Hidden behind towering trees in the Southshore Woods neighbourhood of Innisfil is a contemporary waterfront home that is a true sanctuary for both relaxation and entertaining.
Situated on Lake Simcoe, 880 Shoreview Drive is a custom-built home by the original owners that has three structures across 3.4 acres of land with 280 feet of private waterfront shoreline. Recently listed for $12,900,000, the elegant property pops amongst the greenery with its pristine white shiplap exterior.
The interior of the main structure features soaring ceilings, wood accents, in-floor heating and large windows providing picturesque views of nature from every room. It has four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and multiple spaces to host.
Whether you enter the home through the main entrance or mudroom, everyone visiting will have a memorable first impression. The mudroom corridor, attached to a two-car garage, is an unforgettable walk that feels like a palace hallway with a dark wood vaulted ceiling lined with chandeliers. The primary entrance takes you to the main living area with the option to go upstairs or into the basement, which has its own theatre room.
The home’s spectacular mudroom and entrance
The main living space is ideal for entertaining with access to a screened-in porch, allowing guests to easily flow in and out. Its wood burning fireplace, with a stone mantel, brings that cozy campfire feel indoors no matter the season.
Specs
The space also connects to the gourmet kitchen, which is a cook’s dream with two islands, one for prep and the other for seating. It features premium appliances and ample storage with direct views of the water.
Inside-outside living on the screened-in porch
The second floor features bedrooms that reach extraordinary heights with vaulted ceilings and large windows for a bird’s eye view of the property. The primary suite is a haven that resembles a spa. Position yourself in front of the gas fireplace or escape to the ensuite designed to amplify relaxation. With a clawfoot soaking tub positioned next to a window so you can daydream, a walk-in waterfall shower, an elegant chandelier and vanity with a seated make-up station, you won’t ever want to leave the primary bath. Also attached to the ensuite is a larger than life closet that carries a similar aesthetic to house’s other rooms.

Our Favourite Thing
While every inch of 880 Shoreview Drive is designed for luxurious lakefront living, it’s the boathouse and its west-facing waterfront that truly steal the show. Nestled at the edge of the property’s private 280 feet of shoreline, this peaceful perch offers direct lake access and front-row seats to some of Lake Simcoe’s most stunning sunsets. At the end of the day, you can have every frill a multi-million dollar house can offer, but it’s the lakeside living that will always steal the show.

For those working from home and who prefer not to mix business with pleasure, the 4,000 sq. ft detached shop on the property creates that balance. The space, also suitable for a hobbyist, has everything needed to conduct business with an office, boardroom, kitchenette and bathroom. It can even fit an RV or boat in the garage below.
The outdoor area is reminiscent of a resort. It has a sports court ideal for basketball players and pickleball or tennis enthusiasts, a putting green and an in-ground pool. By the lake is a boathouse that fits two watercraft, which has north and west-facing views sure to inspire a new evening routine as it offers an uninterrupted scene of the setting sun colouring the sky. After the sun disappears, you can light a fire and experience just how peaceful the property is with the only sounds being that of the crackling flames and wildlife.
For those wanting to immerse in the area, the home is situated by hiking trails, dog parks, beaches and a short drive to the Snow Valley Ski Resort. Nearby Highway 400 offers access to Toronto’s core in about an hour and half along with the nearby Barrie GO South station.
