The Redstone Lake House

Known for its dramatic granite cliffs, crystal-clear water, and exclusive waterfront ownership, Redstone Lake is widely regarded as one of the premier lakes in the Haliburton Highlands. Spanning nearly 3,000 acres and forming part of a three-lake chain with Little Redstone and Pelaw Lakes, it offers kilometres of boating, exploration, and some of the most breathtaking scenery in cottage country.

Fed by waters flowing from southern Algonquin Park, Redstone is renowned for its exceptional water quality, remarkable depth, and excellent fishing. Unlike many recreational lakes, Redstone maintains a distinctly private atmosphere. Strict waterfront planning policies preserve the natural environment and low-density character of the shoreline.

A shoreline that changes with the seasons

The waterfront at The Redstone Lake House is truly unlike anything else on the lake. With over 1,000 feet of private shoreline, the property offers an extraordinary blend of deep water, rocky Canadian Shield frontage, sandy swimming areas, protected wetlands, and ever-changing seasonal features that transform the landscape throughout the year.

By autumn, the sandbar evolves into a private beach stretching more than 500 feet in length, creating an entirely new recreational space for beach games, bonfires, and sunset gatherings. Few waterfront properties offer such a dynamic relationship with the lake.

Beyond the rocky shoreline and open water lies one of the property's most remarkable and unexpected features: a thriving wetland ecosystem that transforms with the seasons and provides a front-row seat to some of Haliburton's most captivating wildlife.

Throughout the spring and summer months, the wetlands come alive with activity. Great blue herons glide silently across the water, frogs call from the reeds, and turtles return year after year to nest along the shoreline. Deer, foxes, and even the occasional moose are frequent visitors.

The shallow waterways invite exploration by canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard, offering a peaceful journey through one of the property's most serene landscapes. Hidden coves reveal new perspectives with every paddle.

Beyond the shoreline, The Redstone Lake House unfolds across approximately 46 acres of mature hardwood and softwood forest, creating a level of privacy and connection to nature that is increasingly rare to find.

Protected by rugged terrain and decades of careful stewardship, much of the forest has remained untouched for generations. Towering pines, mature maples, and old-growth trees — some estimated to be more than 150 years old — create a breathtaking landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons.

The property is currently enrolled in Ontario's Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program, which supports responsible forest stewardship while providing reduced property taxes. The existing plan is transferable to a new owner.

The Redstone Lake House is located within a private, well-established cottage community that offers the rare balance of seclusion and connection. Owners value privacy here, and at the same time, there is a genuine sense of mutual respect and quiet support among neighbours.

The road is maintained year-round by a proactive road association. Artisan Lane includes approximately 20 cottages along this stretch, many of which are actively used year-round. In winter especially, the community comes alive with cross-country skiing trails, ice rinks, and informal gatherings.

While the property feels wonderfully secluded, some of Haliburton's most celebrated attractions are just a short drive away. Explore thousands of acres of wilderness at Haliburton Forest, home to year-round adventures including hiking, mountain biking, snowmobiling, wolf centre experiences, and renowned dog sledding excursions. In winter, Sir Sam's Ski & Ride offers downhill skiing and snowboarding.

The nearby village of Haliburton provides convenient access to grocery stores, restaurants, cafés, local shops, healthcare services, and community events throughout the year.
