This true family retreat is a stunner. Entering the main house, the water views and the relaxation of Lake Manitou draws you in. The open-concept layout offers a gourmet kitchen, formal dining for the big dinners and a fireplace for those cool evenings. You might think this is good enough until you walk into the impressive great room and massive views of the water. Whether you're curling up with a morning coffee or entertaining the group, this will be the place to be. The professionally designed main floor also hosts the primary bedroom with deck access to the hot tub, tranquil master ensuite with soaker tub, the second bedroom, a four-piece bath, walk-in pantry and a laundry room that is on every wish list. If the evenings keep going, head down to the bar fridges to watch the game and billiards. The basement has another bedroom, two bonus rooms for that home gym/office, and a three-piece bath. Everyone loves hosting guests but now they can head up to their private space over the garage with their own kitchen, living/dining area, two bedrooms and full bath. Underneath them is an expansive garage with room for all the toys, plus a two-piece bath when you've got the snowsuits on. That's just the inside. How about your own pickleball/tennis/basketball court? This is a state-of-the-art court ready for whatever your sport is. Afterwards, you’ll head down to the dock for a swim in a crystal-clear lake and take a casual cruise around the lake in the pontoon. When you get back, the lakeside BBQ and firepit will be ready to roll for an evening of enjoying Northern Ontario. Only a short drive to Mindemoya for all amenities, a little over two hours from Sudbury, or a beautiful drive up the Bruce Pennisula and the scenic ferry from Southern Ontario to arrive at your dream spot. This property tells you it should be on in the Muskokas, but for a fraction of those prices, you can enjoy at a lifestyle pace that is unmatched on Manitoulin Island. This is the one. (id:39198)
