Imagine ending your busy workday in this idyllic four-season riverside escape, where tranquility meets timeless charm. Nestled along the serene Pigeon River and facing the natural beauty of Emily Provincial Park, this property is the perfect blend of cottage coziness and modern comfort. Originally constructed in the 1860s, the historic log cabin was carefully relocated to this picturesque site and thoughtfully expanded with a modern addition. The result? A welcoming home featuring an eat-in kitchen, two full bathrooms, second-floor laundry, and three spacious bedrooms. Meticulously maintained and updated, the home boasts newer wiring, windows, shingles, and tasteful restoration work throughout. The warmth of the original log walls pairs beautifully with the functionality of today’s conveniences. Outdoors, the lifestyle only gets better. Enjoy a large screened-in porch with calming river views, an al-fresco dining patio with a barbecue area and pergola just off the kitchen, and 75 feet of direct river frontage complete with a private dock—ideal for tying up your canoe or casting a line. Enjoy endless boating to Pigeon Lake which gives you access to the Trent Severn Waterway. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Peaceful, picturesque, and packed with character, this riverside gem is truly a must-see!
