October 1, 2005 -- So you've had enough of the rat race and you want to cash in your chips and put your feet up? Problem is that you don't want to live in a "cottage" and you want access to some of your accustomed cultural trappings like theatre, fine dining and shopping. Look no further - Haliburton Highlands in Ontario Canada has it all. You can have all the benefits of urban life plus, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling or ATVing right outside your front door.
Only a two hours drive, Haliburton is an outdoor recreationist's dream. It has the rugged beauty you might expect in an area dominated by the Canadian Shield topography, but it also has a plethora of art studios, special interest clubs, state of the art hospital facilities and all kinds of organized healthy, outdoor recreation activities.
Now every pioneer family needs a roof over their head and if you've worked hard to be successful in the big smoke - what can you expect in Haliburton? How about this home?
This is a brand new luxury custom six bedroom waterfront estate home nestled in towering pines and situated with a beautiful view looking out over the lake at a unique location called "Divers Rock" - where the very brave jump from sheer granite cliffs into the clear blue water. The lake has many bays and islands typical of what you might expect in an ideal rugged Canadian natural wilderness setting. But this home could not be termed "rugged" and you certainly wouldn't be roughing it in the wilderness. A better phrase to coin might be "living in opulence".
"This property is a rare find" says Julie Gray, who is the listing ReMax real estate agent who has a great deal of experience selling upscale Haliburton Highlands waterfront homes. "The home is custom built with the finest in workmanship and materials and it features such attributes as geo thermal climate control from a closed loop heat pump system that takes advantage of the lake water to heat and cool the home. Combined with in floor radiant heating this home is a model for energy efficiency" adds Gray.
Even though the home may focus on energy efficiency, the estate home's appointments are generous with spectacular views from every angle and boasting features such as a towering solid granite fireplace focal point in a huge room with twenty-eight foot high ceilings. The walls facing the waterfront are floor to ceiling energy efficient glass and provide a panoramic view of the lake vista as well as a beautiful view of the sky above. "When you sit in the expansive living room area at night, the whole star-lit sky is your gallery" says Gray.
This estate home features massive decks and a large screened Muskoka room. Additional luxury features such as a bedroom ensuite spa with steam room, double Jacuzzi and rain forest shower are what you might expect in such a fine quality home. Three of the six bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. The cabinetry throughout the home is custom and constructed with hardwoods like cherry and oak.
Overall, this Ontario estate home package offers unparrelled quality and presentation in a location that is second to none. If you've been thinking about kicking back and enjoying the fruits of your labour or perhaps looking for a prime Ontario real estate investment, this may be the place of your dreams.
