EDITOR’S NOTE

ovember is generally one of the quieter times of year here in Muskoka. Most of the cottagers have closed their lake houses for another year and gone home; snow brings a hush to the woods, and the lakes fall silent as they begin to freeze over. Traditionally, things tend to quiet down in the real estate market, too. But as we all know, 2021 has been anything but a traditional year – we’re still seeing very strong demand throughout the region. I think people are discovering what those of us who live here year round already know: Muskoka is a completely different place in winter, but every bit as beautiful. This issue has lots of ideas on how to enjoy your “summer home” even when summer is just a memory. If you tend to only invite friends up in July or August, “Hosting for the Holidays” gives you tips on making the cottage even more welcoming in the colder months. (And with a fire pit, stove or fireplace from Huntsville’s the Fireplace King, you can be certain everyone will stay toasty and warm, no matter how frightful the weather may be outside.) Once again, a huge thanks goes out to our talented editorial team for a great job with our November digital issue. Also, I hope you’ll join us in welcoming the newest member of the CM team, JD Sterne, who will be taking over the chief editor reins while Kallan Koch goes on maternity leave. Best wishes to Kallan on her new addition and a heartfelt welcome to JD - welcome to the CM family!!!!

THE PURVEYOR Michael Pourvakil, President

After Hours collection Inspired by the unique symbols and characters, these rugs aspired to create a collection defined by a distinctive style of it’s own. Pay attention to the layering of motifs - sharp lines against a backdrop of bold, faded strokes. Study each design and observe the number of hues you can find in one piece, then step back and witness the symphony of colour come together in one illustrative tone. The collection is named After Hours to allude to the mysterious aspect of the night - when street artists paint their most wild ideas and coyotes howl to the moon.

BY DC RUTHERFORD

I ordered my usual two cords of wood this week, preparing to get the old homestead going as we head into winter. Sure, I have more industrial and modern forms of heating my home – an oil furnace, an energy-efficient system of mini-splits – but why? There’s nothing quite like the smell of wood sparking a morning, cutting into the crisp cool of burgeoning autumn that’s falling towards another inevitable winter. The fire, indeed, is so delightful.

ireplaces have evolved as much as any home utility over the past half-decade, but their simplicity and anachronism define it. In Muskoka and its surrounding regions, Huntsville’s The Fireplace King has been keeping homes and cottages warmed by postcard-perfect hearths for over 35 years. Offering “heating and cooling solutions for your home, cottage, business, and lifestyle,” The Fireplace King installs and services gas and wood-burning fireplaces; inserts and pellet stoves; boilers, furnaces, and geothermal heating; air conditioning, heat pumps, and hot water heaters; barbecues, outdoor and fireplaces, plus patio heaters, gas and wood firepits, and more.

Renaissance Rumford 1500

Some of The Fireplace King’s favourite modern conveniences, heading into the

2021-22 season, include the Renaissance Rumford 1500, Town & Country’s WS54, as well as The Architectural Series by Town & Country, “North America’s most sophisticated luxury fireplace.” These fireplaces aren’t simply about keeping the pipes from freezing and warming up romantic winter nights. These are works of art that complement any space, and can be customized to fit the aesthetic preferences of discerning homeowners and cottagers. The more traditional hearth aficionado will love the Renaissance Rumford 1500, boasting 1,500 square inches of high-quality ceramic glass, a guillotine door and screen, and specialty refractory panels. “The shape of the firebox creates a taller fire and reflects

more heat into the room than a traditional fireplace,” according to the literature, “an excellent alternative to a traditional open-hearth fireplace. It has the size and appearance of a stone hearth, but the added benefit of an air-tight door, tons of heat and reduced emissions.” Those more enamoured with the contemporary will adore the Town & Country WS54, “a massive, widescreen landscape of deep, generous flames that captivate from any angle, making a statement in even the most spacious rooms. This ultra-modern fireplace is sleek and luxurious and can be customized for your space,” switching out burners and firebox panels to offer dozens of combinations.

The Fireplace King has been keeping homes and cottages warmed by postcard-perfect hearths for over 35 years.

