Lake Simcoe Waterfront Home Built by Its Owners Listed in Oro-Medonte

ORILLIA, Ontario - Sept. 8, 2026 - PRLog -- ORO-MEDONTE, ONTARIO — A Lake Simcoe waterfront home built by the people who still live in it has come to market on Woodland Drive, offered turnkey at $1,955,000 under MLS® S13743864.

797 Woodland Drive sits on over 110 feet of Lake Simcoe shoreline. It was built by its current owners in 2011 and designed by Kimberley Morris Interior Design, and they have lived in it since.

The great room faces east across the lake, so the sunrise arrives through floor-to-ceiling glass. The staircase was deliberately built out of sight of that room, so the vaulted volume reads as one uninterrupted space. A natural gas fireplace sits on the left wall.

The home offers more than 2,700 square feet with three bedrooms, including a main-floor primary suite with the lake in the window, plus a media room and a home office. A cedar deck with a covered overhang runs off the main floor, with a gas line run to it for barbecuing through the winter. Below it, a broad lawn runs down to a shallow, sheltered bay, rocky at the edge, sand beyond, and wadeable from shore.

That shoreline is the detail most likely to matter. Much of the Lake Simcoe waterfront market drops off quickly into deep water. A shallow, sheltered entry is what families with young children look for and rarely find, and no renovation can create it.

"An owner-built home carries decisions nobody made to a budget," said Bill Jackson, Sales Representative with the Lake Country Real Estate Team at eXp Realty, Brokerage. "The orientation, the ceiling height, where they put the staircase. You can see them when you walk through it."
