On the rocky shores of Drag Lake in Haliburton, this superbly designed, water access-cottage provides an abundance of calm and balance, making it the perfect lakeside retreat. Created by the award winning design team Suzanne Dimma & Arriz Hassam, this Eco friendly solar powered Chic cottage has been featured in numerous publications including: ELLE Decor, House & Home, Cottage Life, HERE and on Cityline. The main building blends beautifully with its forest setting and has been methodically structured with careful attention to detail with a connection to nature in mind. Features include an open, loft-like floorplan where the main living areas flow together seamlessly. At one end of the living area, a large picture window frames a dramatic rock face like a living work of art. Every space, including the principal bedroom, enjoys sweeping views in every direction. A screened in porch offers a bird’s eye view to the beach and a sleeping space for additional guests. A second bedroom with private entrance and a water’s edge bunkie provides ample room for overflow. The cottage comfortably sleeps 8. Douglas fir paneling keeps the space cool on hot summer days and cozy on chilly fall evenings. The wrap around deck offers a magnificent panoramic view down the lake. Picturesque rock outcroppings, a deep private bay and a sandy beach all front the peaceful forest on your private 41 acre retreat. This southwest-facing property has 2,500 feet of waterfront for absolute privacy, with a dock, waterside deck and a 100-foot-wide sandy beach. The landscape also features a large flat-rock point perfect for picnics and sunsets while a winding path to the north leads to a 40-foot-high waterfall that cascades down to a meandering stream. A valley of ferns and a dramatic cliff at the east end of the property add to the awe-inspiring setting of this spectacular property. Convenient access with private parking and dedicated boat launch at Sandy Cove makes it easy to truly get away from it all
