The open concept house with vaulted ceilings sits on Indian Harbour Lake shores. Main floor living is open concept kitchen, dining and living room areas with an outstanding view of the lake. Off the kitchen, patio doors bring you to a screened porch to a deck with stairs down to a lakeside patio and gardens for easy lake access. The deck runs the length of the house lakeside and wraps around to the main entry. 

The main floor master bedroom has a 3-pc ensuite and large walk-in closet. A main floor second bedroom is currently used as an office. A large finished mudroom brings you to a side entry with a large private porch. The positioning of the house and windows' configuration ensure an abundance of natural light throughout the spaces, even on grey rainy days. The main floor is heated with forced hot air with electric baseboard options in the bedroom and mudroom. An efficient wood stove and passive solar heat keep heating costs low.

The lower level, finished to the same high quality as the main level has the 3rd bedroom with large windows for lots of light. There is a rec room area, dining/kitchen and a separate living room area with large egress windows lakeside. Also on the lower level is a 3-pc bathroom, a cold storage room and laundry room. The lower level is heated with underfloor hot water, electric baseboard option in the bedroom and electric fireplaces in the rec room and living room areas (2022). A walkout entry leads to a concrete sidewalk to gravel patio and laneway and down to the lake. Outside the lower level walkout is a patio area and wooden frame and hookup ready for your hot tub.

The water supply is well (dug), regularly inspected. A minimum maintenance (annual) top of the line calcium filtration water system (2022) ensures a perfect balance of water softness and Ph - no additional water softening treatment is needed.  Hot water is on-demand ( 2018) - no hot water tank rental or maintenance costs and you never run out of hot water! Water quality -  taste and supply is excellent.

The house is equipped with a dedicated generator panel for easy switching. The house is 200 amps with breakers available. A flip of the switch on the generator panel ensures comfort and safety through any weather - Fiona proved that!

The property is on a clean quiet lake with 153’ of direct water frontage. There is a 15' floating wooden dock (2022) for watercraft and swimming. Beside the dock is a  concrete boat launch with gravel base laneway for easy boat trailer access. The water runs deep quickly off the dock for swimming and boating.

Outside the house, the grounds are attractively landscaped with a mix of gardens, lawn and walkways.  Vegetable boxes near the house have their own micro-climate and produce abundant vegetables and herbs. A greenhouse attached to the garage has water, electricity and ventilation to jump start the growing season.

The property layout gives total privacy yet with easy access to all areas. A gravel turnabout (with tile drain installed 2022) brings you to a large concrete parking pad, main garage access and concrete sidewalk to residence main level entry. Another lane brings you to the lower level entry with concrete sidewalk and continues down to the lake dock and concrete boat launching ramp. There is a lane to the large wood storage pavilion and the lot on the south side of the property.

The low maintenance landscaped grounds are a mix of flat terrain, hills, lawn and forest - room to wander and with incredible night sky views. The property’s surrounding trees ensure privacy from the road and neighbouring properties.
