Step into this unique year-round home or cottage with a Mexican flare. From the beautiful tile work, plaster walls, vaulted ceiling, and warm colours - it is the perfect vacation spot in the Highlands. The home offers large bedrooms - 1 on the main level & 2 upstairs, a bathroom on each floor, an open concept kitchen, dining, and living space that has multiple walkouts the the deck, and a fabulous 3-season Haliburton Room. The large kitchen Island faces the living room for additional entertaining. You will love the soaring ceiling in the living room and all the windows letting the sunshine into every corner of the house. The upstairs has an open loft area overlooking the living room and wait until you see the hand-created mosaic tile shower in the upstairs washroom. An expansive deck for exterior entertaining comes with quite a view overlooking the lake and sunsets. There is even a hot tub. The uniquely shaped screened-in Haliburton room is the perfect hangout space - a fresh-air breakfast, quiet naps during the day, and Cards at night! An amazing bonus to the property is the 610 sq. ft. Studio with loft. The studio comes with a 3 pce bath and kitchenette space. Let your imagination run with the many uses of this beautiful building. Fantastic spot for the kids to hang out, to craft your hobby, turn into a library/office, or even an exercise room. Below is a 395 sq ft workshop/storage space! The building is fully insulated, heated, and has hydro and water. The landscaping and paths throughout the property give a real cottage feel among the treetops. No lawn to cut. Walk down the meandering steps along a beautiful rock outcropping to the level waterfront. There is a shed that has power near the water. Entry is sandy and shallow but deep to park a boat off the dock. Look down and see all of Mountain Lake which is a 2-lake chain with Horseshoe Lake for endless exploration - boating, islands, cliff jumping and more.
