Imagine turning off the main road & feeling the pace of everything begin to soften. The trees close in gently, the air feels quieter, and by the time you arrive at this nearly 3-acre Calabogie home, it already feels like somewhere you were meant to be. Morning starts slowly here. Coffee on the deck. Mist lifting from the water. Birds moving through the trees. Just across the road, approx. 100 ft of licensed shoreline invites you down the newly built stairs to the dock, where the day can begin with a swim, a paddle, or simply sitting under the covered gazebo listening for the loons. Afternoons are easy and unhurried. Family & friends drift between the home, gardens, second gazebo, open sky & shaded yard. There is room to gather, room to wander, & room to be still. Inside, the home has a warm, soulful cottage feel w/vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, natural textures, a stone gas fireplace & large windows that keep nature close. The layout offers flexibility for real life, with a main-floor bedroom/office, a main level suite with private entrance & patio for guests, extended family or multi-generational living, plus a private second-level primary retreat w/balcony, walk-in closet & renovated ensuite. Evenings settle in beautifully here. Golden light through the trees, quiet conversations by the water, & the kind of calm that follows you inside. Extensive updates add comfort & peace of mind, including log restoration w/ blasting, chinking and staining, generator, triple sump system, water softener, updated ductwork, radon mitigation, newer appliances, lighting, doors, paved driveway, waterfront stairs, deck, dock and more. Two detached double garages, including one with two rear bonus rooms, offer space for hobbies, storage, guests or creative use. Close to Calabogie Peaks, hiking, golf, paddling, restaurants and village amenities, this is a rare four-season escape where privacy, water access & natural beauty come together. 24hrs irrev.
