Why do our clients love living in Springwater Township?

Formerly Vespra Township, Springwater Township lies just outside the Barrie city limits to the Northwest.
The communities of Anten Mills, Centre Vespra, Elmvale, Hillsdale, Midhurst, Minesing, Orr Lake, Phelpston, and Snow Valley are found within Springwater. Springwater is a fantastic area to live and raise a family.

Springwater real estate consists mainly of single family dwellings with some homes having basements  finished for extended family members. There are no condominiums or apartments in Springwater. Springwater residents have all the amenities of Barrie just a stones throw away, yet are just outside the city limits enjoying a quiet lifestyle.

A good portion of Springwater is home to estate style homes on larger lots generally 1/2 acre lots or larger. While there is an estate style component to Springwater there is also a significant rural farming area which encompass cute villages such as Minesing, Phelpston and Elmvale. There are many farms that sell their crops while in season at their family owned vegetable stands.



There are four elementary schools in Springwater. Minesing Central Public School, Huronia Centennial Elementary School, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School and Forest Hill P.S. in Midhurst which offers French immersion. High school aged children go to high schools in the north end of Barrie - Barrie North Collegiate, Eastview Secondary School, St Joseph's Catholic High School or Elmvale District High School.

Residents here generally enjoy a more community style of living where you can know and speak to your neighbours. Outdoor living is definitely a huge plus in Springwater township. Hiking trails, mountain biking, snowmobiling, golfing, cycling as well as snow shoe trails and down hill skiing at Snow Valley Ski resort all easily accessible.

Recently there have been some newer developed areas such as Centre Vespra and Midhurst Valley subdivisions, which have the more traditional lot sizes one would find in a city.However, Springwater still maintains that small country lifestyle feel. Every Christmas Eve Santa can still be found driving through the entire township with the help of the Springwater volunteer fire fighters.

The positives of living in Springwater Township is the obvious quality of life found in the township with almost every outdoor activity at your fingertips. Your family will enjoy the privacy larger lots of at least 1/2 acre are will afford. Having lived in Springwater for over 30 years I can honestly say a move to Springwater is one of the best moves you could make.
