278 Valley Road, Kawartha Lakes

Tucked at the end of a long, private driveway and hidden from view, this breathtaking 100-acre property offers unmatched seclusion with no neighbours in sight. The handcrafted log home is rich in rustic charm and perfectly positioned to take in the natural beauty. Enjoy serene mornings or golden sunsets from the expansive covered porch (spanning the front of the home and finished with log railings), where deer and wild turkeys often pass by. Outside, a large firepit area set into a landscaped circular turnaround and a stamped concrete pad, complete with electrical and stacked firewood, await your dream gazebo, outdoor kitchen, or swim spa. The manicured lawn, mature trees and long-range valley and ridge views are visible from multiple vantage points around the property. Inside, the main floor blends rustic character with modern design in an open-concept layout filled with natural light. Wood beam ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace (with a black wood-stove insert and a cozy seating arrangement nearby) create a cozy, yet refined atmosphere. The kitchen is a showstopper with brand-new cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry. A bright dining area and breakfast nook offer scenic spaces to gather, while large windows and glass doors bring the outdoors in. The heated sunroom provides year-round enjoyment with panoramic views and sunsets. A stylish laundry/powder room combo and a mudroom add thoughtful convenience to this level. Upstairs, you'll find that the durable vinyl plank flooring continues and a peaceful primary bedroom offers his-and-hers walk-in closets (one fitted with built-in organizers). The fully updated 4-piece bath features new fixtures and a fresh, modern look. Two additional bedrooms offer comfortable, light-filled spaces with ample storage throughout. The central staircase features a grey carpet runner leading between levels. The walkout basement is bright and versatile, ideal for in-laws or rental income. It includes a second kitchen, rec room, bedroom, 3-piece bath (with a contemporary glass-enclosed shower, sleek vanity and modern black fixtures), and separate entrance. Large basement windows bring in natural light, while utility and storage rooms keep things organized. Whether you're seeking privacy, income potential, or a nature-filled escape, this one-of-a-kind rural retreat delivers it all. Home is being sold as a Single Family Residence. (id:1945)
