Experience the timeless craftsmanship of this magnificent Scandinavian Scribe log home, gracefully set on 3.7 acres of private woodland. Across from Pickerel Lake and just minutes from Burk's Falls, this property offers a seamless blend of refined comfort, natural beauty and authentic country living. An impressive wood-burning fireplace serves as its heart, filling both the main level and upper loft with cozy ambiance, while a propane furnace provides supplemental comfort throughout the seasons. Retreat to the loft-style primary suite - an inviting space that blends rustic charm with quiet sophistication. Step outside to a covered balcony where you can enjoy tranquil views of Pickerel Lake and the surrounding landscape. Adding tremendous value and versatility is the newly constructed 26' x 32' detached double garage. Thoughtfully designed for year-round use and enjoyment, the space is well insulated and heated by a premium Pacific Energy wood stove. Ideal for hobbies, projects or as a workshop. The expansive loft above offers outstanding potential as a studio, office, home gym, or future guest accommodations - all enhanced by serene, scenic lake views. Surrounded by towering hardwoods, the property provides a generous supply of firewood and exceptional privacy. An unopened road allowance directly across the road offers convenient access to Pickerel Lake, making it easy to launch and spend the day fishing, or simply relax and soak-in one of the region's most desirable lakes. 259 Lakeshore Road has been lovingly maintained, and now presents a rare opportunity to own a charming rural property that captures the very best of what Almaguin has to offer.
