Imagine the lifestyle people drive hours north to find. Lake views, towering trees, trails and nature at your doorstep. Yet you're just minutes from Cambridge, Guelph and Hwy 401. Welcome to 8 Lake Road, a truly unique 4-bedroom, 2-bath home where the lake is just steps from your front yard and mature forest surrounds the rear and side, with no neighbours directly behind or on one side. Step outside with your canoe or kayak, explore nearby walking and cycling trails, or simply come home and feel like you've escaped the city. Inside, the architecture is every bit as impressive as the setting. Soaring ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-concept living space with natural light while framing beautiful lake and treetop views. The living, dining and kitchen areas flow together effortlessly, creating an incredible space for everyday living and entertaining. The main level also offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, home office and laundry. Upstairs, the private primary retreat feels tucked away from it all, complete with a walk-in closet, 4-piece ensuite and its own balcony overlooking the natural surroundings. The finished walkout lower level adds even more versatility, with a fourth bedroom, rec-room/gym and separate entrance. Offering excellent potential for extended family, an in-law setup or future income possibilities. An attached garage includes an EV plug, while multiple decks and outdoor living spaces make the most of this extraordinary setting. And perhaps the best seat in the house? The hot tub on the deck, where you can unwind while taking in the lake views. This is chalet-country living without the chalet-country commute. A rare opportunity to live surrounded by water, woods and nature while remaining approximately 10 minutes from Cambridge, 15 minutes from Guelph and close to Hwy 401, shopping and everyday amenities. This isn't simply a home. It's the lifestyle people usually leave the city to find. (id:60164)
