THE PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY COUNTRY HOME WILL CONNECT YOU TO WHAT MATTERS

In our busy world, it’s too easy to get caught up in stuff that isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a place custom-built, designed, and decorated to help you connect with what matters most to you? If you haven’t already guessed, such a place already exists! Of course, we’re talking about the Prince Edward County Country Home.

Part of the $2.2 Million Grand Prize, which also includes $100,000 cash, this dazzling Country Home is ready to help you live your dream life. Let’s tour it now and see what’s in store for our lucky winner!

Surround yourself with family and friends

Let’s start at the top of the “what really matters” list. Everybody wants to spend more time with loved ones, and the Country Home is designed throughout to make that an enjoyable experience for everyone.

We expect the great room will be the heart of entertaining life at the Country Home. It’s wide open and oh-so-inviting, with the conversation area nestled beneath a soaring ceiling held aloft by classic post-and-beam construction. A warm area rug neatly defines the space, and you’ll find accent pillows and throw blankets ready to cozy up your time here.

Speaking of cozy, that doesn’t even begin to describe the magnificent gas fireplace! Featuring an elegant marble surround accented by chic yet rustic shiplap, it’s sure to cast a magical glow on all your treasured moments.

For more casual get-togethers (because balance is important!), you’ll want to take things to the lower lever, where the family room is ready and waiting for the fun to begin. With a black ceiling, end walls, and accents, there’s a touch of drama in the decor. But it also helps to make this an intimate room, one where you’re not afraid to just be yourself.

Movies or sports on the big screen are always fun. Plus, you can set up a board game on the coffee table for some friendly competition. This is a social place; you can almost hear the laughs and feel the love just looking at the pictures!

Self-care begins at home at the Country Home

If you want to be the best version of yourself, you must care for your mind, body, and soul. And what better place to start than in the chef-inspired kitchen?

This magnificent room is spacious, yet everything is where you need it—even if you didn’t know you needed it! The huge island is perfect for prep, dining, and laying out food for guests. Or even catching up on some work conveniently close to the fridge! The white cabinetry with black hardware, lighting, and a couple of glass-panelled cabinet doors make a stunning statement: this is a stylish yet serene space where all are welcome.

Another way to indulge in self-care is to get a good night’s sleep. It’s amazing what a rare thing that can be! With three beautiful bedrooms, there’s a place for everyone to unwind and refresh themselves. 

The principal bedroom, positioned in blissful solitude on the upper level, features dual closets, an ensuite, and the most inviting bed tucked into a dormer. You’ll feel secure and relaxed every time you climb under the sheets. And when you climb into the free-standing soaker tub! It’s all set for you to soak away your worries, including a book board with a notch to hold your stemmed glass. What a glorious private escape this oasis is! It’s like a home inside your home.

Speaking of a home inside a home, we don’t know how else to describe the utterly charming kids' bunk in the lower-level bedroom. It’s a child’s dream bed come true and a wonderful place for their imaginations to soar. We won’t blame any adults who want to curl up here and rediscover their inner child!

Making time for yourself has never been more appealing

All the experts will tell you: it’s important to clear room in your life to enjoy some “me” time. There are many places to do this in the Country Home, but we have two favourites. Will they be yours, too?

The first is the upper level loft. It’s adjacent to the principal bedroom, just outside the door at the top of the stairs. From here, you get a bird’s eye view of the great room below and out to the trees and Lake Consecon beyond. There’s a desk tucked into a nook, and it’s just right for jotting down your private thoughts in a journal. A pair of comfy chairs, each with its own side table and lamp, await you (and a partner if you want to be alone together) and your favourite book or magazine. Can you feel the stress drifting away already?

The second place we recommend for quiet reflection is the outdoor areas, either the covered walk-out patio on the lower level or the full-width sundeck. Naturally, you’ll want to eat and entertain out here, too. But it’s hard to imagine a better place to enjoy moments of peace and reflection. Look for birds, listen to the wind in the trees, soak up the sun or watch the rain. It’s all balm for the soul and just part of what makes Prince Edward County and the Country Home such special places.

After reading this, we know you’ll agree that our friends at Linwood Custom Homes and Lakeshore Designs have created a home that does more than put a roof over your head. It opens up possibilities to help you live life to the fullest! If that sounds like what you’re looking for, get your tickets now. The Prince Edward County Country Home plus $100,000 could be yours!
