151 ELYSIAN FIELDS ROAD — Kawartha Lakes (Fenelon), Ontario

Winner of the 2023 Canadian National Builders Award for Best Custom Home Over 5,000 Sq Ft. Sitting at the end of a dead-end street, this 8-bed, 8-bath waterfront estate that doesn't just sit on Balsam Lake - it commands it. Over 1.81 acres, 142 feet of waterfront and a federally designated helicopter hangar with appointed pilot's living quarters plus a state-of-the-art gym! - this is the kind of property people build once in a lifetime. Hidden from the road, a circular driveway curves through manicured grounds, building anticipation towards rooflines that break every rule of ordinary. Lake views are never a compromise with the floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light. The main house spans 6,357 sq ft of finished living space - plenty of room for family, and even more for guests. Large gatherings come naturally with the oversized concrete kitchen island and generous dining space. The main floor primary suite is its own sanctuary - a Wyoming King-sized bed on a remote-controlled swivel to command the lake view, a private walkout deck, his-and-her walk-in closets, and a 5-piece spa-inspired bathroom. Two home offices occupy the 2nd floor, one doubling as a guest bedroom with its own ensuite and Murphy bed. The lower walkout level offers a ventilated poker room/cigar lounge and wine cellar, a custom bunk-bed room with 4 queen beds, plus 2 additional bedrooms, 2 baths and games room. Outside: a lounge area, hot tub, sprawling level lawn, fire pit seating, and expansive glass-railed decking. An armour stone retaining wall frames the water's edge, with steps leading to the lake. A 900 sq ft double dry-slip boathouse and two private docks keep your vessels stored, dry, and ready. Only steps from OFSC snowmobile trails, yet far enough down the road that only the occasional deer passes by. This isn't a home, it's a destination - complete with a mailing address, garbage pick-up, fibre internet, and every modern amenity imaginable. Under 2 hours to Pearson (id:63357)
