In these heady real estate times, is it still possible to own a luxurious home on a large lot, for a sensible price? Democrat Homes is creating one of the most exclusive and reasonably priced communities in the GTA, just one hour north of the city and perfectly situated between Orillia and Barrie.

Forest Heights Estates offers brick and stone bungalow or two-storey single-family homes on treed ravine lots. These magnificent homes are nestled in nature but surprisingly close to all modern amenities. Life here means that hiking, skiing and golfing are just minutes away; while big box stores, boutiques, restaurants, waterfront, schools, hospitals and a major university are just a short drive away.

Imagine coming home to this scene every night… towering pines and maples, oak trees and white birch dotting the landscape. Here, you breathe in the clean, fresh air as you listen to the sound of serenity, interrupted only by the gentle chirping of birds. Now imagine the home of your dreams framed against the greens and reds and browns of the Simcoe County Forest. Wow! It’s like no other community – a special place that will remain a jewel in the heart of Oro-Medonte for years to come – and limited to a mere 80 lots. Each lot is unique, ranging from a minimum half acre to premium lots approaching three acres of treed magnificence, set on private cul-de-sacs.

Custom elevations

The oversized lots are perfectly complemented by these exclusive homes. Bold brick and brick with stone elevations are dramatically silhouetted against the lush greenery just outside your back door. Democrat Homes’ custom-style elevations feature architecturally refined exteriors, highlighted by high-pitched roofs, classic masonry, decorative columns, and pre-cast detailing (such as key-stones, banding and sills) giving all the homes a majestic stature.

Democrat has raised the bar by offering exceptional standard features, including engineered hardwood floors, nine-ft. ceilings, oak stairs, insulated steel garage doors, upgraded trim and kitchen cabinets, 200-amp service, pot lights, tankless water heaters and more. Democrat wants to set every house apart with a uniqueness and individuality that speaks to your refined taste, bringing elegance and luxury inside every home the company builds.

Classic two- or three-garage bungalows with nine-ft. ceilings, upgraded kitchens and finishes, are sited on sprawling 100-by-200-ft. (minimum) sized lots. These single-level homes range from 1,615 to 2,821 sq. ft. and incorporate large picture windows with ample views of the stunning landscape... of your own backyard.

Other standard features include hardwood flooring, gas fireplace, granite counters, superior ceramics and designer finishes. Whether you just like the one-floor convenience or have it had with climbing stairs, these are the perfect models for you.
But that is only half the story. Discover the unmatched beauty, refinement and elegance of a classic two-storey estate home backing on to an unspoiled ravine. There are six exceptional models to choose from, ranging in size from approximately 2,400 to 3,500 sq. ft., one more beautiful than the other.

These stunners offer high-pitched roofs, two- and three-car garages, large verandas, and distinct windows on their brick and stone exteriors. Step inside to discover sizeable foyers, nine-ft. ceilings (some with vaulted and cathedral treatments), wood, tile and berber carpeted floors, large master bedrooms plus two or three additional generous bedrooms, and so much more. The refined town and country homes have found a perfect placement in picturesque Horseshoe Valley.
