In the heart of Georgian Bay cottage country, where the fresh air carries a hint of pine and the nearest neighbors are tucked away from view, is a two-island private compound offering total serenity. Located south of the entrance to 12 Mile Bay, with protected access, The Ridges features a 10.5-acre main island with a stunning Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired glass and wood compound. It has more than 4,000 feet of shoreline complemented by a 1.5-acre island with 1,200 feet of shoreline. The main island has expansion capacity for three additional secluded building sites, each with water frontage and dock access.

With walls of glass to maximize the southern and western exposure and a screened-in porch up in the trees, the island’s summer home complex integrates the natural beauty of its surroundings into the living space. It is fully powered by a computer-controlled solar system seamlessly backed up with a propane generator. Its elevated perch delivers unobstructed views of O’Donnell Point Provincial Park, a prohibited-use nature preserve; Georgian Bay; and a few small islands that also are protected under the Canadian parks system. The main house has two bedrooms, including a master suite that spans the second floor and provides a 360-degree panorama. With its attached, heated two-bedroom extension and two-bedroom bunkie, the compound can sleep up to 16. A great room with fireplace serves as a central gathering point and is connected to the open kitchen and dining room. Sliding doors open onto a tiered deck system that provides outdoor dining space and expansive views as it descends to a secondary deck and then to a platform for sunbathing and watersports. There are two sets of docks, a cargo lift and sheltered mooring space for four large boats. Pathways connect the gazebos located at both ends of the island.

The Ridges is only a two-hour drive from Toronto and a 15-minute boat ride from the full-service Moose Deer Point Marina, which offers a direct water taxi to the house. Port Carling shopping; the Muskoka Lakes, home to 26 golf courses; and the San Souci recreational area are nearby in some of the world’s most beautiful waters.
