Sanctuary. A haven in the blissful tranquility of nature. Somewhere completely private, with the sound of a waterfall and stream to nourish your senses and soothe your soul. A cozy retreat to luxuriate in, away from all stresses external. The place where all feels happy, peaceful, right. Home sweet, beautiful, home. Well, there's no place like home and really, no place like this one. A custom construction of this caliber is a rarity. Thoughtfully designed; incredibly well-built with care by its first craftsman owner; stylishly updated by the current ones. As you pull up the gentle driveway of the pretty 4+ woodsy acres just 10 mins from fun, fab Huntsville you are greeted by a stunning rock: sanctuary to a resident, cute groundhog. Reaching the heated 2+ car garage, the majestic landscaping draws the eye up to this lovely, country home. 'Wow! This is nice' you think. The strikingly beautiful, wood doors get you next. Wait till you open them. Warm, reclaimed elm floors; stunningly crafted wood finishes; soaring great room; stone, propane fireplace; gorgeous kitchen + dining space with views of the gardens, pool and enchanted forest. The main floor bedroom retreat with ensuite and a cedar Muskoka room leading to the hot tub, makes early morning or late night dips oh, so easy. Lofty, airy, warm n inviting spaces with a bonus loft, den, office or studio - all wired for comfort, light and sound - plus an auto home generator. The walk-out lower deck has cozy wood stove, home gym + lovely bed n bath for guests. So if you're ready to say sayonara to the city, for a place to reconnect to yourself and one another - life is miles better in Muskoka! Maybe you're looking to become self sufficient, with room for you n your furry friends to roam. This spot is meant for doggies with invisible fence to keep em safe! Perhaps you're thinking of a more wholesome place to raise the kids.. Ooh can we get the one with the pool & slide? Can we?? Can you? Come have a look. Sanctuary awaits.
