1086 Providence Drive, Algonquin Highlands

There's a moment when the world outside goes quiet, the trees close in around you, and you think - this is it. That feeling doesn't go away. It's there every morning when the light filters through the pines. Every evening when the fire crackles and the hot tub steams and there's nowhere else you'd rather be. This isn't a weekend escape. This is home.Fully updated and move-in ready, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath four-season retreat sits on 0.86 private acres of Canadian Shield beauty - yet you're just minutes from Haliburton, Minden, and Carnarvon with easy Hwy 118 access. The best of both worlds isn't a compromise here. It's the whole point.Inside, everything has been done right. The open-concept kitchen and living area are bright, warm, and built for gathering - white shaker cabinetry, bold mosaic tile backsplash, oversized island with endless room for good food and good company, and a Napoleon gas fireplace set against a dramatic stacked stone wall. Sliding doors spill out to the deck and the forest beyond. You'll stop noticing the city ever existed.Three well-sized bedrooms including a guest room with its own 2-piece ensuite. A sleek 4-piece main bath. Main floor laundry tucked behind barn doors. Every detail considered.Outside, the property delivers. Expansive front deck overlooking a canopy of trees - the kind of view that puts on a show no matter the season. Brand new hot tub (2025). Natural rock firepit. Three outbuildings for the she shed, the workshop, the gear. New septic (2025). Drilled well. And deeded access to Maple Lake - because every home like this deserves a shoreline.Come for the weekend. Stay forever.
