It's rare that you look at listing photos of a property and get the same feeling as if you were on vacation.

The natural wood logs that make up the house are on display. 

The home was originally designed by Edinburgh-educated architect Ian Nicoll and built by Buck Bayliss, who's most well-known for building the McMichael Art Gallery

An office bathed in sunlight.

It has plenty of character, thanks to the post-and-beam and hand-hewn log construction.

The skylights let in tons of sunlight.

The abundance of skylights and oversized windows means the home is full of natural light, too.

"The sunroom is framed with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors which allows a seamless integration with the outdoor space including the dry stack stone walls, pool, hot tub, trees and gardens," Carolyn Scime told blogTO.
