Explore this massive cottage in the Kawarthas and see how the other half lives

From above, the cottage looks a bit more like a castle. And are those solar panels we see? With great power comes great responsibility (to the environment).

The rounded door is one of the cottage's unique features. It gives the otherwise expansive space a bit of a hobbit-hole feel.

Here's another view of the living room and loft. The cottage's builders weren't afraid to fill the space with natural wood, mixing the log-cabin aesthetic with the proportions of a mansion.

This covered patio looks out over the lakes. Its built-in skylights keep the space bright, but still protected from the elements. This would be a great place to sit and watch a storm over the lake.

Bunk beds are a vital part of the childhood cottage experience. Thankfully, the abundant space in this cottage doesn't mean kids have to miss out on the bonding experience of bunking together.

The swimming pool in this beautiful solarium is the pièce de résistance in this home. Even if you don't feel like swimming, this would still be an incredible place to sit poolside and take in the surroundings.

This basement lounge features a lovely wood bench and retro ceilings. It's an evolved rumpus room, great for hanging out with family and playing games.

This is just one of the cottage's four bathrooms. The wood motif extends into this space, making it as warm and inviting as the rest of the house.
