16 WOLF TRAIL Bittern Lake
country living Welcome to Bittern Lake Estates, a haven of natural beauty located only 15 minutes north of Huntsville Ontario in Perry Township. This is a very unique place. Almost the whole of Bittern Lake is encompassed by this land use condominium corporation. The estates comprise of 19 large private lots and 100+ acres of land owned in common. There are approximately 8 other property owners on the lake and absolutely no public access point so the lake is for the exclusive and private use of the less than 30 families who own the land surrounding it. The Estate owners and the private property owners on the lake have together made an agreement to make the lake a no motor lake to preserve the peace and tranquility here. In addition, the estate owners have elected to make the estate grounds motor free too, so apart from entrance and egress to public trails outside the estate, there are no ATV’s or snow mobiles to worry your ears either!
MINUTES FROM TOWN The corporation has even elected to have “quiet Sunday’s” adding to the theme of a sanctuary of privacy and peace - there will be no humming lawn mowers or buzzing chain saws on quiet day! The 100 acre forest is a place where all the owners can walk their dogs, hike, snow shoe, cross country ski and simply enjoy their wonderful environment. As a land use condominium the road and trails are part of the common elements and so are maintained by the corporation. This includes the snowploughing in the winter and the spring maintenance as well as liability insurance. The 2013 fee was $695.

thoughtful retreat The east end of the home features the Master Suite. A sunrise lover’s dream, this room has windows on 3 walls to let the light and beauty in. Fear not, it is super easy to pull the blinds if you prefer. You certainly do not need to worry about the neighbour’s as the closest one is over 1000’ away and cannot be seen! The suite features a full 4 piece bath room with a soaker tub and a separate shower and a closet with handmade cabinetry (the door for the closet is stored if you prefer to have it on). The balance of the main floor offers a lovely 2 piece powder room for guests, with a cool special paint feature. A fabulous utility room off the kitchen with laundry and sink with vanity, as well as large closet and access to the BBQ deck and the garage. Finally there is a den or office or even a 4th bedroom. There are buried Bell and Hydro lines, high speed internet and 5 bars of cell service with Bell, so there is no problem running a business from here.

wat e r f r o n t a n d p r i va cy Last but definitely not least we come to the beautiful waterfront. Accessed by crossing the trail the 674.6 feet of shore line has been left in its natural state. There are lovely granite steps to a Hemlock boardwalk and deck that will take you to the beautiful Tamarack and Spruce dock. Built to last but blend into the setting beautifully. There is also a great floating raft to swim from just a few feet from shore. Imagine, sitting on the floating dock at the end of a long summer day watching the sun set–spectacular!

SPACE TO SHARE OR CALL YOUR OWN The first thing you will notice when entering the lower level is that it has been thoughtfully designed to function as a completely private guest suite with a separate entrance and a lockable door to the upper level. Combine that with the kitchenette and you can have family come to stay and still all have some privacy. This level is of course, completely finished to the same exacting standards as the rest of the house. An extra course of block means you have high ceilings and the large windows means there is an abundance of natural light. The ceilings on this level are all pine and add to the lovely country ambiance. You will not notice any dampness in this great space as it has been insulated to R24, in fact the insulation in the whole building exceeds code with the attic containing R50. There is a drilled well and a septic system that has excess capacity so an additional bedroom would be permitted. It is heated with forced air propane and the BBQ, stove and clothes dryer all operate on propane. The lines for a propane hot water tank are installed if a conversion is desired.
