A unique home on a spring fed lake perfectly perched in the fresh air of the Oak Hills...

This year round home on Oak Hill Lake Road offers a rare opportunity to combine a slow paced lifestyle in the country, within 3 minutes of the 1800 pop. town of Stirling, 15 minutes from the City of Belleville, one hour from Kingston and two hours from downtown Toronto. This lovely home was designed and constructed by the owner on .45 of an acre with 200 feet on the water and year round road access.
 

The Main House
 

The Main House's middle floor ( 20 x 40 ft ) has entry from the road and a large balcony on the lake side . It features an open concept living room overlooking, not only the lake but the 100 year old White Pines, Hemlock, Cedars, natural grasses and indigenous vegetation. This floor also features a dining area, kitchen, and music/office area. The second floor ( 15 x 40 ft ) has three bedrooms and bathroom with jacuzzi & shower. Off the master, there is an entrance into the bathroom. All three bedrooms have a magnificent view of the lake and enjoy gentle cool summer breezes, so much so, that air conditioning has never been necessary because of the positioning and height of the home. The fully finished basement which walks out to lake level, has high quality ceramic flooring throughout ( 20 x 40 ft ) and features a family room with airtight woodstove , 2 more (bed/office) rooms and a second bathroom with claw tub/shower.

 

The Landscape
 

Over the years we have undertaken a number of projects to improve the property. The first was to build a seawall, of natural lake rocks and field stones, all along the shoreline. This improved the fish, frog and muskrat habitats, and also, secured the entire shoreline from potential erosion. After protecting the land at the water's edge, we set to work constructing a 6 foot high cedar fence all around the perimeter of the property. This satisfied our appreciation of complete privacy. The land was gently altered to have easy access to the water's edge from different locations. By raking small paths through the forest, the natural vegetation was able to flourish. As a final touch, 2 cedar docks were built; one larger at the centre of the property and one on the east side to service the Playhouse.
