A custom home responds not only to the taste and lifestyle of its owners, but also to the
AUTOMOWER® 450X/450XH environment that surrounds it. Here in Southern Georgian Bay, that environment could
not be more beautiful, spanning from the lake to the escarpment and ready to be enjoyed
in all seasons.
On a sunny day in February, nearly 400 guests arrived to tour the eight custom homes
found within these pages, and meet the talented experts who design, build and sell these
homes. It was so exciting to bring the OUR HOMES experience to life for the first time. Of
course, we captured photos of each home to share with you, too!
AUTOMOWER® 430X
In this special edition, you’ll find inspiration to embrace custom living in your own
home – whether that means giving your living room a refresh or embarking on your own
long-awaited build. We’ve also profiled the architects, interior designers, realtors and
builders who can help bring your vision to life. We hope you have all the tools you need.
A massive thank you to our sponsors – The Kitchen, Occasions Food Hall, Thornbury
