253 Hass Road, Carlow/Mayo, ON

Some properties check boxes. This one changes your pace of life entirely. Tucked into close to 6 private acres with zero neighbours in sight, this beautiful raised bungalow delivers the kind of seclusion that's nearly impossible to find - your own private pond, rolling Boulter Hills at sunset, and nothing but trees and sky in every direction. The main floor is where comfort meets function - a newer solid wood kitchen anchors the space with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, flowing into a warm, inviting living and dining area that feels both spacious and intimate. Patio doors off the dining room lead you straight out to a large deck built for serious entertaining - plenty of room for a hot tub, a full outdoor dining setup, and still space left over to just sit and watch the sun drop behind the Boulter Hills in a way that never gets old. Three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms are spread thoughtfully across both levels, giving everyone their own space without the home ever feeling oversized. Head downstairs and the lower level opens up into something special - a huge finished rec room complete with a bar, and a potential additional bedroom that works perfectly for guests, a home office, or rental income. A woodstove down here keeps the whole level cozy through the Hastings County winters, and direct access from the garage straight into the basement makes hauling in groceries or firewood effortless. The oversize attached garage, circular drive, and walk-out layout all add to the practicality this property quietly delivers. Cast a line in your own pond, hit the deck at sunrise, and explore the wildlife and trails right outside your door - this is what you pictured when you said you wanted out of the city. Just 25 minutes east of Bancroft for everything else. Rural Ontario living at its absolute best.
