This custom-built log home is located in a private forest setting just off of Highway 11, south of Burks Falls, Ont. The year-round cottage is essentially two living spaces combined into one; with an in-law suite, complete with a kitchen, a laundry room, an office space, and a bedroom with one partial bathroom, connected to but separate from the primary living quarters. The primary space includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open-concept kitchen and dining area, and a living room fitted with a large fireplace. The cottage was extensively upgraded in 2023, but the 2,700-sq.-ft. basement remains unfinished and has the potential to be converted into a storage room, a workshop, or extra sleeping space for guests. The property boasts more than 30 acres of mixed forest and untouched woodland crisscrossed by private recreational trails.
