Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand double height atrium that floods the space with natural light, highlighting the beautiful exposed stone walls and a striking steel staircase leading to the expansive master bedroom. The master suite is thoughtfully designed with plumbing already in place, providing the perfect canvas for an ensuite bathroom.
The right wing of the house features a spacious lounge and entertaining area, seamlessly flowing from the atrium. Here, a cozy wood-fired stove not only adds warmth but also serves as the central heating source for the home. Above this inviting space, you’ll find the possibility to create two additional bedrooms, mirroring the master across the atrium for a balanced layout.
In the left wing, the heart of the home unfolds with a well equipped kitchen and dining area that enjoy views of the established gardens. This wing also houses a luxurious family bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower and a generously-sized second bedroom complete with an ensuite for added convenience.

Paddle Fish Lake, the ancient gem, is over 300 years old and serves as the ultimate specimen lake, boasting hard-fighting carp ranging from 25 to 50 lbs amidst its tranquil, tree-lined banks and silty bottom. With a remarkable catch rate—one weekend saw two anglers reel in a staggering 130 fish totalling over 1800 lbs—this lake is a true angler’s paradise.
