About 851 Canso Rd
Perched on a 0.88-acre West-facing bluff, this custom home offers privacy, peace, and quiet, surrounded by eagles and other wildlife. Expansive decks provide sunset views and a perfect spot for stargazing. The open-concept interior features vaulted ceilings, skylights, and warm natural light that creates a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen invites personal touches, whether enjoyed as is or as a blank canvas for a dream design. This home blends rustic charm with modern self-sufficiencies. A heat pump provides efficient heating and cooling, and a commercial-grade generator with propane systems makes it a haven for sustainable living. Outside, multiple decks offer spaces for entertaining or peaceful solitude. Thoughtfully upgraded with practical comforts, this home retains its cozy, cabin-like feel while offering all the amenities for modern living. It’s more than a home—it’s a private sanctuary where nature, comfort, and sustainability meet.
