This would include Arthur Road, Huyck’s Point Road, County Road 27 and Bakker Road, from the point where they are “unimproved” to the terminus of the roads.

The selling agent says the owners, who built the property, are all about going green and energy efficiency.

“STAs are difficult to get in the county,” said Ninkovic. Near the calm, quiet waterfront with a dock, and connected to Lake Ontario, the home is great for fishing, canoeing, swimming, and a number of water activities. Ninkovic says with one walk-in closet off the main floor, there is room to build more storage space. With insulate concrete forms (ICF), the building’s foundation used interlocking foam bricks in the saltwater pool and the property’s walls. Ninkovic said this house would be a perfect fit for a Toronto individual or couple looking for a modern getaway from the city, or a family with kids looking for a home with lots of room to grow. Catered to efficient-driven people, those who don’t have as “many little luxuries and clothes,” said Ninkovic, the home has a unique floor plan that can be transformed to a more accessible design for families who need certain attributes of the house for functionality, said Ninkovic.
