luxury house with terrace for sale Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, Canada

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.

Nestled on a gentle hillcrest with long stunning views over the Northumberland Hills sits one of the area's most unique and beautiful homes. In 1993, noted Canadian artist (member "Painters Eleven") and Olympic canoeist, Tom Hodgson, chose this private 45 acre property and built an authentic square-cut log cabin with great-room, soaring ceiling, wood-burning stove, and loft (now library), to which a substantial board-and-batten addition was later added. Tasteful renovations using quality materials and fine craftsmanship include a sunlit chef's kitchen, new bathrooms, a remodeled principal bedroom, and family room with propane fireplace, plus a screened-in porch, separate exercise room, and decks. Whether you're going from the hot tub or barrel sauna to the hillside saltwater pool, or for a swim in one of the two spring-fed ponds, you're surrounded by a serene setting, manicured landscaping and incredible views, with spectacular sunsets. The large, heated 2-door garage, built to complement the home, contains a full second storey, which could be finished to become an extra guest suite, studio or office. At the foot of the long paved driveway sits a 2-storey board and batten former artist's studio, now converted to a heated games room, with a floating suspended walkway. This memorable property is minutes from the historic villages of Warkworth and Hastings, for restaurants, cafes, shops, golfing and galleries, or Campbellford for hospital and full services. About 30 minutes to Peterborough or Cobourg for VIA Rail and 90 minutes to the GTA. NOTE: Seller owns vacant land of approximately 29 acres on eastern boundary (corner lot, 135 Smith Road, PIN 512020153), also available for purchase. Speak to Listing Agent.
