Imagine the lifestyle people drive hours north to find. Lake views, towering trees, trails and nature at your doorstep. Yet you're just minutes from Cambridge, Guelph and Hwy 401. Welcome to 8 Lake Road, a truly unique 4-bedroom, 2-bath home where the lake is steps from your front yard and mature forest surrounds the rear and side, with no neighbours directly behind or on one side. Grab your canoe or kayak, explore nearby trails, or simply come home and feel like you've escaped the city. Inside, soaring ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-concept living space with natural light while framing beautiful lake and treetop views. The living, dining and kitchen areas flow effortlessly for everyday living and entertaining. The main level also offers 2 bedrooms, a full bath, home office and laundry. Upstairs, the private primary retreat features a walk-in closet, 4-piece ensuite and its own balcony overlooking the natural surroundings. The finished walkout lower level adds a 4th bedroom, rec-room/gym and separate entrance, offering excellent potential for extended family, an in-law setup or future income possibilities. Major recent updates add comfort and peace of mind: furnace (2025), tankless water heater (2025), washer/dryer (2025), A/C (2026) and UV water filtration lamp (2026). The attached garage includes an EV plug, while multiple decks and outdoor living spaces maximize this extraordinary setting. And perhaps the best seat in the house? The hot tub on the deck, where you can unwind while taking in the lake views. This is chalet-country living without the chalet-country commute. Approximately 10 minutes from Cambridge, 15 minutes from Guelph and close to Hwy 401 and everyday amenities. This isn't simply a home. It's the lifestyle people usually leave the city to find.
