Privacy like this is a very rare find! This is an off-grid solar-powered cottage with an automatic backup generator providing more power than you will need. The kitchen stove and fridge run on propane. The interior features an open kitchen, living and eating area with a cathedral ceiling, and two lofts looking down to the living area. A covered deck looks out to the lake and beautiful Canadian Shield landscape as well as the dock and swimming area. There is approx. 1800 feet of shoreline on this 2-acre lot and the lot is mainly natural vegetation with granite outcrops. This a lovely place to go for a canoe ride or enjoy the beauty of nature in this classic cottage landscape. Note from Cottage Owner/Architect: Drive off the main road, surrounded by Crown land, and deeper into the forest you enter a granite peninsula containing 2 acres of forest and surrounded on all sides by water; effectively dividing the lake into a smaller deep lake and a larger shallow lake. The built solution called for a cottage that enjoys water, rock, forest, sky, sun, and rain. Nestled in the forest and perched overlooking the granite slope into the lake; this cottage provides a different view and experience to be enjoyed from all sides with a cozy centralized space that provides visual enjoyment of the secluded surroundings. The cottage is built on a heated slab on grade providing all the comforts of home with 2 bedrooms on the main floor at one end and the open kitchen on the other end. Additionally, 2 loft spaces look down from the high ceiling above for additional space and a sense of grandeur and airiness. The plan is centralized around family activity in the main space and open to the kitchen. The property is completely off-grid making use of solar panels for electricity and propane for heat. The spine of the building lines up with the length of the peninsula and large dormers are placed on the roof oriented to the solar south to maximize solar gain. Additionally, these dormers allow natural light into the lofted spaces and create an eccentric volume in the roof which translates into some interesting visual effects of space and light.
