About this property
A great place to make family memories in a beautiful lake front cottage.
Located on Paudash Lake in the Haliburton Highlands this beautiful timber frame home situated on a well treed, private, 2 acre lot with 230 feet of waterfront is an ideal place to reconnect with nature and loved ones. With 3800 sq feet of beautiful living space, a large deck on the upper level and a patio on the lower level your family or group can enjoy a memorable vacation. The southern exposure allows you to soak up the sun and experience the clean water and beauty of Paudash Lake.
Interior
A spacious, luxuriously decorated, 2 story timber- frame home. On the main level you will find a large bright kitchen with an island and every necessary modern kitchen appliance, the living room with cathedral ceiling and huge south facing windows, and a formal dining room with a table that can seat 8 as well as a breakfast area that can seats 6. The main level also has a bedroom wing with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The big master bedroom comes equipped with a king size bed and en-suite 4 piece bathroom with jacuzzi tub. The other room is a children's bedroom with a double bed . The second 3 piece bathroom has access from the bedroom wing hallway. One French door and the master bedroom sliding door provide access to the main deck. Another sliding door off the dining room opens into the sun-room which doubles as a screened in porch. On the lower level you will find the the family room, 3 bedrooms and one 3 piece bathroom with a sauna. 2 of the bedrooms have queen sized beds and the 3rd bedroom has a trundle bed and sleeps 2. The large family room is well equipped with 2 sectional corner sofas and an entertainment wall unit that contains the TV, VCR/CD player and a good selection of books and videos. There is an alcove off the family room with a double/single bunk bed and a TV to play video games. From the family room a sliding door opens to the patio equipped with patio furniture and propane BBQ. The deck on the upper level and the patio are facing south and have beautiful views of the lake.
Exterior
As you exit the family room you find yourself on the beautiful patio that comes equipped with table, umbrella, 6 chairs and a propane BBQ as well as 2 loungers.
Stepping 4 steps down off the patio is a lawn with a picnic table, a fire pit on a huge diamond shaped rock. Three steps up off the patio to the left is another patch of lawn with a swing-set and a sandbox for the smaller children. Stepping down to the lake are 2 decks at different elevations. The first deck with 2 Muskoka type chairs and a wraparound bench affords the best views of the lake and is also a great place to just sit and read. The lakeside deck has a table, chairs, wraparound bench and umbrella with enough sitting room for 8. Stepping of the lakeside deck, you will find a large L-shaped floating dock with 2 ladders providing access to the water. One ladder with access to shallow water at the shore is suitable for smaller children. The dock faces south and is a great place to soak up the sun, fishing, or just relaxing in one of the Muskoka chairs.It is also an easy swim to the floating platform ideal for swimming, diving and sunbathing. On the dock is also a rack with one Canoe and 2 kayaks for your enjoyment. If you plan to bring your own boat, there is a marina across the bay that can look after all your boating needs.

My Husband and I have 3 AMAZING Children and we live in a small farming community surrounded by friends and family. We have a little hobby farm where we raise and love our chickens and ducks. When we are not at The Rockhound, our family loves the outdoors and we enjoy camping during the summer months.

Why they chose this property
My husband James was taken in by his grandparents at a young age. His grandfather had built this home with his own hands and moved James and his brother up to Bancroft. We have so many great memories that we have created here. Understanding the importance of family and fellowship my husband and I purchased this beautiful property. We have continued to create memories with our children, family and friends. We enjoy sharing this peaceful getaway with others so they too can feel the comfort and joy that The Rockhound has brought our family for many years.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful view of the Lake. Close proximity to Bancroft and Haliburton. Silent Lake Provincial Park is steps away. Algonquin Park is approx. an hour by car.
