Incredibly rare 10-acre estate on Long Lake. Like arriving at a nature preserve, you wind through the forest and up to the house where you soon realize the treat that waits on the other side of the door. A stunning home set amidst nature ... a huge flat yard graces the front of the house with panoramic, southerly lake views over your own private peninsula with 1,800 feet of shoreline out the back of the house. Wildlife footprints abound.

A complete Mike Sharratt renovation re-envisioned the exterior, added a second story and opened the floor plan. The result creates dramatic, generous entertaining spaces alongside comfortable everyday spaces. The simple and timeless design has been updated by the current owners, removing flourishes and adding subtle surprises such as reclaimed timber and a barn wood accent wall. With updated paint colors, hardware, and lighting, the home feels current and classic, but the views and setting steal the show!

The gourmet kitchen features top end appliances with a six burner cook-top, counter depth Sub Zero refrigerator, a walk-in pantry and opens to the dynamic great room / dining area, capturing the volume and pristine views through the walls of windows. The soaring great room stays grounded with the elegant fireplace and built-in entertainment wall. A three season porch gets used throughout the year as a relaxation area. With the large formal dining room on the other side of the kitchen, this home can easily adapt from daily dinner time conversation to large parties.

Beyond the main floor office, tucked away from the rest of the house, the main floor master suite is a peaceful retreat to bookend your day. Along with the lake / peninsula view, features include: a gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves, a walk-in closet and spacious master bathroom, complete with heated floors, Jacuzzi tub and steam shower. A

Upstairs, 4+ spacious bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and a flex room give the option of re-purposing rooms to suit your needs. The en-suite bathroom has recently been updated and includes heated floors.

For entertainment, the walkout level includes a large game room, wet bar, viewing room, and a second family room with a full height stone fireplace. Another bedroom with a 3/4 bath can be the perfect guest room. A very spacious and bright exercise room, sauna and a separate 3/4 bath make it easy to incorporate exercise into your day. In the summer, the lower level provides a great transition from a day of water-skiing, tubing, surfing, rowing or just sitting on the lake; of course, we can't forget winter...snowmobiling, skating or exploring the peninsula on snowshoes. The gas fireplace and heated lower level floors keep things toasty and warm all winter long!
