Connaught, Ontario (30 Minutes From Timmins)

Kettle Lakes Estate for Sale

We have always considered our home and lifestyle as 'Peace of Mind'. Our piece of solitude bordering Kettle Lakes Provincial Park has provided us with a needed sense of security and the opportunity for relaxation required after many years in Canada's High Arctic. Here at Kettle Lakes Provincial Park, your day begins with the calming sounds of the emerging natural environment, highlighted with spectacular sunrises through the stunning pines. During the day you can partake in activities such as walking, jogging, biking, swimming, scuba diving, fishing, bird watching, photography, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing all with direct access from our residence. In the evening gaze at stars unaffected by city lights or enjoy a nightly campfire in the backyard. With 41,480 m2 (10.25 acres) of prime sandy-loam soil and mature trees you can do almost anything you choose. And if that is not enough, enjoy the 22 spring water lakes and trail systems within Kettle Lakes Provincial Park, 12.6 million m2 (1261 Ha) bordering our property on the north and east sides. Simply breathtaking!

Since our land purchase in 1982 and the construction of our home in 1989, our family has always deemed our home and its solitude as bliss. The hustle and bustle of downtown city life can be pushed aside upon returning to our home each day. 'Peace and Tranquility' is the term used by our Toronto area friends who when visiting cherish an evening swim where we are the only persons on the lake. Truly a memorable experience! Only 40 minutes from the Timmins Airport, and 30 minutes from the city for those persons interested in entertainment and nightlife. For the flying enthusiasts, the Nighthawk Flying Club is 20 minutes north of our home.

Our 218 m2 (2350 sq. ft., above grade) 1-1/2 storey Viceroy home was constructed to meet the R2000 standards of the day. Finished in brick with cedar accents our home is as stable and secure as the day it was first constructed. Our home features main floor entrance, laundry, kitchen, dining, 2 piece bath, family room and living room. The living room captures the openness of our surroundings with its 4.8 m (16 foot) vaulted ceiling and extension into the dining area. The second floor addresses the 4 piece bath, 2 bedrooms and inviting master bedroom with ensuite 4 piece bath including a whirlpool tub, sitting area and walk-in-closet. As with the main floor, all rooms are of generous size and proportion with the added feature of vaulted ceilings throughout the upper level. The sense of openness was captured to coexist with the natural surroundings of the park. All bathroom floors have 19 mm (3/4 inch) cork flooring which maintains a sense of warmth and relaxation. The 19 mm (3/4 inch) red oak flooring along the main level is stained in a deep chocolate colour to capture the richness of the home.

The 135 m2 (1450 sq. ft., below grade) basement area is finished with 19 mm (3/4 inch) solid cedar planks on the walls accented with drywall. A shop area, exercise room, woodstove, storage areas and a 4th bedroom (which has been sound proofed for our children’s musical ambitions) round off the final living space. An attached two-car garage allows for vehicle security and additional privacy. {Extras include an outdoor storage shed, basketball area, asphalt driveway, mail delivery to the home, school bus pickup for children, central vacuum, Heat Pump, forced air electric furnace, satellite TV, security system, phone and high speed internet connections throughout}.

The spaciousness of our home, vaulted ceilings, whirlpool bath, solid brass fixtures, chair-rails in the hallway, solid oak cabinets, mahogany and oak trim, ceiling fans, crown moldings, finely textured ceilings, walk-in closets, solarium in the dining area, fireplace in the family room, imported marble, and woodstove in the basement bring out the sense of warmth in everyone who visit. Captured in rural elegance, our home was constructed as our dream… built with all the amenities one could desire. We had never envisioned leaving, but with all 3 children now living in Western Canada, it is our turn to follow, and sadly, our time to sell.
