A Five-Bedroom Waterfront Retreat in Manitoba

$680,000 (899,900 CANADIAN DOLLARS)

This custom-designed, five-bedroom house sits on the sloping banks of the Bird River, east of the small town of Lac du Bonnet and a lake of the same name, in the cottage country of Manitoba, Canada.

Built in 2011 on almost two acres, with 265 feet of river frontage, the 3,122-square-foot house is accompanied by a two-bedroom guesthouse and garage workshop, a stand-alone indoor bonfire pit, a waterfront bar and two boat docks.

The two-story, wood-frame house has stucco walls, a red metal roof and a wraparound deck, said Greg Tino, an agent with RE/MAX Executive Realty, which has the listing. A long, wooded driveway leads to the house, with a stairway up to the main entrance on the second floor.

A three-season sunroom with an indoor vented barbecue is to the left, and a great room with a dining area and open kitchen is to the right. The great room, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, has beamed maple ceilings, poured-concrete floors and a propane fireplace.
