Welcome to this truly special 2.2-acre property tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road in Rural Essa. Surrounded by majestic hardwood forest and scenic farm fields, this private retreat offers a rare connection to nature, complete with the peaceful soundtrack of birdsong and the rustle of towering trees. With few neighbours and no through traffic, its the ultimate escape. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature multiple stone patios and outdoor seating areas, and a stunning heated in-ground pool perfect for summer days spent lounging or entertaining. A charming pool house with an insulated upper-level Bunkie adds flexible space, while a rear shed/mini barn provides additional storage and charm. Inside, the home blends warmth, character, and thoughtful design. Reclaimed hemlock floors add rustic elegance to the main living areas, which include a cozy great room with propane fireplace, a dining room with woodstove, and a large separate family room ideal for gathering and unwinding. The spacious Muskoka room is a showstopper, featuring vaulted ceilings, screened-in walls, and ample space to relax or host in total comfort. The main floor also features a well-appointed mudroom with custom cabinetry, benches, and drawers. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and an ensuite featuring heated floors and a custom shower. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level, each with built-in storage and custom cabinetry. A separate loft space offers a cozy and flexible area perfect for reading, relaxing, or creative use. The mostly finished basement adds even more usable space with an option for a fifth bedroom, laundry area, pantry, cedar closet, storage room, and dedicated exercise area. A walkout to the attached garage adds convenience and functionality to this flexible lower level. 16min to HWY400. 25min to Barrie. 40min to Collingwood.
