My Heart’s in The Mountains – How About Yours?
We all lay claim to our favourite escapes. Whether it’s at the top of snow-capped mountains, sitting on pristine lakes in cottage country, or staring out across the Atlantic from your porch. The question becomes: Where can you unlock serenity and find time to unwind?
My Refuge, My Local Escape: Blue Mountain
Blue Mountain has become my getaway for several years now, and it is easily Southwestern Ontario’s best-kept secret. Did you know that the area features 5 exclusive ski clubs? The variety alone makes for the ultimate skiing and snowboarding weekend.
At Metcalfe Rock, you can enjoy what is the Escarpment’s premium rock climbing venue. Then, you can enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Georgian Bay, either from the top of Blue Mountain, or from the deck of your sailboat as you gaze across the white-sand shores of the world’s longest freshwater beach.
Golfing, zip lining, the mountain coast, tennis camps, Scandinavian spas – the whole family is sure to be delighted once they arrive at this mountain escape. The lifestyle that Blue Mountain properties afford is second-to-none – which you’ll find the moment you visit.
The Best Part?
Living in Blue Mountain is much more affordable than in Toronto! Modern homes, condo properties, and land are all available in picturesque Blue Mountain Village, while the town of Thornbury has many century homes that offer stunning views overlooking the water.
