Have you built Homes near Georgian Peaks Ski Club?

Q:

Have you built Homes near Georgian Peaks Ski Club?

A:

Yes we have we have built several custom homes and chalet at and near the Georgian Peaks Ski Club. Here is one the latest homes that we built in that area;

http://www.villagebuilders.ca/peaks-bay-chalet/

The home is a 3600 sqft two story chalet that has Hardie Board siding and Dutch quality stone on the outside along with Ridley Windows and Doors. The home is situated a short walk to Georgian bay and has beautiful views of the Georgian Peaks mountain range.

The inside of the home is a fairly open concept with the chief’s style kitchen open to the large dining room. The kitchen has a nice large island that is painted a darker colour then the surrounding cabinet’s giving a nice contrast. The kitchen has everything someone would want in a kitchen with a large gas stove and all the appropriate appliances, there is even a wine fridge touched under the island. Beautiful dark granite tops the kitchen, the granite counter tops are a very unique contrast with white veining throughout the dark granite.

The kitchen has direct sight lines through the dining room into the high ceilinged great room. The great room has two stories of windows that look out over the mountain resort of Georgian Peaks Ski Club. The great room has a high modern fireplace with a sleek low profile gas fireplace, it is surrounded with Asian inspired stone tile covering it’s three sides. There is a peak a boo view from the hallway upstairs that not only gives views to the great room but also of the mountains beyond.

The master suite is behind the great room with a large master bedroom that has a large double set of doors that leads out to a small covered porch that is perfect for morning coffee while looking at the wildflowers growing on the mountains in the summer. There is a door less entry into the 4 piece master ensuite. It has heated floors and a large shower that has multiple heads and jets to let you warm up and settle down after a long day of skiing.

The first floor also has a large laundry room that doubles as a place to store all the ski equipment and wet clothes from winter and summer outside adventures.

There is a small powder room next to the laundry room with a sink that has a custom made wood counter top and a touch-less faucet.

The second floor has 3 well sized bedrooms one with its own ensuite and a large main bathroom that is big enough to allow everyone to get ready for a fun night out on the town. At the end of the hall is a rec. room that is perfect for the teenagers and their friends.

The home has a large garage with high ceilings allowing storage of all the summer toys above and around the vehicles.

The backyard has a large covered porch that has a concrete patio that works when you want those barbecue parties for all your friends.

The home has a high efficiency gas fireplace to heat the home that is placed in the crawlspace along with the instant hot water tank and all the other components that run the home.

Particular attention was paid to the insulating of the home. The home was “buttered” with 2 inches of spray foam that was placed in all the wall cavities and then had a Rolex batt installed on top of it. This process was also used in the attic with the drywall installed first without a vapour barrier and then the spray foam was applied to the backside of the drywall in the attic space. After this there was R-40 blown in added on top of it. The overall affect was a extremely well sealed home that is easy to heat in the winter and simple to cool in the summer.

The home is perfect for those family weekends when you are looking for fun in the outdoors.

I want to build a custom home in the Collingwood area


Are you building a custom home in the Collingwood area?

Building custom homes in the Collingwood area comes with its own unique problems and surprises. If you are thinking about building a custom home in this area then you should make sure that you are hiring the right general contractor. Not all general contractors are created equal. You need to do your research, check the internet, check references and talk to your neighbours and friends that have had work done by a general contractor. You want to hire a general contractor that not only knows how to build the home you want but can do it in a professional and timely manner.

If you do your research you should only come up with a handful of general contractors that fit the standards that you will want in your custom home. One of those general contractors will be Village Builders.

There certain building issues that homeowners can get themselves into when building in the Collingwood area. Depending on where you build you could end up with serious water problems that you will have to deal with during construction and if the contractor doesn’t do it right, then you will have water problems after the home is built. If you’re building on the water, handling the mass amounts of water that run off the hill across the shale under your house to the bay can be a problem. It’s actually only a problem if your contractor doesn’t know how to handle it properly.
