1100 CAPTAINS LANE — Algonquin Highlands (Sherborne), Ontario

The owner of this property had a clear vision for her lake house. It should have clean, modern lines but not be stark. It should have warm inviting spaces and be filled with light. Interior and exterior spaces should be integrated. The success of this vision and its execution is evident. The building nestles into rock outcrops with granite walkways leading to the lake and sauna. Access to the lake is modestly sloped. The spacious dock is tucked in out of any boat traffic with only a couple of docks visible in either direction. Just enough trees were removed to frame the view without sacrificing privacy. Indoors you'll find a space that is perfect for any type of gathering. The entrance welcomes you into an open space that immediately captures the lake view. The living/dining/kitchen area continues this theme with high ceilings & walls of glass doors opening onto a stone patio with fire pit. A stone fireplace anchors one end of the space with an enviable kitchen at the other end. The Muskoka room off the living area is warmed by a Stuv woodstove for 3 season comfort. Bedrooms are at opposite sides of the building creating a quiet oasis for the primary bedroom. Walls of glass doors once more overlook the lake. The ensuite beckons with a stunning view of the rock walls to the rear. A soaking tub plus a steam shower provide a spa like feel. Guest/family bedrooms are generous in size with their own luxury bathroom nearby. Mechanicals are as well implemented as the rest of the structure. The maintenance free floors are warmed by radiant heating. Water is drawn from a drilled well. A fully integrated generator system assures total comfort during power outages. Additional structures include a truly beautiful oversize double garage with glass doors. It is generous enough in size to allow for a "sports bar" as well as vehicle storage. The seller chose Kawagama Lake for its low cottage density relative to large size and its miles of Crown land. Just minutes from Dorset. (id:63357)
