Homes and ownership
Watermark combines private homes with shared condominium elements
Watermark’s 174 custom-built detached bungalows and two-storey homes were designed around accessibility, aging in place and main-floor living. Buyers should assess the individual home and the condominium documents as two parts of the same purchase.
Evaluate the home
- Main-floor bedroom, bathroom and laundry arrangement.
- Finished lower-level space and future mobility needs.
- Mechanical systems, renovations, roof, windows and drainage.
- Lot position, privacy, sun exposure and relationship to common elements.
Review the condominium
Watermark is organized as Dufferin Vacant Land Condominium Corporation No. 22. Some roads and parking areas are condominium common elements.
Review the current status certificate, declaration, bylaws, rules, budget, reserve-fund information, insurance and notices with your lawyer.

Shared community centre
A social and recreation hub for residents
Watermark’s 9,300-square-foot Community Centre includes a fitness gym, party room, theatre, craft rooms, library, billiards room and central mail pickup area, with resident social and recreation programming.
The centre is an important part of Watermark’s community culture. Buyers should tour it and confirm current facilities, access, schedules, programming and rules rather than relying only on listing descriptions.
Monora Park
A strong nearby nature and trail connection
The Town of Mono describes Monora Park as a 40-acre natural park with 18 kilometres of marked trails, a picnic shelter, gazebo, open playing field, pond and pavilion.
Trail access
Town information identifies both the Monora Park trail system and the Watermark Trail, making nearby walking and nature a meaningful lifestyle feature.
Four-season assessment
Visit in the conditions that matter to you. Consider trail surfaces, seasonal maintenance, parking, winter access and the routes you expect to use.
West-side Strathmore Way
Some homes on the west side have park-facing or park-adjacent rear exposure. Exact boundaries, access, privacy and views are property-specific.
Location and daily life
Near Orangeville, but mainly car-oriented
Watermark’s Mono setting offers quick driving access to Orangeville and Highway 10. Walking to downtown Orangeville amenities is not practical, so the location is best understood as car-oriented.
Plan the regular drives
Map your likely trips to groceries, pharmacies, medical appointments, downtown restaurants, family, recreation and the GTA. Test those routes at the times and in the seasons that matter to you.
Use the right walkability test
Walking within the community and nearby Monora Park is the more relevant pedestrian experience. For downtown Orangeville shopping, dining and services, plan on driving.

★★★★★
I recently purchased and sold a house, all through Kevin Flaherty Home Selling System Team. I was very impressed with the way Kevin operates. He is very efficient, very professional, and he and his great team know to how sell a house. My house was sold in 4 days , with 17 showings and 7 offers for $50,000 over my asking when other homes for sale in my area and price range have been sitting for 6 months to a year. He does not waste any time and in my opinion, Kevin and his team are second to none when it comes to marketing homes. With the online showing technology they use, I believe my home was exposed faster and to more people. I would highly recommend Kevin and this team.Fay McCrea
★★★★★
It gives me great pleasure to recommend Kevin Flaherty and his team for any of your real estate needs. When you hire Kevin you not only get a professional realtor with over 30 years of experience, he brings with him an entire marketing team. Kevin looked after everything for my family, he completely removed the stress of selling and buying a home. Kevins experience and marketing team was able to sell my home over asking price in one day. The house was sold before it even went on MLS. We did not have to go through open houses or multiple viewings. Kevin completely removed the stress for myself and family. It does not end there, after the home sold Kevin is still continuing to work with me through closing dates that were convenient for me. I highly recommend that you view the professional videos that his team produces that are located on his website. They are amazing. Thank You for everything Kevin!!!!Brian Masulka
★★★★★
This is the future of how we will buy and sell our homes. Friendly, professional with the best online representation of homes anywhere. They give realistic evaluations on what a home should sell for not just some number pulled out of thin air. And they back up everything they say with actual documented facts. The Flaherty team is simply the bestGregory Herzog
