Set within the prestigious estate community of Emerald Links Estates, this custom-built bungalow is defined by its grounds--an expansive, private acre that evolves with the seasons and anchors the home in its landscape. Layered perennial gardens, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed stonework-supported by a full irrigation system-create a setting that feels both curated and natural. The south-facing backyard captures light throughout the day, centred around an inground saltwater pool, generous entertaining areas, a custom gazebo, and a tucked-away hot tub. Inside, the home opens with volume and light. Soaring ceilings and a full wall of windows frame uninterrupted views of the landscape, while a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the living room, open to the dining area and seamlessly connected to the kitchen. An expansive centre island, stone counters, abundant storage, and a butler's pantry support both daily living and entertaining. The sunlit eating area overlooks the gardens and pool. A laundry/mudroom with access to the 3-car garage and 2-pce bath complete the main level. A private primary suite occupies one wing, complete with two walk-in closets and an oversized ensuite featuring dual vanities, a soaker tub, and separate shower. On the opposite side, two additional bedrooms--each with walk-in closets--share a 5-pce Jack & Jill bath. The finished lower level offers exceptional versatility with a large family room, games area, dedicated home theatre, additional bedroom with gas fireplace, full bath, and ample storage with direct garage access. Recent updates include 20 thermal pane windows (2026), LVP flooring and added bedroom (2026), re-sanded stone pavers (2025), pool heater (2023), and 50-yr Malarkey roof (2020). Notable features: Generac generator, irrigation (12 zones), water filtration system, security system with 9 cameras, and more. Country privacy with city convenience-just 25 minutes to downtown Ottawa and minutes to Manotick and Barrhaven.
