing about this particular “View” is that it overlooks the Blue Mountain Ski Resort and most of the tail of Georgian Bay from Christian Island to Thornbury.

The build? A 3700+ square foot custom home, insulated concrete forms (ICF) from footing to truss, and full bed quarry stone, selected directly from an Owen Sound area quarry, covering the entire surface.

This very solid home is covered with the Enviroslate roofing system to emulate a slate finish, ensuring that every aspect of the construction is a robust as the next.

And to add to the high level of benefits, a geo-thermal ground loop heating/cooling system, backed up by a propane-powered generator.

But still, the best part of the investment for these discerning owners is the “View”. On a clear day you can see across Georgian Bay, or to the East, Wasaga Beach. At night the lights of the bay are clearly visible and remind you of places in far away lands where memories of vacation paradises are always in the back of your mind.

During the winter days the skiers pass below the bluff from the front porch, close enough to hear the skis on the snow, yet hidden from their view by the foliage covering the Bruce Trail.

In the summer months the sailboats float with ease , dotting the bay, and fishing boats troll constantly back and forth. The Nottawasga Lighthouse is plainly visible and a gorgeous symbol of longevity on the bay.

What price would you pay for this “View”? Everyday we pull onto the property and walk to the bluff to take in the vision. Ever seen a rainbow from an elevated position? We have, and will never forget the dramatic image it leaves with you.
