About the Property
Exceptional Privacy, Thoughtful Design, and Trailside Living
Welcome to 23 Forest Drive—an extraordinary offering on the western edge of Collingwood, perfectly positioned for access to private ski clubs, Blue Mountain Village, multiple golf courses, and the charming shops and restaurants of Thornbury. Set on a beautifully landscaped and fully fenced 0.71-acre lot, this property backs directly onto the Georgian Trail, providing seamless four-season access to 34 kilometers of biking, skiing, and nature between Collingwood and Meaford.
Outdoor Living at Its Finest
Step into a professionally executed backyard oasis—where immaculate perennial gardens, a pollinator bed, and established spring bulbs surround a cascading water feature and hot tub. Horseshoe pits, multiple seating areas, and direct trail access invite connection to nature, friends, and family. Dramatic outdoor landscape lighting sets the tone for magical evenings outdoors, perfect for enjoying warm nights under the stars. The upper Duradek deck with Invisirail offers unobstructed views of the mountain and creates a sheltered seating area below.
Inspired Interior Design
This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home is filled with warmth, natural light, and thoughtful design. The main floor is anchored by a dramatic great room that dominates the space, featuring vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and oversized windows that flood the home with light and provide sweeping views of the resort-style backyard. The open-concept kitchen blends function and charm with quartz countertops, a one-of-a-kind Carpenter’s workbench island, and a seamless connection to the dining area and outdoor entertaining spaces.
Just off the great room, a cozy family room provides the perfect spot to unwind with a movie or your favourite show—ideal for relaxed evenings at home. Throughout the main level, a blend of maple hardwood flooring, Tarkett luxury vinyl plank, and Sarana tile adds warmth and texture.
Main Floor Retreat
The primary suite is privately tucked away from the other bedrooms and exudes comfort and calm. It features a second gas fireplace and a newly renovated spa-inspired ensuite (2023) with Dekton quartz waterfall countertops, a Jacuzzi tub with its own fireplace, and luxurious finishes that elevate everyday living.
Versatility Meets Comfort
A lofted office provides a serene workspace with elevated views, while the spacious bedroom/studio over the garage offers exceptional flexibility: perfect for hosting guests, accommodating teens or creating a dedicated space for yoga, art, or music.
