There are properties you visit, and properties you feel the moment you arrive. Offering 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and generous living spaces with the opportunity to accommodate additional sleeping areas, this remarkable 3,480 sq. ft. waterfront retreat sits on 3.5 private acres with an extraordinary 775 feet of frontage on Eels Creek. Surrounded by towering pines, Canadian Shield and the constant sound of moving water, the setting offers an incredible sense of peace and privacy. Built in the 1950s with exceptional craftsmanship, the handcrafted log home showcases authentic post-and-beam construction, hand-cut logs, terrazzo flooring and beautiful custom woodwork throughout. The main level opens to water views with an open-concept kitchen and dining area, sunken living room with wood-burning fireplace and a one-of-a-kind stone waterfall crafted from rocks sourced across Canada. A separate family room with wet bar and fireplace offers another inviting entertaining space. Outside, a sandy gentle walk-in shoreline transitions to deeper water for swimming, canoeing and kayaking. A natural waterfall, wood-fired sauna, fire pit and private trails winding across exposed granite create the quintessential Canadian retreat. Eels Creek flows year-round, bringing the beauty and soothing sound of moving water through every season. An attached double garage/workshop with laundry adds functionality, and a new furnace was installed in 2025. Minutes to Apsley and Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and approximately two hours from Toronto. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the property offers the opportunity to continue generating income, expand guest capacity, create a family retreat or simply keep this extraordinary setting entirely to yourself. Authentic, private and almost impossible to replicate.
