Wauupos East

It’s one thing to have a dream house. But it’s really what happens- and what is offered- beyond the four walls of a property that creates that intangible infrastructure around lifestyle. What’s a day in the life like? How might you begin your day? What experiences await? What sights, sounds and aromas will draw you out? What memories will you make?

Where you live is fundamental to how you live. That’s why this dreamy home (and additional beach house), located on a long stretch of sand beach, is marvellous and magical, because of what it is- and where is- that offers opportunity for a richness of living.

With sweeping waterfront vistas, this expansive, resort-style home brings new context to lakeside living. And it is located close to all the sensory delights that Prince Edward County avails.

It’s worth noting that these compelling qualities are alluring for homeowners who plan to live in this sweet abode- and for homeowners that hope to rent it out in the robust PEC rental market: proximity to an incredible host of amenities, that offer the unique and coveted lifestyle that can only be found in Prince Edward County.

Benefits of living close to the water

Living on (on near) the water isn’t just about incredible scenery (although that is definitely a benefit). There are numerous studies on the mental and physical health benefits of living in proximity to the water. The gentle sound of the water and the lapping of the waves. The gentle breezes rolling offshore. The sense of greater well-being being surrounded by calm influences. It’s not surprising to learn that living near water has been proven to lower blood pressure, improve sleep quality, lower stress and also offer a number of mental health benefits.

And when these benefits exist beyond your own front door, because lakefront living is simply part of you
