AREA:
Stone Croft Farm is a very private 168 acre country estate located at the top of the hill by Osler Bluff Ski Club and Blue Mountain in the heart of ski country. A true country property, but with the convenience of being 10 minutes from the historic main street of Collingwood and 15 minutes from charming Thornbury. With conveniences like golf, skiing, biking and mountain biking and spas minutes away, Stonecroft is perfect for those looking to enjoy private country life with all the experiences nearby.

Summer:
The farm has an extra large saltwater pool and is 15 minutes from the shale beaches along the Craigleith shoreline, and 25 minutes from the giant sand beaches at Wasaga. Road bikers love the climb up Grey Road 19 past the farm to access miles of great road biking at the top of the escarpment and across to the Beaver Valley. There is classic "technical" mountain biking at nearby 3 Stage, as well as hundreds of acres of mountain biking trails at nearby Kolapore Wilderness Reserve.

Fall:
Enjoy miles of hiking and fall colours on the nearby Bruce Trail on the Niagara Escarpment. Check out the local wineries and cideries. Then relax in front of a big fire in the wood burning fireplace, or flip on the gas fireplace in the second living room.

Winter:
Blue Mountain Village is nearby for skiing, boarding and cross country skiing, plus lots of restaurants for enjoying the apres ski. Scandinave spa is just 5 minutes away if you want to pamper yourself with hot baths, massages and other spa treatments. Also close to Osler Bluff Ski Club as well as Craigleith, Alpine, Toronto Ski Club and Georgian Peaks Ski Club. In winter Kolapore's trails convert from mountain biking to miles of cross country skiing. OFSC snowmobile trails nearby.

Spring:
Collingwood is a quaint Ontario town with a historic Main Street about ten minutes away and has the full range of services you would expect - Big name grocery stores, as well as several gourmet specialty shops like Dags and Willow, a liquor and beer store, Cineplex movie theatre, several good restaurants covering the range from great dining with live music (Huron Club) to new style Mexican (Bent Taco), asian fushion (Lowdown) and many more.


THE PROPERTY:
The farmhouse is a classic, white board and batten Ontario design, built in 1861 and completely restored, from the frame up, with a modern interior, and every modern convenience. Landscape design by Mark Hartley. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest, it’s set beautifully back from the road, so there’s lots of privacy.

The Pool:
From the large Great Room, enjoy the view across the deck to the large 51 foot long saltwater pool with granite decking and the fields and forest beyond. The property stretches more than a kilometre west into the sunset.

The Barn:
If it's raining, play some ping pong or shoot some baskets in the giant restored barn.

The farmhouse is on 168 acres of fields, pasture and hardwood forest. You can hike or cross country ski the trails across the property, or you can just relax on the deck by the pool and watch the clouds go by.
