Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a 9-acre waterfront property offering such privacy just 5 minutes from downtown Haliburton. This stunning modern home, completed in 2021, perfectly balances contemporary elegance with the raw beauty of the Highlands. From the moment you enter, you are greeted by a breathtaking million-dollar view over Haas Lake, framed by soaring cathedral ceilings and a massive A-frame window that floods the open-concept space with light. The main floor blends refined style with effortless functionality, featuring white-washed oak floors, custom oak beam accents, and a gourmet chef's kitchen equipped with quartz countertops, a sprawling island, and premium stainless appliances. The primary bedroom and ensuite serves as a private retreat, offering a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub positioned to capture serene wooded views. Both the primary bedroom and the Great Room feature walk-outs to an expansive deck-perfect for morning coffee with the sunrise or evening cocktails over the water. Designed for hosting, the fully-finished lower level adds three generous bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom with heated floors, and a large recreation area with a walk-out leading directly to the lake. The property is a true nature lover's playground with 700+ feet of shoreline and a private dock for swimming, fishing, and boating. An offering of this calibre - balancing modern luxury with such vast acreage - is seldom seen. The land and adjacent creek are teeming with wildlife, providing a peaceful, 'tucked away' lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to shops and restaurants. Whether exploring your private woods or relaxing by the lake, this exceptionally rare property stands as the ultimate expression of modern lakefront luxury.
