Along a quiet country road that winds through forest and meadow, this modern log home sits on 2.6 acres of serene land near Bennett Lake. Enclosed by a cedar rail fence, it feels both timeless and private, with no neighbours in sight except for quietly grazing cows. The back deck offers sweeping views across a meadow and into the forest beyond, a place to watch the morning mist drift and the seasons paint the treeline in their different colours. The front verandah is a gathering place for evenings with friends, or a quiet dip in the hot tub watching the sunset and evening stars. Inside, the home carries the warmth of exposed logs yet is open to light in a way that older log homes rarely are. The living room, with its hardwood floors, cathedral ceiling, and tall windows, is filled with afternoon and evening sun, creating a space that glows as the day fades. The modern kitchen, complete with updated appliances, invites conversation around the large island/breakfast bar. The main floor primary bedroom welcomes soft morning light and features a recently added walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The lower level walkout is equally inviting, with ceramic floors, radiant floor heating, pot lights, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a family/recreation room. With its own walk-out entrance, it holds potential for an in-law suite or a private guest retreat. Recent updates include designer fixtures, a main floor wood stove, brand new commercial washer and dryer, and a large Amish shed. Just down the road, Bennett Lake offers swimming, fishing, and paddling, while the historic town of Perth is only fifteen minutes away. Here, modern comforts blend with natural rhythms, offering a place to slow down and enjoy life in the country.
