Some homes are built for quiet mornings. This one was built for generations to gather, create, retreat, and stay awhile. Set on 5 private acres in the Highlands, this custom 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom estate pairs a richly detailed main residence with a separate 3 bedroom cottage, creating a rare multi generational opportunity with income potential, guest accommodations, or space for extended family. Built in 2018 with exceptional efficiency and craftsmanship, the main home features R30 walls, R60 ceiling insulation, 9 foot ceilings throughout, and a soaring 21' cathedral ceiling in the great room. A curved staircase creates a memorable first impression, while the formal dining room flows naturally into an open concept chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, walk in pantry, and generous prep space designed for everything from holiday gatherings to everyday family life. The primary suite offers main level deck access and a 2 piece ensuite, while a private staircase leads to a spa inspired second ensuite featuring a jetted stone accented Jacuzzi tub, oversized 5' x 7' shower with five sprayers, granite counters, and dedicated vanity space. Upstairs, the mezzanine overlooks the great room and connects two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. One bedroom also accesses a hidden studio above the insulated, gas heated double garage, ideal for artists, remote work, or a private lounge. The walkout lower level expands the lifestyle potential with a wet bar, walk-in wine cellar, and two more bedrooms, including one with dual 2 piece ensuite access. The separate cottage includes 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, updated septic, electrical, and re leveling, ideal for guests, rental income, or a family compound setup. Also includes a separate 1 acre parcel featuring a commercial grade 40' x 80' heated workshop with 14' ceilings, 400 amp service, mezzanine, kitchen area, bathroom, and multiple workspaces. A rare live work opportunity in the Ottawa Highlands market.
