The Estate
Wake up to water. Eat dinner over it. Fall asleep to nothing but the trees.
Most country properties give you land. This one gives you a lake, a boardwalk to your own dock, a wall of glass to watch it all from, and a deck the size of a city apartment to live on from May to October.
It sits in Rockton, in the countryside between Cambridge and Hamilton. Twenty minutes to town. A lifetime away from it once you're home.
The Residence
One long line of glass, facing the water.
A modern bungalow built for the view: floor-to-ceiling glass runs the length of the back of the house, so the lake is in every room that matters.
The upper deck wraps the whole rear elevation and is fully glassed in, so the wind stays out and the view stays in. Loungers, dining, a fireside corner, all of it looking down the lawn to the dock. A wide drive and a two-door garage greet you at the front.
The Water
A lake you don't share.
A boardwalk runs straight from the deck steps, across the lawn, to a dock on your own spring-fed pond. Kayaks and a pedal boat wait at the end of it.
Boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, all from your own dock. Morning coffee on the water. Evenings watching the treeline go red across the far shore. No cottage drive, no neighbour's motor.
The Land
A hundred acres to explore.
Beyond the lawn the property opens into fenced pasture, fields, forest and trails. There are caves toward the far south end, owl boxes and bat boxes in the trees, and the wildlife that comes with them.
Ride, run the ATV, walk the dog for an hour without leaving home. A fire circle under a giant maple is where the family gathers on cool nights.
Rockton sits between Cambridge and Hamilton, with Valens Lake Conservation Area, Westfield Heritage Village and African Lion Safari all a short drive. Country, without being far from anything.
The Barns
Room for every hobby, and then some.
Several barns and outbuildings, with power, lighting and workbenches, and a well in the first barn. One holds a hockey change room and games area; the rest are workshop and storage, or whatever you make them.
Pickleball, a pony, a wood shop, a car collection. The buildings are here.
A year here
Four seasons, and the property changes with every one.
01
Spring
The lake opens, the lawns green up and the first evenings on the deck arrive. Trails through the property wake up with the wildlife.
02
Summer
Kayaks and the pedal boat off the dock, fishing at dusk, ATV runs to the far fields, dinner for twenty behind the glass.
03
Fall
The far shore turns red and gold and the whole lake reflects it. Long walks to the caves at the south end. Fires in the circle by the barn.
04
Winter
Pond hockey on your own ice, a change room in the barn, and the fireplace waiting inside. Snow on a hundred acres with no one else on it.
