House Meaford (Canada)
Some properties simply have it all. 47 Vera Street is one of them — a stunning Georgian Bay waterfront home that effortlessly serves as a full-time residence, a four-season cottage retreat, and a ski chalet all wrapped into one extraordinary address. Whether you're drawn by the water, the seasons, or the lifestyle, this home delivers without compromise. Set along the pristine shores of Georgian Bay, this stately property commands 68.54 feet of coveted waterfront on a rare and expansive 272-foot deep private lot — a depth that is nearly unheard of along this shoreline, and one that creates a genuine sense of arrival, privacy, and space that simply cannot be replicated. Here, the calming, ever-changing rhythm of the Bay sets the pace of daily life. Enveloped by mature trees, a natural stream, and perennial gardens in full seasonal bloom, this is a sanctuary that feels worlds apart from the every day — yet sits mere moments from the charm of Meaford's vibrant downtown, the beloved Meaford Harbour, and Memorial Park. Step inside through a gracious foyer anchored by a sweeping staircase, and you'll immediately sense the elegance and warmth that defines every room. The main floor unfolds thoughtfully and with purpose. The formal dining room is framed by new patio doors (2024) that open directly onto the expansive deck, where the Bay stretches out before you as the world's finest backdrop for dinner parties or lazy Sunday mornings alike. The living room is the true heart of the home — a new picture window (2025) frames breathtaking, unobstructed water views while a new Valor gas fireplace (2024) fills the space with warmth and ambiance in equal measure. This is the room you'll never want to leave. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a sun-drenched breakfast area with its own coveted Bay view, and opens further into a cozy family room anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace — the kind of inviting, unhurried space where evenings stretch on beautifully and memories are made. A well-appointed main-floor office (easily repurposed as an overflow bedroom for guests), a dedicated laundry room, a 3-piece bath, and convenient inside access to the 2-car garage complete the practical and polished main level. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and a well-appointed 4-piece bath provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike. The primary suite is nothing short of spectacular — a true private retreat featuring walk-in closets, a gas fireplace for cozy evenings, and a spa-like ensuite complete with a jetted jacuzzi tub. This is a space designed for rest, renewal, and the simple pleasure of waking up to Georgian Bay outside your window. Step outside, and the story comes fully alive. A fire pit, a dedicated shoreline deck, and lovingly manicured gardens lead you gently to the water's edge, where sunrises over the Bay become part of your daily routine rather than a rare occasion. A dedicated gas line for the BBQ makes alfresco dining and entertaining effortless — summer evenings here are simply magical. With ample parking and the reliability of full municipal services and natural gas, the foundation of this property is as solid as its spectacular setting. And then there's the peace of mind that comes with everything being done. A full suite of major updates completed in 2025 — including a new A/C with Ecobee smart thermostat, high-efficiency furnace, on-demand hot water system, refrigerator, and washer/dryer — means this is a truly turnkey waterfront retreat, ready to welcome its next chapter the moment you arrive. For those who prefer to add their own personal imprint over time, the bones, the setting, and the systems are all in place to make that vision effortless. Four seasons of Georgian Bay living await: kayaking and paddleboarding at your doorstep in summer, the blazing colours of autumn reflecting off the water, world-class skiing at Blue Mountain just a short drive away in winter, and the gentle awakening of the shoreline each spring. This is not just a home — it is a lifestyle, and it is waiting for you. 47 Vera Street. Waterfront. Turnkey. Timeless.
