Lot 23
The lowest way in
At $250,000 plus HST, Lot 23 is the least expensive way to own ground at Deerhurst Highlands. It is also a straightforward rectangle, 25 metres by 63, which is about the most efficient shape a lot can be to build on, and the flatter ground brings the build rate down to $565 per square foot plus HST.

What we would build here
A regular lot is not a lesser lot. Nothing is wasted on working around a difficult boundary, which means more of your budget goes into the house itself rather than into the site work needed to make it fit.
Twenty-five metres takes a two-car garage and a proper front entry side by side without the two competing, and 63 metres of depth leaves real ground behind the house. If you are building your first home in Muskoka, or you want the money in the finishes rather than in the land, this is the lot to look at first.
Construction on Lot 23 runs at approximately $565 per square foot plus HST, which is below our usual rate. The ground here is flatter than the other three, so the build needs significantly less sitework and backfill, and that saving goes to you rather than into the ground. Most people build around 2,000 square feet, which is roughly $1.13 million plus HST for the build alone. The lot is a separate purchase, so Lot 23 at $250,000 plus a build of that size puts a finished home at about $1.38 million plus HST all in.
The grade also suits a slab-on-grade house. Built that way the rate drops to $535 per square foot plus HST, which on a 2,000 square foot home takes roughly $60,000 off the build. You give up the lower level, so it comes down to whether you want that space, but on this lot it is a genuine choice rather than a compromise forced by the ground.

The rebate is a maximum, not a promise: what you receive depends on the value of the home and on your own eligibility. Confirm with your own lawyer and accountant.
Up to $130,000 back in HST
Lot 23 is the lot where the rebate does the most work. Buy it and build with Fuller before March 31, 2027, and you may be eligible for up to $130,000 in combined federal and provincial relief on a new primary residence. The full amount applies on eligible homes up to $1.5 million and phases down above that. Lot 23 is the one lot of the four where a typical build lands under that line, at about $1.38 million all in, so the full amount is genuinely in reach here rather than partly phased out. What you actually receive still depends on the final value of your build and on your own eligibility.
The date that counts is the day the agreement is signed, not the day you move in. On a custom home, design and pricing usually run several months ahead of anything there is to sign, so the point at which you need to start is well before the deadline.
