PERFECTIONIST'S RETREAT: Enjoy the lake wilderness without leaving the comforts of civilization behind! Perched on the highest point over a protected bay on Black Donald / Centennial Lake, and secluded by a rustic gate and winding driveway, this beautiful waterfront property offers privacy, unparalled views and relaxed living at its best. Both the multi-level log home and detached 2-storey garage are consciously sited with graceful confirmity to the natural setting, and express outstanding craftsmanship using indigenous logs, handcrafted woodwork, and native granite.

The main house features a log-raftered master suite with sitting gallery or office and whirlpool bathroom, 2 queen guest rooms, adjacent full bath with shower, large open kitchen with butcher-block counters and inset glass-door cabinets, spacious 15-seat dining room. and a central great room dominated by a massive, cut-stone (wood-burning) fireplace and soaring beamed ceilings. Glass doors in the dining room and great room open on to a wraparound wooden deck and covered veranda -- an outdoor living room to enjoy panoramic sunsets over the lake. From the deck, private paths lead to a separate post-and-beam loft/studio over the detached 2 car garage/workshop, and to wooden landings and dock along the lakefront.

Professionally decorated in "Log Camp or Cabin style", the home is beautifully presented with custom log furniture, Ralph Lauren fabrics, Wilton rugs, and vintage items. And your Elysium retreat is just one hour's drive from downtown Ottawa!
