Situated in the village of Burnt River, while still being tucked away from the everyday, this 2.5-storey Scandinavian-style log home feels like stepping into your own private world - quiet, natural, and the perfect mix of manicured landscaping and untouched forest. With 1.5 acres of open yard space and the rest of your 27 acres being forested trails, it's a haven for nature lovers, gardeners, and anyone craving room to grow and explore, or just breathe. Inside, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the kitchen and living area with instant warmth and rustic charm.The main floor also includes a flexible bedroom/office, a 3-piece bath, and a bright 3-season sunroom that feels like a fairy tale whether it's raining or the sunniest day on earth! From here you can head outside and down enchanting stone steps into your own greenery sanctuary. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a bonus room currently used as an incredible walk-in closet, easily repurposed as an office or private retreat. Another full bathroom completes this level. The third-floor loft adds a playful touch, ideal for reading, relaxing, or a kids' hideaway.The finished walkout basement expands your living space and features a wood stove, which is a pleasant touch on those colder days. Outside, you'll find a triple-car garage (with 100amp service) with 1,000 sq. ft. of finished loft space above for guests, work, or hobbies, plus an 8x2 garden shed and an 10x24 drive shed for your tractor and toys. This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle. Mornings with birdsong, afternoons on wooded trails, evenings by the fire. Rustic charm and modern comfort meet here. Conveniently located near small-town essentials: Kinmount (14 minutes), Fenelon Falls (15 minutes), Bobcaygeon and Minden (~30 minutes), and direct access to the Victoria Rail Trail (ATV/snowmobile trails) a boat launch at the end of Hillside drive, and close proximity to Four Mile Lake and Crystal Lake.
