**Private 12.2 Acre Oasis with Energy-Efficient Custom Home & Swimming Pond** Lot 55006 PTH 13, RM of Portage la Prairie Discover the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and modern living on this 12.2-acre property just 45 minutes from the Winnipeg perimeter (west or south), 30 minutes to Portage la Prairie or Carman, and under an hour to Morden/Winkler. Tucked away in a beautifully treed setting, right off of the paved highway 13, this property offers both tranquility and accessibility. At the heart of the property, a scenic walking path winds through the trees to your very own private swimming pond with a sandy beach shore — perfect for summer swims, winter skating, and year-round enjoyment. The 1,408 sq ft bungalow, custom-built in 2020, was designed to the highest energy-efficient standards with passive house principles in mind. Features include 2x8 staggered stud walls, airtight construction, European tilt-and-turn windows and doors, and a 10.5kw ground-mount solar system. With large south-facing windows filling the living room with natural light, hydro bills are often in the negatives through the summer and remain very affordable through the winter. Inside, you’ll find 4 spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and large ensuite. The main floor also offers a second full bathroom, main floor laundry, and an open-concept living space with soaring 10 ft ceilings (17 ft sloped in the living room). The kitchen is a chef’s dream with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, soft-close drawers, stainless steel appliances, an induction stove with dual oven, walk-in pantry, and a generous island. From the kitchen, step onto the 18x18 ft deck (built in 2023) for summer barbecues and outdoor entertaining. The basement features 9 ft ceilings, in-floor heating, and is partially finished with plenty of space to customize — including a large roughed-in area for a future third bathroom. An attached 2-car heated garage includes a 250v outlet, ideal for EV charging or workshop use. The property also offers municipal water, newly installed fibre optic internet, and a heated outdoor dog house. For families - the school division for this property is Prairie Rose School Division. This rare property combines modern efficiency, natural beauty, and unbeatable lifestyle amenities — a true retreat within easy reach of the city.
