A Model Of The Ideal Golf Lifestyle
By on Oct 17, 2011
Livable luxury sets the tone at Deerhurst Golf Cottages, the new residential opportunity coming soon from Skyline at Deerhurst Resort in breathtaking Muskoka. These are the first new cottages to be offered for sale at Deerhurst. Imagine owning a gorgeous residence on the beautiful Highlands Golf Course for prices beginning from only $399,900! To envision how warm and inviting life here can be, Skyline enlisted The Design Agency to create furniture package options, and to design interior renderings that showcase many of the available features that can help buyers personalize their spaces.
The result is a brilliant marriage of contemporary and rural that bridges generational appeal, with four layouts to choose from. The main living space has a spacious, open ambience with furnishing choices that add both stability and whimsy. “We always try to use local/regional materials in our design to put our spaces within the context or the surrounding. From this concept, we had the idea of using a locally sourced piece of driftwood to form the fireplace mantel which forms an interesting focal point and perfect conversation piece,” Davis says. “The furniture is comfortably formal, and we opted not to add window treatments, to achieve a sunroom feel with unobstructed views of the changing elements. We see these cottages as a primary or secondary home rather than a vacation refuge for old items. It’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining.”
“The key to the décor in these cottages is a play on their context. You know you’re in cottage country, so the design speaks to nature, yet incorporates the warmth and functionality people expect in their home. The furniture and design details are comfortable and not dark.”
The Golf Cottages offer stunning views of the Highlands Golf Course - one of the two courses at Deerhurst, and one of Canada’s finest. Situated in a tranquil spot away from the main resort area, the cottages are also just a stroll or shuttle-bus ride from boating, pools, the beach, spa treatments, skiing, casual and fine dining, world-class shows, tennis courts, hiking trails and even an air strip. Plus, those who purchase at Deerhurst Golf Cottages will also receive a membership buy-in in the SkyLife program, which offers unprecedented access to the amenities at Skyline’s northern and urban properties.
