1298 Lipsy Lake Drive, Haliburton, Ontario K0M1S0

Discover a coveted offering with unparalleled privacy and natural beauty in the exclusive enclave of Lipsy Lake in the Haliburton Highlands. A rare opportunity to acquire one of Haliburton's most exquisite properties. Lipsy Lake is a deep, quiet, spring fed lake, best described by a marine biologist as one of the cleanest lakes in Ontario. Being 1 of the only 33 estate sized properties in total, the lake is not over developed like many, and offers a hard to find alternative to those in search of supreme tranquility. This meticulously crafted contemporary lakefront estate is nestled on over 14 acres and exceptionally positioned, boasting 545 feet of prized, west-facing frontage and expansive sunset views down the length of the lake. Spanning 130 feet parallel to the water's edge, the design of the main dwelling was informed by nature and integrated into the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield outcroppings. Architecturally designed by MafcoHouse and utilizing post and beam construction, the need for load bearing walls is eliminated, paving the way for expanses of floor to ceiling windows and sun drenched interiors that inspire a deep connection to nature. A glass corridor provides a divide between the common living space and primary suite, with a glass corridor bridge connecting to the two story guest bedroom wing. A covered carport with separate entrance to the lower level of this wing doubles as a large private balcony to the bedroom above. Relaxed luxury is rooted in the complex yet simple and intentional design throughout, where every room and detail has been considered. With impeccable finishes from the warmth of the Western Hemlock clad ceiling, to the bespoke oak millwork, furnishings, and modern conveniences like the integrated Lutron smart home system, this exceptional dwelling offers an immersive space for entertaining as well as intimate family living. Two exterior screened-in rooms on either side of the living area expand the interior living space to the outdoors, with a large deck connecting both to an outdoor kitchen area. From the lakeside, the glass walls reflect the trees and rock, blurring the home from the lakeside view and reflecting its natural environment. An architectural landscape firm meticulously integrated a cut granite stair system with a series of granite landings and patios that lead from the home to the lakeside. At the water's edge, the stone path connects to an expansive dock system. A hiking path hugs the shoreline through the forest, leading to an idyllic lookout on the point of land. Beyond the main dwelling, an additional structure is home to a two car garage, a versatile gym, full 3 pc bathroom, and an expansive recreational room. A professional grade basketball court completes this incredible offering. More than a home, 1298 Lipsy Lake Drive is a place to exhale - where the harmony of intentional design and profound stillness awaken a deeper sense of luxury.