For those who wish to luxuriate in the opulence of their fireplace, The Architectural Series by Town & Country is poised to redefine the marketplace. “Designed for visual performance, The Architectural Series features a dramatic flame powered by 16,000 BTUs per foot, combined with a custom firebox airflow control system to allow fine art or the ultimate TV to hang directly above the viewing area. Narrow depth cooltouch glass makes the flame the focal point, while loadbearing construction offers the interior designer complete flexibility.” These are not your parents’ fireplaces. These are the very height of hearth technology and beauty. Since the fire is so delightful, why not delight in all it has to offer? NOVEMBER 2021 13 ■

Holidays Hosting for the

at the Lakehouse

By Brooke Madden

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Maybe some summerloving folk are dreaming of warmer days by the lake, back when the ground wasn’t so slushy and the wind didn’t hurt your face. I stand in solidarity with you to an extent. But trust me, December isn’t all bad. I’m going to teach you how to embrace the seemingly eternal greyness of the outside world and help you create a magical, cozy, Christmas oasis that even Ole Saint Nick would be jealous of. By the end of this article, you’ll feel like Clark Griswold when each little light on his home finally shines. And you’ll have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny Kaye! The secret? Hosting Christmas at the cottage.

I love my home in the city, but something about retreating up north for the holidays truly makes the season feel magical. Perhaps it’s the blanketed snow; maybe it’s the quiet serenity, or the possibility of spotting reindeer. More than that, hosting Christmas at the cottage is special to me because it’s truly a peaceful escape for myself and my loved ones. I had the opportunity recently to speak with Claudia Spahr-Kaye, and with over 20 years of hospitality experience (eight of them as a corporate flight attendant for one of Canada’s most influential families), Claudia’s expertise is unmatched. Having hosted some of the world’s most elite guests, Claudia’s Christmas at the cottage tips are sure to impress. Décor. You don’t need to hike into the woods and cut down your own, sappy (albeit majestic) evergreen to bring the Christmas spirit into your home. However, incorporating festive, fresh greenery, garlands, or trees inside and outside of your cottage will add spark to your space.

16 NOVEMBER 2021 ■

One of Claudia’s favourite spots for festive greenery is Sandhill Nursery. “We offer everything from fresh trees, greens, festive decorated urns and wreaths to Christmas decorations, ornaments and giftware,” says Bill from Sandhill Nursery. Sandhill also runs workshops for custom wreath creation. “Our fresh trees and decorated urns and wreaths are extremely popular, and you can purchase them online and we will deliver them straight to your home or cottage door,” Bill adds. The Huntsville and Burk’s Falls locations are open right up until Christmas, perfect for any lastminute decorators. Consider adding a Christmas tree from Sandhill to your front porch and back deck. Decorate it with unique ornaments and lights. (Pro tip: Shatterproof lights and decorations work best, especially outdoors.) Moving inside, fresh centrepieces add a touch of sophistication to your holiday

Incorporating festive, fresh greenery, garlands, or trees inside and outside of your cottage will add spark to your space.

table. Either order one from Sandhill Nursery, or create one yourself. Go on a little adventure with your loved ones to collect large pine boughs cut from your property, pinecones, or anything else you think looks pretty. Lay them down the middle of your table, intertwined with small fairy lights. Add candles of varying sizes and glass ornaments. It’ll create a stunning dressing for your holiday activities. Another must-visit place Claudia recommends is Christmas Tyme in Huntsville, where I spoke with Anne about this year-round Christmas shop. “We offer a wide variety of ornaments that are customizable – we have a laser engraver we can engrave with images, that makes your decor one-of-a-kind,” Anne says. Claudia recommends gathering a collection of ornaments that can be hung

on a clear string above your chandelier at different lengths, to create a whimsical, Christmas Village feel. Here’s another secret that is sure to impress: bake and decorate festive sugar cookies. Use icing to write your guests’ names, and voila! Festive, edible, unique placards for your table. Activities. Hosting can be overwhelming, and entertaining your guests shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Having a list of goto activities can help you relax and enjoy your guests’ company to the fullest. To get into the holiday mood, Claudia recommends a family sleigh ride at Riverglen Farms. Also look into feeding the birds, snowshoeing, skiing, skating, or even hiking the trails in Algonquin Park, to work off some of the calories consumed

