The homes of Far Hills

Far Hills is a townhome and condo enclave on the Thornbury side of the Blue Mountain area: two- and three-bedroom townhomes and chalet-style condos along Far Hills Drive and the surrounding streets, built for the ski-weekend market at a price point below the Village. The product is straightforward — similar floor plans, gas fireplaces, hot tubs, gear storage — aimed at buyers who want a Blue Mountain-area address without Village prices or Village bustle. It reads as residential rather than resort: quieter streets, more owner-occupiers, less foot traffic.

Asking prices seen in October 2026 confirmed the value positioning: $439,000 for a two-bedroom condo townhome at 4 Brandy Lane South, $559,000 for a two-bedroom at 5 Brandy Lane South, and $679,000 for a three-bedroom townhome at 4 Brandy Lane South (Unit 104). The band is tight because the product is uniform — price differences reflect unit position, renovation and view more than anything structural. At these levels, Far Hills is among the lowest-priced entries to the Blue Mountain–Craigleith area. Condo diligence applies at full strength: status certificate, fee history, reserve fund and rental rules for the specific corporation. At this price point, older buildings need a particularly close read — special-assessment risk can erase the discount to the Village quickly. Verify winter systems and window condition, and confirm the town's short-term licensing position before assuming rental income.

The resort and the mountain

Far Hills sits between two ski worlds: Blue Mountain — Ontario's largest resort, roughly 220 metres (720 feet) of vertical, about 40 runs, around a dozen lifts, extensive snowmaking and night skiing — a short drive east, and the private Craigleith Ski Club a short drive west. The enclave is near-slope to neither in the literal sense; it is a residential base camp for the whole area's skiing. It's a base-camp position — neither slopeside nor club-gate — and the asking prices reflect exactly that honesty.

Thornbury's harbour, restaurants and shops are the local amenity rather than the Village — a quieter, more year-round town feel. There is no private-club layer to Far Hills itself; it is a condominium community, and the nearby private clubs are separate memberships for those who want them. Thornbury's year-round character is the lifestyle difference: a working harbour town with locals, not a resort population. The bakery, the brewery, the harbour — these are daily-life amenities rather than visitor attractions, and owners who live here part-time often find Thornbury is what keeps them coming back as much as the skiing.

Four-season reality

Summer around Far Hills is Thornbury-and-the-bay summer: the harbour, the Beaver River, cycling the Georgian Trail, golf at Lora Bay and Cranberry, and the Blue Mountain Village's event calendar a short drive away. The townhomes' decks and the area's outdoor life make this a genuine two-season address. The Beaver River and the harbour give summer a watery dimension the hillside enclaves lack — paddling, fishing, and the simple pleasure of watching the boats. Lora Bay and Cranberry golf are minutes away, and the Georgian Trail connects the whole shoreline. Winter's skiing is the headline, but the bay is the year-round backdrop.

Winter access is easy: the Far Hills streets are on the maintained municipal network near Highway 26, plowed and straightforward, without the Escarpment-climb drama of the hillside enclaves. Snow tires remain wise, but access is not a diligence item here the way it is on a Mulmur sideroad. The stock is built for four-season occupancy. The municipal plowing is town-grade — Thornbury's streets are cleared early and often — and the flat terrain means no hillside driveway drama. Winter here is the easy version of ski-country living, which is part of what the price point buys.

Location and getting there

Far Hills is in Thornbury, in the Town of The Blue Mountains, roughly two hours from Toronto via Highway 400 and Highway 26 in clear conditions. Thornbury itself — harbour, dining, grocery, shops — is minutes away; Collingwood's full services are about 20 minutes east. Thornbury itself covers daily needs — grocery, pharmacy, dining — with Collingwood's full services 20 minutes east. The position in the triangle — Village, Craigleith clubs, Thornbury harbour — means every ski day starts with a short drive in a different direction. For buyers who want variety without relocating, it's the most flexible base in the area.

The position is the value proposition: close to everything in the Blue Mountain–Craigleith–Thornbury triangle without paying Village or slopeside prices. A car is essential, but every drive is short. That flexibility is the investment thesis too: guests who want the Village can reach it, guests who want the clubs are close, and guests who want the harbour town are already there. Far Hills doesn't depend on any single attraction, which makes its rental demand more diversified — and more resilient — than the single-hill enclaves.

Far Hills market snapshot

No sold-price dataset for Far Hills crossed my desk this session, so read autumn 2026 asking prices: two-bedroom townhomes from $439,000 to $559,000, three-bedrooms around $679,000. That is the lowest entry band in the Blue Mountain-area resort market — the discount reflects the Thornbury-side position rather than any defect. The value positioning is structural, not temporary — Far Hills will always trade below the Village because the geography is fixed. That makes it a relatively safe entry point: you're not paying a premium that depends on sentiment. The risk to watch is the building, not the location — at these prices, the corporation's health is the variable.

Turnover is steadier than in the luxury tiers, with listings clustering in late summer and fall. Price within the enclave and against its own corporation's history — the uniform product makes same-street comparables unusually meaningful, and Village or slopeside comparables will only mislead. First-time ski-property buyers dominate the buyer pool here, which keeps the market honest — there's little speculation at these levels. Sellers are typically moving up within the area or exiting the second-home market entirely. Either way, transactions tend to be straightforward, with fewer bidding wars than the prestige tiers.
