Canada Housing Market

A luxury home just outside Barrie has hit the market for nearly $2.7 million, and the backyard might be the biggest reason people stop scrolling.

Located at 4 Walter James Parkway in Springwater’s Snow Valley community, the custom executive bungalow is currently listed for $2,699,000.

The home has 4+1 bedrooms, five bathrooms and between 2,500 and 3,000 square feet of above-ground living space, but it is what sits behind the house that really makes the property stand out.

We’re talking about a saltwater pool with a waterfall, hot tub, covered outdoor living space, pool house with its own bar and even an outdoor shower.

Basically, the backyard looks more like a private resort than a typical suburban property.

The Backyard Has A Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub And Pool House

The listing describes the outdoor space as a “resort-inspired backyard,” and it definitely lives up to that description.

The property includes a saltwater swimming pool complete with a waterfall, surrounded by extensive stonework and landscaped outdoor space.

There is also a hot tub, plus a covered porch fitted with automatic screens so the outdoor area can be used more comfortably throughout the warmer months.

And instead of simply having a cabana beside the pool, this home comes with a dedicated pool house with its own bar.

There is even a separate two-piece bathhouse and an outdoor shower.

For anyone who spends Ontario summers entertaining outside, it is essentially a full backyard vacation setup without having to leave home.

Inside, The Home Is Just As Over-The-Top

The luxury details continue indoors.

The main living room features a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace and custom built-ins, along with large windows overlooking the backyard.

The kitchen includes a large centre island, statement lighting, a beverage station and Thermador appliances, while the adjoining dining area is wrapped in windows beneath another vaulted ceiling.

There is also a main-floor office with custom cabinetry overlooking the backyard.

The primary bedroom comes with a walkout, custom closet system and spa-style ensuite featuring heated floors, a glass shower, soaker tub and double vanity.

Two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom are located on the main floor.

There’s Also An Entire Upper-Level Retreat

The home is technically listed as a 1.5-storey property, with the upper floor functioning almost like its own private retreat.

Upstairs is a large fourth bedroom, media and seating area, walk-in closet and four-piece bathroom.

That gives the home additional separation for guests, older kids or anyone who wants a more private section of the house.

The Basement Includes A Separate In-Law Suite

The finished lower level adds even more living space.

According to the listing, the basement includes a self-contained in-law suite with its own separate entrance, bedroom, dining area, living room and full bathroom.

The rest of the lower level includes a recreation room with another gas fireplace, a food and beverage station, wet bar, gym and additional full bathroom.

So despite the official 2,500-to-3,000-square-foot figure referring to the above-ground space, the property offers significantly more usable living space once the finished basement is included.

Even The Garage Has Luxury Features

It isn’t just the main house and backyard that received upgrades.

The attached heated garage comes with two vehicle lifts, polyaspartic flooring and built-in storage.

Other features listed for the property include automatic blinds, a hard-wired alarm and camera system, Cat-6 wiring, irrigation and hard-surface flooring throughout the home.

The house is also relatively new, with Realtor.ca listing its age as between zero and five years old.

The Property Sits On Nearly Half An Acre

The home is located in Cameron Estates in Snow Valley, part of the Township of Springwater just northwest of Barrie.

The property sits on a lot listed as being under half an acre, with plenty of the space dedicated to the extensive backyard amenities.

Annual property taxes are listed at approximately $8,164.

At $2.699 million, this certainly isn’t an average Ontario home.

But between the saltwater pool, waterfall, hot tub, pool house, outdoor shower, in-law suite, gym and heated garage with vehicle lifts, it is also packing in a pretty unusual list of features.