by the decadent Gluhwein and cookies Claudia will teach you how to perfect later. Follow up your outdoorsy day with hot chocolate around the fire. Northbound Elements makes beautiful custom firepits that cater to any style. Gluhwein, hot apple cider or hot chocolate are the perfect accompaniment to an evening under the stars. Pair this with homemade cookies and treats (or maybe even spiked eggnog for the grown-ups) and you’ve got yourself a peaceful Christmas Eve. ’Tis The Season. Ultimately, clichéd as it may be, Christmas is about being with the ones you love. So gather ’round the fire, sing a carol or two, and enjoy the beauty of the cottage, with the magic, wonder, and grace of the season. Oh, and maybe throw on some National Lampoon movies, now that I’ve got you thinking about it.

Something about retreating up north for the holidays truly makes the season feel magical.

t’s rare that properties come up for sale on the shore of Puslinch Lake, a hidden gem of a community just fifteen minutes outside Kitchener-Waterloo, and less than an hour down the highway from Toronto. And it’s even rarer that they appear in the multiple listing directory.

LIVE THE COTTAGE LIFE ALL YEAR ROUND, AT

By Martha Uniacke Breen

24 NOVEMBER 2021 ■

As Cayman Marshall agent Mike Arnold says, “These properties are in such demand that often homes will change hands among friends or family members before they go up for sale publicly.” So when a beauty like this one comes up, with 145 feet of shoreline and designed for comfort and leisure living, you can be sure it won’t be on the market for very long. Puslinch Lake is that rare combination: both a great vacation destination and ideal year-round bedroom community. Geologically, it’s what’s known as a kettle lake, formed by underground springs during the last Ice Age. The lake also has a colourful history as a tourist spot, and old-timers have great stories to tell about its glory days as a destination glamorous enough to rival Muskoka or upstate New York.

THIS HOME HAS BEEN A LABOUR OF LOVE FOR THE CURRENT OWNER.

But the resorts didn’t completely go bust. Once cars became the main form of commuter travel in Ontario, Puslinch took off. By the 1930s, famous bandleaders like Guy Lombardo regularly performed to dance crowds that sometimes reached 400 people. Some of the grand old resorts still stand today; annual events such

as boat tours, local fairs and other recreational activities offer residents and guests a chance to celebrate the area’s heritage, its current attractions, and just get together and have fun. For nature lovers, there’s plenty to enjoy winter and summer. There are direct connections to miles and miles of Grand River Authorityprotected walking trails, with nearby wetlands and unique local flora and fauna. In summer, there’s great boating on the lake’s exquisite still water; you can sign up for waterski lessons at the McClintock ski school, run by former Olympians. In winter, when the lake freezes over, this closeknit community bands together to create skating trails and other fun community events.

Back in the early 1900s, George Sleeman (yes, of the beer-making family) saw his chance to make a fortune when he financed a streetcar line all the way here from Guelph. He figured that with easy transport, the lake would become a tourist Mecca, improving the value of the family’s holdings of recreational and resort facilities in the area. Alas, it wasn’t to be, and George lost his shirt.

T FOR NATURE LOVERS, THERE’S PLENTY TO ENJOY WINTER & SUMMER.

26 NOVEMBER 2021 ■

his home has been a labour of love for the current owner, a retired landscape contractor and builder, who painstakingly retrofitted and renovated over more than two decades. “Everything to me is about the land and the water,” he says, “so the whole house is oriented towards that.” The home features maintenance-free red metal roofing and rustic board-and-battenstyle siding, while the front entry features a timberframe portico and natural granite walls, materials that are continued throughout the interior, blurring the distinction between indoors and out. Large folding doors and covered verandahs along the lake side allow for outdoor living all summer long, while screened rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows put you close to nature twelve months of the year. “The whole house just has this warm, relaxed feeling,” says Mike. Beautifully landscaped, the property includes no less than three firepits, each with its own distinct character and mood. Exterior lighting throughout has been carefully considered, especially around the pool and hot tub,

