Perched at the very top of Norwood, this custom-built estate doesn't just overlook the landscape-it owns it. More than 4,500 square feet of meticulously crafted living space sits on a private 2-acrehillside lot, with sweeping views that cascade over a serene pond, rolling meadows, and whispering pines. Expansive windows pull the outdoors in at every turn, while the wrap around deck becomes your private stage for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and starlit nights by the pool and hot tub. This is pride of ownership in its purest form-built and cherished by the original owners with an eye for quality and permanence. The setting is equally compelling: a quiet Kawartha Lakes village where the annual Norwood Fair still draws the community together and trails along the Otonabee River are just minutes away. Yet you're only 20 minutes from Peterborough's shops, restaurants, and amenities. With its elevated position, generous grounds, and timeless construction, the property also carries clear potential as a distinctive bed & breakfast-inviting guests to experience the same sense of escape and beauty that has defined this home for years. This isn't just a house at the top of the town. It's the kind of place that feels like a legacy waiting for its next chapter.

Picture every generation of your family in one place, for decades to come. Thirty-eight acres, 1,000 feet of East Lake shoreline and two large dwellings make this that place: a legacy property to gather around now and pass on to the generations still to come. The primary residence is a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. Thoughtfully upgraded along the way, it is ready to live in from the day you arrive, in every season. A double car garage adds everyday ease, and the large basement with high ceilings offers room to expand. Spend afternoons at the inground pool, or wade into East Lake from a clean, shallow entry made for swimming, boating and kayaking. The second dwelling has its own possibilities. It could become an expanded family compound where every generation shares the same land and the same long table on summer evenings, or a source of potential rental income. The land holds its history close. Operational farmland surrounds the homes, the fields turning gold late in the season before giving way to lawn and open water. An original barn from the 1800s and a drive shed stand as quiet reminders of the families who worked this ground before, and they wait for whatever the next generation dreams up. Mornings start at the water's edge, and days end watching the light fade across East Lake. For those planning ahead, the property offers the potential to sever into two lots, subject to municipal approval. It can also be kept whole, as one family estate with room for everyone you love. Sandbanks Provincial Park is minutes away, as are the charming towns and villages of Prince Edward County. The County is an artists' enclave and a celebrated wine region, with notable restaurants, scenic places to explore and beaches for every season. Some properties change hands. This one is meant to stay in the family.
