Spring is a time of renewal, and a very special season in Horseshoe Valley. Here, residents and visitors alike welcome the arrival of the vernal equinox with a return to traditional open-air activities – from hiking and cycling to sunning, barbecuing and picnicking. Is there a better time to start life anew in a brand-new community?

Democrat Homes is creating an exclusive and sun-splashed community, set in the centre of all the fresh-air excitement. If you love the great outdoors and everything spring has to offer, then bring your family, friends and pets to Forest Heights Estates. This is the place to celebrate renewed life in all its verdant glory.

Incredible lifestyle

Situated just one hour north of Toronto between Orillia and Barrie, Oro-Medonte is just what the doctor ordered, after a long, snowy winter. Forest Heights Estates offers brick and stone bungalow and two-storey single-family homes on treed ravine lots, nestled in nature. The warm-weather lifestyle here is incredible… towering pines and maples, oak trees and white birch dot the landscape. You may breathe in the clean, fresh air as you listen to the sound of serenity, interrupted only by the gentle warbling of returning birds. Now picture the home of your dreams framed against the greens, reds and browns of the Simcoe County Forest.

Whether your fancy turns to newly sprouted greenery or a spring-shopping-fling, it’s all right here. Forest Heights Estates is surprisingly close to the modern amenities your consumer side craves. Parks, recreational facilities and woodland trails… rub elbows with big box stores, boutiques, restaurants, waterfront, schools, hospitals and a major university – all just a short walk or drive away.

To match the stunning natural – and often lush and flowery – beauty of nature’s bounty, Democrat has raised the bar by offering exceptional standard features, bringing elegance and luxury inside every home they build. Incredible standards include 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.

Uniqueness and individuality

Democrat wants to set every house apart with a uniqueness and individuality that will reflect your inimitable and superior taste.
Bold brick, and brick with stone elevations are dramatically silhouetted against the green, leaf-covered woods, just outside your back door. Democrat Homes’ custom-style elevations feature architecturally refined exteriors, which include high-pitched roofs, classic masonry, decorative columns and pre-cast detailing (such as key-stones, banding and sills) giving every model a regal stature.

Each lot is unique in size and appearance, ranging from a minimum half acre to premium lots on private cul-de-sacs that approach three acres of treed beauty. Classic two- or three-garage bungalows with nine-ft. ceilings, upgraded kitchens and finishes, 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 prefer the one-floor convenience or have had it with climbing stairs, these are the perfect models for you.

Unmatched beauty

Of course, who can argue with the unmatched beauty, refinement and elegance of a classic two-storey estate home – especially in Forest Heights? The refined town-and-country homes have found a perfect placement in picturesque Horseshoe Valley.

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 sizable 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. There are six exceptional models to choose from, ranging in size from approximately 2,400 to 3,500 sq. ft., each one more beautiful than the other.

Forest Heights is a real neighbourhood with fantastically fit empty-nesters and forever young families coming together in a celebration of fine living and fabulous surroundings. All homeowners will enjoy convenient direct access from Horseshoe Valley Road. And the homes are perfectly situated on a quiet main street as well as several one-of-a-kind cul-de-sacs.

Truly exclusive

Democrat wants Forest Heights to be the place you choose for now and forever. It’s like no other community and the limited 80 lots make it truly exclusive. It is a special place that will remain a jewel in the heart of Oro-Medonte for years to come.