making for views that are as romantic by night as by day. One of the home’s many special features is the boathouse, a short walk along the water’s edge from the main house. “It’s the last true boathouse on the lake, originally built in the 1930s,” explains the current owner. “I preserved and restored it, with two-storey living quarters and a spiral staircase. It’s a great place for having friends visit.” The modern, roomy garage features a goodsized workshop and storage for ATVs and other equipment, with living quarters above that feature a fully equipped movie theatre, pool room and play area. The current owner betrays a bit of wistfulness at moving on, but has his eye on a new building project, and knows that this house will be a very special opportunity for a new family. “This is a great community where you can be very social if you want to be, but the lots are big and private if you prefer bit of a quieter lifestyle as well. There’s a lot of variety here.”

IT TRULY IS YEAR-ROUND

And, as Mike Arnold observes, “Puslinch Lake is this well-kept secret just a few minutes away from some of the most populated areas in the country. You come here and you’d swear you were in Muskoka, with this truly beautiful lake dotted with islands in the distance. Yet it’s an easy commute to work in Waterloo, Oakville or Toronto. It truly is year-round cottage living.”

A GENERATIONAL ADDRESS BY DC RUTHERFORD

hen William Botsford Jarvis and his wife, Mary, settled in what would become known as the Rosedale Estate in the early 1800s Canada—and Toronto for that matter—were barely ideas on the periphery of the Commonwealth. So named for its luxurious wild roses that freckled the property, the affluent neighbourhood that grew around it became Rosedale, one of Canada’s most desirable addresses from nearly the moment Mary titled it. It has been preserved by time and landscape, owing its bucolic suburbia to bordering ravines and committed denizens. It is a beautiful anachronism, maintaining its character and singularity as the city and country grew around it. Its architecture and construct are as timeless as its sanctuary, and its newest addition is built upon—and builds upon— the traditions that make Rosedale so unquestionably unique.

30 NOVEMBER 2021 ■

Rosedale will soon add 7 Dale to its traditions. “We wanted to respect the area while borrowing certain elements from it to create something entirely new,” notes Josh Shteiman, VP of Development Operations for Platinum Vista who oversaw the project. “The front facade facing Dale integrates a heritage planter wall that was originally part of the home at 7 Dale. We are also restoring the original teahouse that will be integrated into Janet Rosenberg’s landscape design and become a shared amenity for the residents.” 7 Dale is the culmination of a peerless collaboration between some of Toronto’s most sought-after talents. Siamak Hariri, Allessandro Munge, and Janet Rosenberg are world-renowned artists, whose partnership has resulted in a residence that promises to not just continue Rosedale’s

legacy but define it for a generation. “Each collaborator is at the top of their class in their own right. The cohesion and synergy between the 7 Dale team were impressive. It was almost like a relay race with the baton passed from one person to the other, seamlessly,” says Shteiman.

SIAMAK HARIRI

ALLESSANDRO MUNGE

Hariri is the architect behind some of our most treasured edifices and residences including the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Ontario Pavilion for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and the Richard Ivey School of Business, among others. Munge is one of the world’s preeminent interior designers, boasting work at addresses in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Halifax, though his work and influences are most prominent in Toronto where nearly every part of the cityscape bears his hand. Janet Rosenberg is a peerless landscape architect whose work—built upon a legacy of sustainability, functionality, and respect for nature— adorns Canada’s most precious locales. Together, the three represent a collective that is responsible for the aesthetic of many of our most celebrated cultural landmarks, and 7 Dale is the unique beneficiary of their collaboration. Shteiman adds that Toronto developments “are doing things out of the ordinary [...] 7 Dale has a heavy focus on both design and sustainability. There are many green elements implemented into the residence like the restoration of the ravine and energy efficiency building components—a smart design that fits seamlessly within the neighbourhood, yet offers buyers the opportunity of not compromising on the luxuries they’re used to in their homes.”

JANET ROSENBERG

JOSH SHTEIMAN

7 DALE IS THE CULMINATION OF A PEERLESS COLLABORATION BETWEEN SOME OF TORONTO’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER TALENTS.

