Hills, a river and open land
Not every escape needs a lake. In the hills of Mulmur, an hour and three-quarters from Toronto, River Road Retreat sits on five private acres with a waterfall and a river running the length of the back of the property. It is a house for slowing down: designed, the owners say, as a spa-like getaway, and completely renovated from top to bottom.
Upstairs, the living room has a wood-burning fireplace, quality furnishings and views to the gardens, and is made for a book and the sound of the river. The kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances, and the dining table seats 12. A family room with a large TV looks out to the pond.
The sauna and the pond
In the woods, a cedar barrel sauna waits. A short walk away, the large swimming pond has its own dock: heat, then a plunge, then a chair in the garden. Downstairs, a workout space has yoga mats and a Peloton bike.
Three bedrooms
The primary bedroom has a king bed and a three-piece ensuite. On the lower level are two queen bedrooms, beside the four-piece main bathroom. The beds have quality mattresses and fine linens, and at night you fall asleep to the river.
The grounds
Flower gardens surround the house. A side porch is set up for cooking and dining with a view of the pond, and there is a fire pit for the evening. Along the river are several places to sit, watch the water, or drop in a line. The house is on a year-round road and is as handsome under snow as it is in July.
