2968 Monarch Drive, Orillia

This is the move people are making when they want more space and less chaos. This brand-new bungalow by the award-winning Dreamland Homes, is tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Orillia's fastest-growing communities. The Ridgewood Elevation A - 40 ft x 147 ft extra-deep lot is the kind you rarely see in new builds and gives you real backyard space, not just grass between fences. Inside, 1,851 sq. ft. with 9 ft ceilings on both levels makes the home feel open and airy the moment you walk in. Over $45,000 in upgrades including hardwood floors, upgraded tile, and a clean, modern kitchen with quartz counters, upgraded cabinets, backsplash, and stainless steel hood range. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a primary suite with walk-in closet and ensuite built for real, day-to-day living. Walking trails and a future parkette sit right across the street, with Walter Henry Park nearby. Minutes to Costco, shopping, Lakehead University, and easy highway access. Orillia is growing fast, evolving into a connected, full-service city while still holding onto the small-town feel people are craving. This is where owning a home still feels possible. Where you can get space, build a life, and still be within reach of Toronto, close to Muskoka weekends, and surrounded by nature instead of congestion.