The result is truly singular, and yet entirely Toronto, “and this development provides a rare opportunity for people to live in Rosedale without the maintenance or upkeep of living in an older home. We wanted to create residences that offer the luxury of living in a large space in Rosedale that provides the amenities and lifestyle of a high-end hotel/condo. Residents will have access to a first-class spa, gym, yoga studio, and 24-hour executive concierge.” Come Fall 2022, this could be home— the Toronto of yesterday and tomorrow, in the heart of the city. www.7dale.com

Green In The Modern Market By DC Rutherford

bought a house recently, a Craftsman built in 1910 in a rural community. The region is one many of you will find familiar – it’s susceptible to the unpredictable swings of a four-season climate. The polars of stifling summer heat and humidity and crippling winter storms are both what make the area a delight and a challenge. I felt as a 21st-century homeowner it was my civic responsibility to reduce the carbon footprint of my new abode. But where to begin?

My first inclination was to pad my roof with solar panels, build a greenhouse, order some goats, and ensure the integrity of the existing well and septic tank – though this seemed more inclined to apocalyptic fears as opposed to a desire for sustainable living. But the breadth of sustainable practices turned out to be beyond my imagination.

Continuing to explore the possibilities of sustainability within Ontario landscapes is Baldo Gucciardi, CEO and co-founder of International Landscaping Inc. Since ILI’s beginning in the early ’90s, the team has maintained a focus on testing, developing, and adapting sustainable practices in their work. Baldo shared how the team took initiative within the past decade to shift to zero-emissions equipment, which established ILI as “the largest landscape company in Canada to provide electric maintenance services.” It was a landmark achievement for the company, and since that time they have expanded into automated (robotic) service equipment and mobile solar charging stations. ILI encourages and trains their staff to see the value of "green waste" and the debris, leaves, and grass clippings that are gathered in their day-to-day work are composted at their facility and returned back to the sites they service as new rich soil. More recently the ILI team has been developing digital tools for both their teams and clients, which produce metrics that aid in further reducing their carbon footprint.

ILI encourages and trains their staff to see the value of "green waste" and the debris, leaves, and grass clippings that are gathered in their day-to-day work are composted at their facility and returned back to the sites they service as new rich soil. ILI’s Landscape Designer, Sharon Carlson notes, “Sustainability has really grown in terms of the services we offer with zero-emission; all electrical equipment reduces our carbon footprint. It’s more friendly for not only our staff, in terms of the health benefit of reduced noise or not inhaling any fumes or handling gasoline or the fuels, but it’s also better for the clients because they’re not getting any of those fuels in the air.”

Guelph Solar is another GTA-based company whose ambitious approach to sustainability is setting the pace for the industry, led by president Steve Dyck, “a dynamic leader who wants the best for his customers, his employees, our province, and our planet.” Carlson continues, “Some of the [initiatives] that we offer are more eco-conscious and -minded in terms of weed control and winter treatments. On our construction and advancement side, there are lots of different ways that sustainability can apply. Some of the big things are really promoting to our clients using local materials; anything from stone, local wood, local plants, and not just that the plant is grown locally, but also whenever possible using live plant species. In general, they’re more adapted to our environment, our winters and so with that in mind, they can also require a little bit less maintenance, maybe less watering. [And] looking at ways that we can manage water on a site; trying to incorporate ways water can be filtered back into the ground, back into subsurface reservoirs and back into the water table.” Guelph Solar is another GTA-based company whose ambitious approach to sustainability

is setting the pace for the industry, led by president Steve Dyck, “a dynamic leader who wants the best for his customers, his employees, our province, and our planet.” Guelph Solar has been installing solar power since 2009. Dyck and his company are truly dedicated to the community, active in the Citizens Climate Lobby, and he even was a candidate in the 2011 provincial election in Ontario. Whether it is Steve’s commitment to our community by supporting a host of charitable and neighbourhood-building efforts or his passion for making environmentally aware choices, you will find Steve ready to help you go green. Guelph Solar’s holistic approach goes beyond their practical work. They also believe in social responsibility and boast such leading practices as guaranteeing a living wage for employees and contributing to innumerable charitable initiatives.

