Stunning waterfront property w/39 acres on Crowe River, 800 ft of water frontage. Extremely private with an elevated view of the river. A long driveway leads you to this 3,000-plus sq ft, two-story home. Comes with a beautiful well-kept barn and six stables. Attention to detail with tongue and groove pine ceiling with exposed beam accents, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and custom stone mantel with wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead from the kitchen to the deck area with a stunning countryside view. Indoor spa-like hot tub running off the kitchen (this is open seasonally, winter months only).
Natural flow with open-concept living and dining room areas connecting to the kitchen. The outdoor pool to the side of the property offers a pleasant alternative to swimming in the lake (the pool is open seasonally, during the summer months). The second floor consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, including a master bedroom with 3 piece ensuite with a walk-in shower. Full basement complete with 3rd full 4 piece bathroom. The basement also has a well-equipped rec room area. 50" flat-screen TV, PLEASE BRING HDMI CABLE to connect from your laptop to the flat-screen, WiFi. We also provide propane BBQ, Patio Furniture, Firepit, and more!
Lots of great boating, fishing, and swimming right on your doorstep! This gorgeous Farmhouse is geared towards multi-generational family retreats. It can be rented weekly or for months at a time. Also makes for an excellent corporate retreat. Plenty of team-building activities on the grounds or in the surrounding area. You have to see it to believe it!
** Please note the following property details:**
1. The outdoor pool and hot tub operate seasonally. Please check with the host to confirm if they'll be open during your stay.
2. The pool is NOT heated.
3. There's 1 television in the basement; however, it's not a smart television nor does it have cable. For entertainment purposes, please bring an HDMI + laptop.
4. The internet connection gets interrupted at times due to our service provider conducting maintenance work on nearby towers.
5. Swimming off the dock is quite weedy/many Lilly pads. However, you are still able to still swim in the lake, which is a little distance off the dock. There is the sand bar that all the locals enjoy swimming at, a little kayak from the house. We do have the pool just off the house as a great alternative. Guests have loved this option!
We look forward to hosting you!
While my family and I are based in Toronto, Dave is looking after the property. Lisa and Marshall have their beautiful horses at the barn. They keep to themselves pretty much.
I am always available for any questions that you may have. I will reply to any message as quickly as I can.
Plenty of attractions both on-site and off-site, all within a 10-minute drive from Marmora Retreat.

Parking is plentiful at the property as well as if you were to take a drive into the town.
The best mode of transport would be a motorcar. That being said, biking or walking the area is very well suited as well.
