Property Details

Perfect for a large family!

The cottage is located on the West shore of Gull Lake in the Haliburton Highlands region of Ontario cottage country. Almost 7 miles long and about 1 mile wide in parts, Gull Lake is one of the larger lakes in this region. It is a 10-15 minute drive south of the closest town, Minden.

The cottage is designed with three types of construction; the lower level is constructed of field stone, the main/ground level is of handcrafted log construction and the upper level is of Scandinavian timber frame construction. Virtually every aspect of this home's construction has been completed with premium materials and attention to detail, right from the custom-built front door on. In many ways, the view inside can be as captivating as the view outside, with huge logs carefully interconnected and rising to the rafters of the Great Room vaulted ceiling.

The cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It will accommodate 10 people quite comfortably. Altogether there are 4035 square feet of living space.The main/ground level is dominated by the Great Room with a vaulted ceiling, field stone fireplace and log joinery all looking out onto Gull Lake. The modern designer kitchen is fully appointed with countertop stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, waffle maker, electric kettle, toaster, blender and pancake griddle. A large surface white Corian counter top ends at a breakfast bar with 3 bar-style chairs. The dining room features a china buffet, dry sink and harvest table that can seat 14 with extensions attached. Off of the dining room is a fully screened Haliburton Room that exits to the outdoor dining deck and BBQ. This level has the Master bedroom with king bed and walk-in closet. There is a private deck off the Master bedroom as well as a 6 piece ensuite bathroom with shower and whirlpool tub.

The upper level has a bedroom with queen bed and a crib The third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. Each of these bedrooms has a closet and drawers built into the pitched walls. There is a sitting/reading area as well as a loft area with a day bed. A large desk (with computer - no internet yet ) looks out onto Gull Lake from this loft area. The upper level has a 4 piece bathroom.

The lower level is fully finished. The Media Room has an air tight wood fireplace, satellite television entertainment system and pull-out couch and recliner chairs. The Biliard Room has a custom-built bar with wine cooler and extra fridge and freezer. This room features a 1948 Brunswick slate pool table (4 1/2 x 9). The fourth bedroom is on this level (double and single sizes.) The lower level has a 3 piece bathroom.

Outside, there is ample parking space that will easily fit three vehicles. From the Media room walk-out door there is a terraced stone stairway with handrail down to the waterfront (105 ft). A small fire pit and a single bedroom Bunkie (not for sleeping yet) are on the landing closest to the water. A pathway leads to the sandy beach area. A deck around the side of the boathouse leads to the dock with mooring whips for a motorboat. There is a 15 foot diameter rave water trampoline (huge hit with the kids) and a floating raft (both shared with neighbour to the south) a short swim from the dock. Water levels fluctuate but generally it is more than 5 feet deep off of the dock. Good fishing right off the dock!

Watercraft included are a fiberglass canoe, paddleboat, aluminum rowboat, three kayaks and all oars, plus various sized lifejackets.