Some simple construction methods can have an enormous impact on the sustainability and durability of a home or cottage. 48 NOVEMBER 2021 ■

Aaron Miller of HummingbirdHill Homes agrees. The company has been a leader in holistic building in Ontario. “We are both PassiveHouse™ and WELL™ AP certified and work with the leading architectural firms to fuse together stunning architecture with materials and methods that promote health and wellness

Miller also notes, “Some simple construction methods can have an enormous impact on the sustainability and durability of a home or cottage such as mitigating air leakage, transitioning towards renewable energy vs. the burning of oil and gas, optimizing options with glass and orientation of natural light

for both our clients and the environment. We can now measure [the] embodied carbon of different material options and help guide selections that are both costeffective and environmentally friendly.”

that reduce unwanted heat in the summer yet allow this passive heat to warm the space in the winter.”

Planning and longevity are just part of a sustainable living initiative - a tacit understanding of environmental impact is essential to responsible building. Planning and longevity are just part of a sustainable living initiative—a tacit understanding of environmental impact is essential to responsible building. Ashley Smith of Enviroshake, an eco-friendly roofing manufacturer, asserts, “We recognize that demand for cedar roofing is a major factor in deforestation. We are driven to provide a sustainable alternative to natural cedar without sacrificing its timeless beauty. That’s why Enviroshake was formulated using 95% recycled materials to combine the authentic appeal of cedar shakes with the engineered longevity and performance that natural cedar simply can’t match.” Smith adds, “Each Enviroshake roof provides property owners with the peace of mind offered by a market-leading engineered material as well as the knowledge that they have made a stand to protect our planet’s natural resources. Enviroshake roofs also generate significantly less waste than a natural cedar shake roof with a waste factor of typically less than 10%. Compare that with the 20% or higher waste factor of a natural cedar shake roof. Further, water runoff from an Enviroshake roof is nontoxic and even meets WHO drinking water standards. In contrast, the chemicals used to treat natural cedar roofs render their water runoff non-potable.”

and professional services firm focused on water safety, “As alternative housing models are pursued (community housing initiatives, tiny homes, modular homes, etc.), opportunities for communal servicing are available including cluster systems, centralized disposal systems, greywater systems, and more. The sustainability benefit of centralized onsite sewage treatment and disposal versus individual well and septic systems for each home is that the sewage effluent plume can be isolated in one area away from water sources (such as a neighbour's well).”

The scope and breadth of innovation in home sustainability promises the future of our homes and our planet is in good hands. According to Kathryn Stasiuk Riddell of KSR Engineering, an engineering

“Steel and concrete production account for a good percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions (approximately 8% and 7% respectively). While concrete tanks are the fan favourite in many parts of

Ontario, alternate tank materials may offer an overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for new installations. A life-cycle analysis of HDPE (plastic) tanks could be compared to concrete tanks. Plastic septic tanks have not been around as long as concrete though, so we aren’t sure yet if they can last as long as a concrete tank can.” All of which is to say: My understanding of sustainable living was a fraction of what the practice includes. Knowledge is power and I was powerless in my own endeavour to be more sustainable. Educating yourself with the assistance of experienced local business owners is the best way to protect you and your home from whatever the future has to offer.

THE BENEFITS OF LISTING EXCLUSIVELY WITH CAYMAN MARSHALL

ost brokerages advise you to put your property into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system, in order to get it in front of the greatest number of prospective buyers possible. But when it comes to Muskoka property – especially in the current market – that may not be the best, or even most desirable, route for you. Cayman Marshall has a better way to market your property, which not only ensures that only serious, wellqualified buyers view your property, but allows you to maintain your privacy and avoid the stress and hustle of listing with MLS. With a Cayman Marshall exclusive listing, your property will only be visible to members of our proprietary database. Personal viewing appointments are only scheduled after our agents have taken prospective buyers through a careful pre-screening process.

Our system works equally well for buyers. Rather than enduring the “feeding frenzy,” panic-bidding and sometimes, disappointment that accompanies desirable MLS properties, you have the assurance of knowing the property is only being seen by serious, well-qualified prospects like you, and managed exclusively through Cayman Marshall’s offices. The success of our system speaks for itself: since last August, we’ve sold well over $133 million in exclusive sales alone. Allow us to show you the better way to sell your Muskoka property!
