SOLD! Found just 22 minutes from Hwy 11, nestled among the trees on 6+ acres of private forest is this 1900 SQ FT year-round home or country retreat.

The Primary Bedroom also has Patio Sliders leading to the wood-fired Sauna building, while the other 2 bedrooms have fun loft spaces! The large bathroom offers a NEW soaker tub and a separate custom shower. NEW top of the line hot water on demand system (owned), provides your hot water to the kitchen, bathroom and main floor laundry, all while keeping you cozy in the cold months via in-floor radiant heat. Being built on a slab, with no basement, and the general design of the house provides a naturally cool home in the summer, too. Spend your down-time relaxing in the 60-ft screened Muskoka Room spanning the length of the house, and leading into the detached garage. The garage is the home of a 27×26 workshop and 24×13 office/studio on the 2nd floor (all heated with a force air propane furnace).

Solar panels can be found on the garage roof (valued at $45,000+ investment), feeding hydro back to the grid… making $$$ on those wonderful sunny days!
