Just 15 minutes from both Haliburton and Minden, this new square log home sits on a 221 by 196 foot lot with level and gently sloping terrain. It's a quirky layout with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms spread over three floors, but the square log construction gives it a solid, cabin-like feel that's rare in new builds. The main floor has a modern kitchen with granite counters and a big island, plus a dining area and living room featuring a propane fireplace. Lots of windows let in natural light. Upstairs, the primary suite has a 3-piece ensuite with a glass shower and its own balcony; two other bedrooms also have balconies, which is pretty sweet. The lower level is finished as a rec room with two more bedrooms and a full bath. There's central air, a generator, and an alarm system, so you're set for year-round living. Out back, there's a fire pit and room for 6 cars. The furnace on 6 open lots is heated by forced air with electric and propane backup. This property has a proven Airbnb history, so it could pay for itself. Near the airport (the Stanhope airport is just 1 km away).
