Set in a wonderful Otty Lake waterfront neighbourhood, this remarkable year-round home brings together thoughtful architecture, outstanding craftsmanship & a beautiful private setting. Less than 10 minutes from Historic Perth & approximately one hour from Ottawa, the property is accessed by a year-round privately maintained roadway. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression with its distinctive architecture, carefully considered details & wonderful relationship with the surrounding forest & lake.
Custom designed & built by one of Perth’s premium home builders, this architectural gem delivers an immediate wow factor. Deep, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired cedar soffit overhangs extend across the covered porch areas, supported by natural fir columns & complemented by select cedar panels. The beautifully considered exterior creates a distinctive architectural presence while maintaining a warm, natural feel. High R-value construction, triple-glazed windows & a heated slab foundation contribute to an efficient & comfortable year-round home.
The beautifully framed entrance opens into a spacious foyer filled with natural light, setting the tone for a home that is warm, inviting, sophisticated & exceptionally well thought out. Wide-plank hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings & expansive windows create a seamless connection to the forest & lake beyond. The open-concept kitchen, dining & living areas are designed for both everyday family living & entertaining. The custom kitchen is a true focal point, featuring a remarkable 14-foot island, abundant cabinetry & generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, a beautiful walk-in pantry, coffee bar & cocktail bar area. The dining area opens naturally to the lakeside terrace, creating an ideal setting for family dinners overlooking the water.
The living room is surrounded by windows, bringing peaceful forest & lake views into the home from every direction. A gorgeous floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace forms the centrepiece, with doors on either side opening directly into the screened porch. With its own stone fireplace, this cozy outdoor room is an inviting place for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, family games or simply relaxing to the sound of loons on the lake. Six ceiling fans are thoughtfully positioned throughout the home & covered outdoor spaces to enhance year-round comfort.
The bedroom wing is thoughtfully designed for privacy & comfort. The lakeside primary suite enjoys beautiful views, a well-appointed ensuite & generous built-in closet & storage space. The second bedroom includes a custom built-in desk, making it equally suited as a comfortable guest room or home office. The third bedroom has its own private exterior entry, providing an ideal retreat for guests or family members. A well-designed guest bathroom serves the bedroom wing. The spacious laundry room includes a sink & convenient exterior access to the covered deck.
Outside, professionally landscaped grounds extend across approximately 3 acres of mature woodland & over 240 feet of prime Otty Lake shoreline, providing an incredible sense of space, privacy & connection to nature. The property is exceptionally private, with no neighbouring homes visible from much of the property. There is plenty of room to explore the woods, enjoy the gardens, swim, boat, gather with family & friends or simply take in the peaceful surroundings. A main dock provides an ideal place to start the morning with coffee, enjoy a swim or head out onto the lake, while a separate kayak dock makes launching & storing kayaks convenient. The lakeside terrace provides another wonderful outdoor gathering space for family dinners & entertaining.
A detached single-car garage provides plenty of storage along with a workshop area, while the custom guest suite offers a private bedroom & 3-piece bathroom. There is also generous parking for family & friends.
This is a rare opportunity to own a truly custom Otty Lake home where architecture, craftsmanship, efficiency, privacy & setting have been brought together with considerable thought. Warm, inviting & beautifully designed, every element feels intentional, from the natural materials & expansive windows to the relationship between the interior spaces, terraces, screened porch, forest & lake. A special property that is difficult to fully appreciate without seeing it in person.
