The drive in tells you everything. A private laneway winds through a forested canopy, leaves drifting across the asphalt, before opening to reveal a Hamptons-style residence that looks transplanted from the East Coast; cedar shake-style siding, an arched portico, gabled roofline. Behind it, over 15 acres of forest, meadow, and a quiet pond, all protected within a managed forestry program. The house faces south, which means sunrise and sunset are yours from anywhere along the back of the home.

The 8-foot mahogany door opens to a soaring two-story foyer, an orb chandelier suspended above European white oak plank floors. To one side, a private office with built-in cabinetry looks out over the front grounds; a working space framed by trees. To the other, a formal dining room recently reimagined by renowned designers Barnard & Speziale: deep charcoal walls with crisp white millwork, a sculptural cluster chandelier as the showstopper, layered drapery, and a refreshed palette designed for ten guests and long evenings.

Past the foyer, the home opens up. The back of the house feels like one continuous room, anchored by light and the view of forest beyond. The chef's kitchen sits at the centre; double ovens, integrated gas cooktop, panelled fridge and freezer, double fridge drawers, and a 12-foot island. To its left, a sunlit breakfast area. To its right, an open living room anchored by a striking reclaimed barnwood feature wall, flowing into a sunroom wrapped on three sides by windows and French doors that open onto the patio, lawn, and hot tub. Look out the back windows long enough and you'll see deer crossing the lawn at dusk; and on occasion, a curious cow wandering over from the neighbouring property to say hello. The powder room off the main hall is an unexpected jewel: a hand-applied decorative wall finish, a live-edge wood vanity, and a hand-carved stone vessel sink.

Upstairs, the primary retreat is a true sanctuary, also recently refreshed by Barnard & Speziale. The bedroom flows into a massive custom walk-in closet built for two and a five-piece ensuite featuring a glass-enclosed steam shower with double rainheads, a freestanding soaking tub against a textured stone feature wall, double vanities, and a private cedar sauna with its own changing alcove. Heated floors throughout. Two additional bedrooms and a nanny's quarters with private ensuite complete the second level. The third floor offers a versatile retreat; bedroom, office, or studio opening through French doors to a private deck above the property's treeline.

The lower level is its own world. White oak floors run through an open entertaining space with a designer wet bar (charcoal cabinetry, integrated wine fridge, floating shelves), a generous family room with built-in speakers and Atmos theatre-quality sound, a full three-piece bath, and a spacious laundry room finished in soft powder blue with a yellow door and heated floors.

Outside, the grounds extend the home's reach. A bluestone patio with hot tub and gas BBQ station. Sweeping lawn framed by mature pines and a black iron fence. A professionally finished pickleball court surface. Full landscape lighting. A detached three-car carriage house with a loft space, and an attached garage; insulated, propane-heated, and plumbed with hot and cold water. And beyond all of it, the pond; a still, dark mirror tucked into the forest, framed by trees.

What sets this property apart, beyond the architecture and the land, is the standard of care. The current owner has maintained this home meticulously; every system serviced and up to date, every detail attended to, every upgrade considered. It shows. They also participate in a managed forestry program, which reduces annual property taxes by approximately 35% compared to similar acreage, and restricts further development in a way that preserves the eco-sensitive areas and the long sight lines that define the experience of being here.

Walking distance to Kilbride Public School, the library, and the Bruce Trail.
