Connecting to ones environment was the aesthetic dream of these proud home owners. Early morning birdsong greets you from “the serenity of Waba Creek” which drains White Lake into the Madawaska River. This private natural paradise is truly in harmony with nature, boasting quiet, clear waters, mature woodlands and cultivatable land.
This 2 storey Western Red Cedar Home, designed by acclaimed Architect Richard White, is nestled on 3.7 acres on the picturesque “Waba Creek”. An idyllic, private wooded setting with passive solar orientation and panoramic views of nature’s wonderland, thoughtfully framed by expansive windows, patio doors and 2 exciting Solariums. This captivating home is intelligent in design, practical in operation, and will provide a dry, clean environment for decades to come. The architectural drawings are available and would suggest that the Home is approximately 4,000 square feet which includes 750 square feet of garage space. Although architecturally stunning, the basic concept of Richard White’s design was to produce a home that would provide energy efficiency, superior insulation, solar heat gain & an abundance of natural light using no fossil fuels.
These Homeowners were prompted not only by an aesthetic dream, but also by the desire for a lifestyle change, it’s no surprise that when these owners, who have such a predilection
for the outdoors finally started the arduous process of locating a vacant piece of land. With a sleuth’s savvy and a paparazzo’s determination, they naturally gravitated to the Ottawa Valley and the Arnprior countryside… It is no doubt that; the fresh clean air, wide open spaces, panoramic birds eye view of Waba Creek trickling through their rear yard, were the deciding factors on their choice of this prime location.
Who describes their workplace as “sublime” but then again; when your commute to work consists of a flight of stairs, maybe 3 4 or 5 if you stop for breakfast first. Create your dream home office. Your mornings won’t be hurried or full of rage- inducing bumper to bumper traffic. The new Buyer of this home could happily put the children on the bus at the end of the laneway, go for a brisk walk in the countryside, or perhaps take a leisurely canoe ride up Waba Creek. Now time to get to business, you could return home by 8:45 and begin your workday… A dream I don’t think so, not for this Robertson Line resident who has the luxury of endless space, healthy natural light, and access to high speed internet, providing an ideal work environment. Your private at-home Office may be linked directly to where the action is without the commute, emissions to the environment and child care expenses.
The Home: As inviting as it chic and minimalistic… styled for the times with a definite focus on natural light, dramatic space, and a connection to the environment. Home buyers today are realizing that contemporary, natural wood appointments create a warm and cozy interior, yet allow the freedom to breathe in an uncluttered surrounding. Shots of colour can be introduced to this clean palette through contemporary artwork, artifacts, and funky accessories. This eclectic custom home was designed by these proud homeowners for the sole purpose of entertaining in style, and constructing an environmentally friendly, yet aesthetically pleasing, modern architecture. An impressive open concept in two very distinct areas on the main level allows guests the freedom to roam & mingle. This sophisticated space suggests a more casual, comfortable lifestyle, wouldn’t we all love this!! Dramatic ceilings, interesting floor plan, western red oak plus maple flooring and fabulous windows combine to give this country gem a WOW factor. This stately retreat offers you and your family a tranquil lifestyle on an unspoiled 3.7-acre setting, surrounded by mature trees and loads of privacy. City minded Buyers can install an Olympic salt water in- ground pool, tennis court or even a putting range, the potential is endless.
The pace of life is fast – the future unknown, perhaps it’s time to take inventory and find solace in this inviting country atmosphere – an oasis for years to come…
Location, Location, Location… Enjoy the harmony of living in a country setting while taking advantage of this idyllic location, just 8 minutes away from the 417 and the growing Town of Arnprior, offering all the amenities you would ever need. Arnprior is a Town in Renfrew County, in the eastern portion of Southern Ontario, Canada. It is located at the mouth of the Madawaska River, as it enters the Ottawa River in the Ottawa Valley.
