Set on approximately 3 private acres in Harcourt, this timberframe log home offers a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty. Ideally located near the Elephant, Baptiste, and Benoir 3-lake chain, the property provides easy access to boating, swimming, and outdoor recreation while still being close to everyday amenities. Wilberforce is just 10 minutes away for groceries, gas, and the public beach, while Bancroft and Haliburton are both within 30 minutes for shopping, restaurants, and additional services. Maynooth is also nearby, offering access to the popular Saturday farmers market. Inside, the home features a bright open-concept living space with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light that highlights the warmth and character of the timberframe design. A covered deck off the living room creates a comfortable outdoor space to relax, while the open deck off the kitchen is ideal for BBQing and entertaining. The main floor includes two bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom, and a convenient main-floor laundry hookup. Off the primary bedroom, a screened porch offers a private retreat with walkout access to the firepit area. The finished lower level provides excellent additional living space with two more bedrooms, a large rec room with walkout access, and a utility room, making it well suited for families, guests, or year-round living. Additional features include a Generac hookup for backup power and a leveled area on the property with potential for a future garage build. A great opportunity to enjoy privacy, nature, and four-season living in the heart of cottage country.
