129 Davos Drive, Blue Mountains

Minutes from Craigleith, Alpine and Blue Mountain, this custom Normerica post-and-beam is a natural home base for ski season, close enough to ski the afternoon and be home by the fire before dark. Built in 2005 and held by the same family for twenty years, it's coming to market for the first time, and the care that has gone into it shows. The home sits back in the trees on a quiet Craigleith lot, with warm timber and stone throughout. In the great room, the ceiling rises 26 feet to a cathedral peak. A floor-to-ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace anchors the space, with reclaimed hemlock underfoot. On a winter night, this is where you'll want to be. The kitchen is well set up for someone who likes to cook, with cherry cabinetry, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and a large granite island. Off the dining room, a screened sunroom sits up in the treetops. The main-floor primary bedroom has its own private deck under a pergola. Downstairs are three bedrooms and two ensuite baths, plus a flex space with a gas fireplace and heated floors. Two walkouts lead out to the patio. It's a comfortable level to come back to after a day on the hill, with room for everyone to spread out. Outside, the property is private and maintenance-free, with flagstone paths and patterned concrete terraces winding through the trees. In summer, Northwinds Beach is a short walk, and the Craigleith trails and nearby golf courses are close at hand. Collingwood's historic downtown and Thornbury's harbourfront main street are each a short drive, whether you're after a proper dinner out or something casual after skiing. Homes like this one don't come up often in this part of the Blue Mountains.
