    Description

    Tucked into a sheltered bay on the shores of Francois Lake, this extraordinary six-acre waterfront estate is, without question, one of the most significant offerings to reach this market in years. With over 1,000 feet of pristine shoreline, a striking 5,000+ sq. ft. residence, and a coach house built for the serious car enthusiast or hobbyist, this is a legacy property in every sense.

    The main home, originally built in 1990, was extraordinarily over-built and has since had its exterior completely reimagined through an architect-designed renovation. Every room is generously scaled, starting with a kitchen made for entertaining: a commercial six-burner range with double ovens, two additional wall ovens, an oversized island, and instant hot water on demand. A sunroom sits just steps from the water's edge, framing lake views from what may be the best seat in the house. The main-floor primary suite offers single-level living, while upstairs holds two additional bedrooms, a billiards room, and a family room—all warmed by two fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, and dual heating systems (wood-fired and electric forced air). A dedicated hobby room and attached garage round out the main residence, and thoughtful fire protection—sprinklered throughout, with fire-rated drywall in every interior wall—offers rare peace of mind for a property this size.

    The detached coach house adds over 1,400 sq. ft. of additional living and function: a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and a 4-piece bath above, with an open carport below and a double garage—one bay outfitted as a true shop, ideal for the serious car enthusiast, with a 22 ft service pit, an overhead crane, 400-amp service, a full bathroom, and a dedicated paint bay suited to auto or aircraft work.

    Setting is everything here. Positioned on the lake's far west end across from Paradise Island, the property enjoys natural shelter from the weather along with a private float plane hangar, two docks, and a boat launch—ideal for taking off and landing right from home. Lake trout, rainbow trout, and burbot fishing rank among the best on Francois Lake, right out front, while world-class hunting in Tweedsmuir Park is only a short flight away. A 46' x 30' pole barn adds ample equipment and storage space, and a fully serviced RV site (power, water, septic) adds even more flexibility for guests or extended family.

    Properties of this caliber, scale, and setting rarely come available on Francois Lake. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a private, self-sufficient waterfront retreat built without compromise.
