778 Big Island Huntsville, Ontario P1H 2J2
$1,699,900
This is an incredible package with nearly 20 acres of privacy on Big Island paired with approx. 290 ft of straight-line south-facing frontage, though the actual shoreline measures closer to 325 ft. The setting is exceptionally private, with much of the shoreline in view undeveloped & few docks visible in most directions, creating a peaceful, natural backdrop. The waterfront offers a sandy beach for swimming & play, plus deeper water at the dock for boating & fishing. From here you can explore over 40 miles of boating throughout the Huntsville lake & river system, with the convenience of boating into town for dining or shopping. At the heart of the property stands a remarkable log cottage, a true testament to craftsmanship & design. Built from sustainably harvested lodgepole pine & spruce, the logs were sourced from British Columbia, each 12in diameter, with some up to 54 ft long. The result is a presence & quality that stand out. The main floor is designed for gathering, with kitchen, dining, & living spaces all open under soaring 2-storey ceilings. A wall of windows welcomes natural light while framing treed views & enhancing the sense of privacy from the lake. The striking, centrally located stone fireplace, wood-burning for authentic comfort, anchors the room. Off the dining area is a covered BBQ deck, a screened Muskoka room, & a full-length deck with glass railings, seamlessly blending indoor & outdoor living. This level also includes 2 spacious bdrms, a 3-pc bath with glass shower, & a mudroom with laundry. Upstairs, 2 additional bdrms are complemented by a 2nd living room overlooking the main floor & another full bath with oversized tub. One bdrm features a distinctive suspended bunk bed, adding character to the homes thoughtful design. The lower-level walkout offers storage & houses the utilities. A rare combination of scale, natural setting, & masterful construction, this property is one of a kind & offers a cozy, timeless retreat for generations to come (id:45127)
