25 COLE POINT TRAIL — McKellar, Ontario

25 Cole Point Trail isn't about squeezing everyone into a cottage for the weekend. It's about having enough room for the whole family to truly settle in. Built by the original owners as their family gathering place this year-round lake home sits on approximately 17 acres with 300 feet of natural shoreline. Set up the soccer nets or volleyball, gather around the bonfire, head down to the beach area for a swim or simply sit by the water and enjoy the view. There's a dock with deeper water beyond for those who want it but you certainly don't need to be a serious boater to appreciate living on the lake. Inside the home was designed with family in mind. High ceilings and generous open living, dining and kitchen areas give everyone room to gather while the screened porch has been the spot for card games and evenings together without giving up that connection to the outdoors. Two additional rooms on the main floor have been used as bedrooms but could just as easily become an office, den or hobby space with main-floor laundry, utility space and a four-piece bath completing this level. Upstairs are three more bedrooms another four-piece bath and a sitting area more space to spread out when the house is full. Even the attached two-car garage has evolved with the family. Part workshop, part hangout it's a versatile space overlooking the firepit that proves useful well beyond parking. When you want more room to explore, the approximately 17-acre property offers plenty of it. Built in 2008 with a poured concrete foundation the home has ground-source heating, central air and a lake water system with UV, tannin and sediment filtration. Year-round access means this doesn't have to be a place you say goodbye to in winter. For the family looking for a waterfront property where the kids bring friends, everyone can stay over and there's enough space indoors and out to create their own traditions, 25 Cole Point Trail has already spent nearly two decades doing exactly that.
