Set on the pristine shores of Balsam Lake, Elysian Fields Estate is a privately positioned, award-winning compound designed for buyers who value architectural excellence, complete privacy, and a legacy property that performs in every season.

The Residence Eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms across a landmark design that integrates natural stone, warm timber, and panoramic glass. The great room commands unobstructed lake views. A chef's kitchen, private lounge and entertainment suite, spa-inspired bathrooms, and a state-of-the-art gym complete the interior — every detail considered, nothing left wanting. The Grounds 1.81 acres of manicured, fully private land. 143 feet of prime Balsam Lake waterfront. A private boathouse and docks. A full helicopter landing zone with adjacent hangar and pilot's quarters. Outdoor dining, a lakeside firepit lounge, and located at the end on a dead-end street, where the only traffic is a dear passing by. The Infrastructure Fibre internet. Whole-property generator. Year-round mechanical systems. Built for families and executives who require connectivity, security, and reliability — not seasonal compromise. The Location Less than two hours from Toronto Pearson Airport. Balsam Lake offers calm, navigable water, a strong year-round boating culture, and natural surroundings that Muskoka's most trafficked lakes can no longer deliver. The estate sits at the intersection of accessibility and genuine seclusion. A Statement Asset Properties of this calibre — combining architectural pedigree, aviation infrastructure, waterfront scale, and complete privacy — are seldom available in Canada. Elysian Fields Estate is a generational acquisition for the buyer who has earned the right to choose without compromise. Private showings available by appointment.

Majestic grizzly bears arrive to feast, tromping along pebble shores or wading into the water, stirring salmon from the riverbed. Watching grizzlies feed in their natural habitat is a humbling experience—mothers with playful cubs splash in the water while bald eagles soar overhead, searching for scraps. Here, surrounded by the pristine Canadian wilderness, you’ll feel the profound silence where every footstep and every ripple of water is heard, making each moment unforgettable. Property Operations The property is situated roughly 35 miles off the power grid, offering a rare blend of remote living, environmental sustainability, and high-end comfort that few ever get to experience. Living off-grid is one thing—doing so in an eco-conscious, luxurious way is another entirely. The foundation of this lifestyle is full control over energy production. The retreat has accomplished this with a cutting-edge solar power system, which was upgraded in 2022 to double its capacity to 25 kW. The system includes all-new control room electronics, advanced inverters, and a 320-cell lithium battery bank capable of powering the property for up to two days. For added reliability, both a primary and backup generator are in place to ensure continuous power during extended periods without sunlight. The power system supports a wide range of demands, including high-capacity refrigeration, all household electrical needs, a large-scale lawn irrigation system, and 220V service for a full woodworking shop. Heating for the homes is provided through a combination of wood stoves and propane furnaces, while propane also powers the clothes dryers and in-line water heaters. To ensure long-term reliability, the property includes 2,500 gallons of on-site propane storage. Region and Climate The Chilcotin, a vast and untouched wilderness in central British Columbia, stretches across approximately 2.6 million hectares—more than twice the combined size of Banff and Jasper National Parks. Its sheer scale and unspoiled beauty can be overwhelming for first-time visitors, yet it’s exactly this raw, expansive nature that captivates them. At the heart of this remarkable region lies the Chilko Valley, along with its lake and river system—the crown jewel of the Chilcotin. Chilko Lake is Canada’s largest alpine lake and is nothing short of breathtaking. Stretching 50 miles long and plunging to depths of 1,100 feet, it is encircled by towering, glacier-capped mountains reaching 10,000 feet. Fed by glacial and snowmelt waters, the lake is so pure that locals often drink straight from it and its tributaries. Its striking cerulean blue hue and untouched beauty are truly mesmerizing—so much so that a provincial park was established in 1994 to protect its pristine condition. Location The Eye of the Grizzly is located in the heart of British Columbia’s West Chilcotin region, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Coastal Mountain Ranges, wide-open ranch lands, tranquil meadows, and pristine alpine lakes. This remote wilderness feels worlds away—untouched and serene—yet it’s surprisingly accessible for those who know the way. Most travel by plane either through a charter service in Vancouver directly into a small private airstrip near the property, or through commercial flights by way of Williams Lake, BC, followed by a 3 hour scenic drive to the property.
