New release of two-storey homes and bungalows at Forest Heights Estates in picturesque Horseshoe Valley

There is great excitement just a one-hour drive north of Toronto in a tree-filled, estate lot community from Democrat Homes. These brick and stone homes sit on minimum half-acre lots, backing onto woods or lush green space, with convenient access from Horseshoe Valley Road.Each home is designed to fit beautifully into the natural surroundings and offer nine-foot main floor ceilings, large picture windows, upgraded doors and trim and minimum two-car garages. The luxury continues through each model, from the 1,615-square-foot three-bedroom Horseshoe bungalow model to the stunning, three-car garage, two-storey 3,552-square-foot Pinespring residence.The five bungalow designs feature high pitch roofs, open concept layouts with large kitchens and family rooms, vaulted and cathedral ceilings and traditional gas fireplaces.The three larger-than-life two-storey homes offer the perfect mix of large family spaces with undeniable country lavishness. The four-bedroom 3,057-square-foot Briarwood model offers a spacious foyer leading past formal living and dining rooms, to the gourmet kitchen with a large island, breakfast area, and ample family room overlooking a private treed backyard.Upstairs there's plenty of room for a growing family with multiple bedrooms, a large main bath and two well-appointed ensuites. The 19-foot master bedroom is a balance of comfort and sumptuousness with — not one — but two walk-in closets. The exterior B Elevation is a masterful fusion of brick and stone, which extends through the big front porch and all three adjacent garages.This one-of-a-kind community is nestled in the Horseshoe Highlands, just minutes from the ski hills and with direct access to walking trails, natural parkland and the family-friendly great outdoors. But the great thing is that big-city amenities are a short 10 to 15 minute drive away in either Barrie or Orillia. It's your choice. Shopping, entertainment, culture, universities, churches and hospitals are all handily close by.The Grand Opening of Forest Heights Estates is slated for May 2018. Prices start from the low 700,000s.DEMOCRAT HOMESForest Heights EstatesGo online to register or contact sales manager Mark Palumbo at Mark@DemocratHomes.com.705.835.0354DemocratHomes.com
