210194 Burgess Side Road, Georgian Bluffs, ON N0H 1S0

Tucked into 25 acres of forested privacy and stretching across 900+ feet of shoreline on wild and raw Gowan Lake, this is a retreat you’ll never want to leave. One of just two homes on the Lake, with nothing but protected forest in every direction, this custom-designed chalet was built to celebrate privacy, presence, and peace. Inside, you’ll find 2,400 sq ft of designer-curated interiors, where every detail reflects the natural surroundings: velvety hand-stained pine flooring, rustic timber beams, natural slate, and soft earthy tones that bring the outdoors in. A stunning atrium dining room with 24-foot vaulted ceilings frames the forest like art, while the farmhouse kitchen–with fresh white cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and apron sink–offers a bright and functional space for slow mornings and shared meals. The sunken California-style living room rises as an architectural showpiece, wrapped in windows, anchored by a stone-clad wood-burning fireplace, and finished with tongue-and-groove ceilings. Upstairs, the lofted primary suite is open, airy, and beautifully bespoke, with 18-foot ceilings and a private balcony overlooking Gowan Lake–the perfect place to watch the sun rise or the fog lift off the water. Two more bedrooms on this level share a thoughtful 4-piece bath with a soaker tub and separate water closet. Above, 2 ladder-accessed loft bedrooms create a whimsical hideaway for the littlest adventurers. Outdoor living is as extraordinary as the indoors. Wrap-around deck, a screened-in sunroom, private loop trail, and a gentle path to the water’s edge. A 28-foot-long saltwater pool, tucked into the trees, adds an unexpected touch of luxury for warm autumn mornings or summer afternoons. And with fibre-optic internet, you’re as connected as you want to be–and as off-grid as you need. This isn’t just a lakefront property. It’s a soulful, style-forward sanctuary. Gowan Lake isn’t for everyone… just the lucky few.
