Just 6 km from Lions Head Provincial Nature Reserve, this 137-acre property feels like its own world, yet you're only 5 minutes from town for groceries, banking, and the Lions Head Inn. The 3-bed, 2-bath house was custom built with hickory hardwood throughout and no carpet anywhere. Main floor has an open layout with a kitchen featuring local ledgerock counters and a live-edge island, plus radiant floor heating in the bathroom and heated towel racks. Upstairs you get the primary suite with its own bathroom. The wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room for winter nights. Out back, there's a 24 by 24 detached garage that's fully insulated with a heated loft above, and it already has an EV charger hooked up. A separate insulated bunkie with a fireplace gives guests their own space, and the 24 by 32 barn has water and hydro, making it a workshop or hobby space. Central air, main floor laundry, and generator-ready wiring add practicality. Trails wind through the property, and a hot tub sits under the stars. Priced at $1,479,000, that's in line with the area's median, and given only 3 listings nearby, this kind of acreage doesn't sit long.
