Richard's Notes on the Compound
Renee's1 Symphony of Joy - ~10' acres with some 12,000 sq.metres of mature Cedar Forest with a Pond , deep setback from a country road, Principal Residence (2,500 sq.ft. each on two levels) plus three Cabins for i) Children's Playroom; ii) Adults Ping Pong Room; and iii) Woodshed for Fire Logs. Together with Architect Jacek Sydnoradsky, Renee has created the ultimate rustic charm via hand hewn 10" Centre Heart Pine Log on site joined by double dove tail, soaring ceiling with exposed beams illuminated by Iron Lanterns, Terra Cotta Floors in Anteroom, Country Kitchen, Dining and Laundry Rooms, Track and Pot Lights, Exposed Logs for some interior walls, "Barn" Doors and Locks for some interior rooms, and the pièces de résistance i) duplicating and celebrating the European tradition of the Tile Stove (Master Craftsman Uli Baumgartener was flown in from Tyrol Austria for the task) and ii) the outdoor Sauna was made from specially imported Finnish Pine.
Finishing touches includes some 140 sq. metres of deck (walk-out from the Study, Bedroom, and Living Room), 5 x 2 Lantern Street Lamps, 7 x Exterior Wall Lanterns (matching the Interior ones), Wooden Fence, Electric Exterior Gates, Bird Baths and evidence of a dog-loving family everywhere - with garage access and outdoor kennels. Large Bedroom Picture Windows (all with swing out Wooden Shutters), wall-to-wall (almost) glass sliding doors in the Living Room and Zero Clearance Fireplace on the Lower Level.
To sum it up, a very warm and welcoming mini-compound ideal both for the occasional weekenders or full timers (easy commute to TO in 45 Minutes). Easy "jog" to Hiking, Fine Dining, Golf, Skiing .... and so on (See Regional Grid Below).
The place is built with children and dog lovers in mind. The final "product" is a culmination of extensive search for the best location and material used for the perfect ambiance and environment for Renee to enjoy her golden years. The craftsmanship of the property is superb and solid, utilizing the best materials such as ABB Poured Concrete Foundation - with typical German exacting requirements. The feel is rustic - well balanced with creature comfort (such as fireplaces, Berber carpets, wood burning fireplaces, whirlpool bath Ensuite, central air, central vacuum cleaner, security system..) and a touch of "roughness" (such as the "barn doors and locks", exposed lumber, plastered ceilings...) for the total country experience.

Richard's Notes on The Region
Caledon my first love in
Ontario – since the Fall of 1978.
The
Millcroft Inn
(now a Spa) was where I had my most romantic escapades.
High Tea in the
Terra Cotta Inn
has now metamorphosed into fine Italian cuisine.
When I am in the mood for the “country”, depending on my ambition, I can either
take a stroll on the gentle rolling hills at the
Forks of Credit
Provincial Park
embark on a more vigorous hike along the river and
escarpment paths, or even push a little further, to hike on the
Mono Cliffs. The
Cliffs command a spectacular almost 360 degree view of the region. Afterwards, I
would enjoy a brew and chicken wings, or buttered garlic shrimp, at the Mono
Cliffs Inn - owned and run by an Australian expatriate. On my way back, I would
replenish my supply of the most incredible "homemade" jam at Flap Jacks on HWY
10.
The region draws the international set to work, live and visit along with the incredibly wealthy (I enjoyed my visit - on a professional basis, to an $18 million estate in the area), and the incredibly artistic such as Lyn Westfall.
