Description
Borchardt Lookout is a bold, modern escape in Lions Head, tucked high in the forest with a stunning rooftop terrace. Inside, enjoy sun-filled open living, floor-to-ceiling windows, a cozy fireplace, designer kitchen and dining area, restful bedrooms, and a spa-style bath with double vanity and glass shower. Step onto the elevated deck for coffee among the trees, then explore nearby Bruce Trail hikes, Lion’s Head Lookout, beaches, and Georgian Bay. Quiet, private and perfect for year-round stays.
Space
The main level is open-concept and filled with natural light thanks to expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows. The living area offers plush leather seating and a cozy fireplace that makes the space feel warm and inviting year-round. Whether you’re coming back from a day on the trails or settling in for a slow morning coffee, this is the heart of the home.
The kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly from the living space, making it easy to cook, snack, or gather for meals. Expect a sleek, modern setup with stainless appliances, generous prep space, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Bedrooms are calm and minimalist with soft textures, modern lighting, and peaceful forest views—perfect for deep, quiet sleeps after outdoor adventure. The bathroom continues the spa-like feel with a double vanity, contemporary finishes, and a glass walk-in shower.
Outside, you’ll find multiple places to unwind in the fresh peninsula air. An elevated deck sits among the treetops, and a spiral staircase leads to the rooftop terrace—a true highlight of the home. Up there, it’s all canopy, open sky, and sunsets through the trees. Ideal for stargazing, reading, or sipping a drink above it all.
Borchardt Lookout is equal parts modern comfort and natural escape—quiet, private, and beautifully connected to its surroundings.
Neighborhood
The neighbourhood around Borchardt Road is especially peaceful and wooded, with homes tucked among mature trees and very little traffic. It feels private and secluded, offering a true “in the forest” experience, yet remains close to everything that makes Lion’s Head such a special place. It’s an ideal balance of convenience and calm, where evenings are quiet and nights are dark and star-filled.
Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Lion’s Head for its exceptional hiking and water access. The Bruce Trail runs through the area and leads to the famous Lion’s Head Lookout, one of Ontario’s most iconic cliffside hikes, offering sweeping views over Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment. Beyond the main trails, you’ll find forest paths, shoreline walks, hidden swim spots, and excellent kayaking and paddling areas. In summer, the water is clear and inviting; in cooler months, the trails remain beautiful and uncrowded.
The village itself is small and charming, with a marina, public beach, and a handful of casual cafés, bakeries, and local eateries. Lion’s Head is low-key and friendly, more focused on nature and downtime than nightlife. Tobermory and other Bruce Peninsula highlights are an easy day trip, allowing you to explore widely and return to the quiet comfort of Lion’s Head at the end of the day.
It’s a place that invites you to slow down, step outside, and enjoy the simple rhythm of life on the peninsula.
