Welcome to your private sanctuary on prestigious Balsam Lake. A rare lakefront estate that offers the elegance and scale of a luxury resort, yet exudes the warmth and comfort of home. Nestled at the end of a tree-canopied private drive, this remarkable property spans over 7ac of level, usable land. A pristine canvas for future enhancements such as a pool, tennis court, or additional garage. With west-facing exposure, the property is bathed in sunlight throughout the day, culminating in spectacular sunset views across the water. The main house unfolds gracefully across four levels, connected by an elevator that ensures seamless accessibility for all generations. Inside, expansive principal rooms are designed for both grand entertaining and relaxed lakeside living. A soaring great room anchors the home, complemented by a 3-season room featuring a fireplace & artisanal pizza oven. Resort-style amenities include a full spa, billiards/game/media room, 2 bars, a gym, wine cellar, and even an interior space designed with the dimensions for a squash court. The home offers 5 spacious bdrms, while the attached guest house above the garage provides an additional 2 bdrms, an ideal retreat for extended family or visitors. The two-bay, four-car garage includes a washroom and dog-washing station. Outdoors, the experience is equally exceptional. A private, shallow-entry beach invites you to the waters edge. Boaters will appreciate the covered 4-slip boat port and the oversized dry boathouse complete with dual marine rails, all set within a sheltered private basin protected by a seawall creating your very own private marina with peace of mind for vessel storage. This is more than just a residence; it is a multi-generational, all-season retreat that offers unmatched privacy, scale, and lifestyle flexibility. Located on the Trent-Severn Waterway, you'll enjoy endless boating & access to charming nearby villages, and a lifestyle that seamlessly blends nature, luxury, and community. (id:2493)
