Windsong Mews

"Windsong Mews".  Stunning country retreat. Main Residence designed by Eb Zeidler is fashioned from more than five century log structures joined by soaring glass galleries.  Dramatic waterfall, garden and nature views from every window.  1840's log cabin sits alongside the pond and meadow with an additional log warming hut for skating.  Sleek 3 bedroom building at entrance designed by Macy Dubois.  3-bay workshop with addition crafted from century old Bracebridge log building.  Extensive trails through the woodlands.

An extraordinary residence conceived by Fred Sayers and designed by Canadian architect Eb Zeidler.  This home is built largely of pre-confederation logs in a more contemporary configuration that allows views to the natural surroundings from every room.

An 1840's log cabin moved from North Bay sits to the west of the house overlooking a pond and garden.

The kitchen is designed for a passionate cook.  The 60" La Cornue stove has both gas and electric burners and ovens.  Twin sub-zeros, a prep sink, warming drawer, French butcher block and microwave complete the work space.  A custom cherry pantry reminiscent of an "Old General Store" and a small wine cellar lets you be ready for any occasion.
