Classic Farmhouse with Pool, Hot Tub, Outdoor Shower, Stream,Barn, on 100 Acres!

Brookdale Farm is a very private 100 acre country estate with large saltwater pool and hot tub, located on top of the escarpment by Devils Glen Ski Club and 25 minutes from Blue Mountain in the heart of ski country.

The farmhouse interior was refreshed and renewed over the winter by Sarah Richardson Design, one of Canada's best known interior design firms.

A true country property, but with the convenience of being 10 minutes from the small town of Flesherton, 20 minutes from charming Creemore, and 30 minutes from the historic main street of Collingwood. With activities like golf, skiing, biking and mountain biking and spas minutes away, Highland Creek Farm is perfect for those looking to enjoy private country life with all the outdoor experiences nearby.

Summer: The farm has an extra large saltwater pool, hot tub and outdoor shower. Road bikers love the quiet country roads, with a13km ride to Eugenia at the top of miles of great road biking through the Beaver Valley. There are hundreds of acres of mountain biking trails at nearby Kolapore Wilderness Reserve as well as "technical" mountain biking at 3 Stage. It is 30 minutes from the shale beaches along the Craigleith shoreline, and 40 minutes from the giant sand beaches at Wasaga.

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 family room.

Winter: Devils Glen Ski Club is 12 minutes east and Beaver Valley Ski Club is 12 minutes west. Blue Mountain Village is 30 minutes north for skiing, boarding and cross country skiing, plus lots of restaurants for enjoying the apres ski. Scandinave spa is near Blue if you want to pamper yourself with hot baths, massages and other spa treatments. 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 about 30 minutes away with a historic Main Street and the full range of services you would expect - Big name grocery stores, as well as several gourmet specialty shops like Dags and Willow, Blue Ridge Meats, 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 fusion (Lowdown) and many more. The village of Creemore is a short drive.


THE PROPERTY: The farmhouse is beautifully and privately situated on 100 acres consisting of open fields, surrounded by 12 acres of hardwood maple forest, and 20 acres of cedar forest, with a small creek running across the property. The farmhouse is a classic, white clapboard Ontario design, built in 1861 and carefully restored in a traditional style with all the modern conveniences. The interior was refreshed and upgraded by Sarah Richardson Design to be a comfortably luxurious version of a classic Canadian farmhouse. It’s set beautifully back from the road, so there’s lots of privacy. Highland Creek Farm is perfect for family getaways, swimming in the large saltwater pool, a weekend of golf with the guys/girls, a base for mountain or road biking, or just as a unique setting for pleasure or business.

The Pool, Hot Tub and Outdoor Shower:
From the large screened porch, enjoy the view of the large saltwater pool with perennial gardens and tall cedars for privacy.

The Barn:
Play some ping pong or shoot some baskets in the giant restored barn, regardless of the weather.

You can hike, snow shoe 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.
