Ditch the busy city life and discover a personal retreat located just two hours outside of Toronto. Nestled above the ground and surrounded by forestry, nortehaus is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom haven that draws inspiration from nature’s perfect balance of sharp lines and curved flows. Created by architectural firm MAFCOHouse and built by CDH Carpentry, nortehaus combines Japanese-inspired minimalism with a Nordic sense of hygge. Cook a big brunch, enjoy a cold plunge in the river, or indulge in a relaxing self-care session in a soaker tub. This high-end indoor-outdoor living space is sure to rejuvenate the spirits.
