Tucked away on approximately 300 feet of southwest-facing shoreline on Buckhorn Lake along the Trent-Severn Waterway, this four-season chalet-style home offers privacy, character, and year-round enjoyment in a serene natural setting with warm afternoon sun and glowing sunsets. Originally built in 1965, the property has undergone extensive updates in the last four years, including plumbing, electrical systems, insulation, windows, doors, interior finishes, and the roof, blending classic cottage charm with modern reliability. The elevated main living area overlooks the water and opens to a cantilevered waterfront deck, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and taking in long lake views. The kitchen features a custom wood epoxy island and a pot filler at the stove. Multiple heat sources-including a propane forced-air furnace (2019), wood stove, wood-burning fireplace, and propane fireplace stove-ensure comfort in every season. A walk-out basement provides convenient storage and direct access to the shoreline, ideal for launching kayaks or canoes. The natural, shallow shoreline is perfect for rafting and paddling, with deeper water just a short distance out. A separate four-season waterside bunkie/studio is fully insulated, equipped with a heat pump and its own electrical subpanel, offering excellent guest accommodations or creative space. Additional features include a private well with UV water treatment, an owned electric water heater, 200-amp electrical service, and road access via Woodland Trail, a municipal road leading to Fire Route 62, which is privately owned and maintained by the property owner, including snow removal. The main road leading to Fire Route 62 is paved. Located approximately 10 minutes from Buckhorn amenities and 25 minutes to Peterborough, this is a rare waterfront offering for buyers seeking privacy, authentic cottage living, and dependable four-season enjoyment.
