The leading source for news relating to luxury Collingwood & The Blue Mountains experiences, lifestyles, real estate, & travel

 

Nestled on the shores of spectacular Georgian Bay, the towns of Collingwood and The Blue Mountains are an easy drive north of the Greater Toronto Area and together make up one of Ontario’s most visited vacation destinations. 

Home to the province’s best skiing, world-class golf, chic shops, and first-rate restaurants, not to mention some of Canada’s most sought-after luxury real estate, Collingwood and The Blue Mountains provide a truly unique lifestyle experience for visitors and residents alike.

Both communities exude big-time luxury, and you don’t have to dig too deep to find it. Take a drive through Collingwood’s leafy suburbs and you’ll see evidence of the town’s thriving real estate scene everywhere, from chic new-builds and luxury condos to classic heritage homes done up to the nines in modern amenities that have been added without spoiling their elegant old charm.

And in The Blue Mountains, luxury homes range from sprawling lakefront properties to rustic, chalet-style retreats, and hillside estates with magnificent views of Georgian Bay and proximity to those ski slopes. The usually much newer homes typically come equipped with luxury features such as heated floors, gourmet kitchens, and even their own wine cellars, all the while oozing a sense of grandeur that matches the area’s natural beauty.
