If you’ve ever wanted to own a true piece of Muskoka history, now’s your chance. Lighthouse Island—a 2.39-acre island in the Gravenhurst Narrows on Lake Muskoka—is for sale for the first time in over 100 years. Accessible by a 10-minute boat ride from Lakeshore Landing Marina, the original three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage was built in 1911. Part of the island was previously purchased by the federal government to be used for a navigational lighthouse that is still partially in use today. The island features a sandy cove, untouched shorelines, and 360-degree views of the lake. There are plenty of opportunities to restore the property to its former charm and celebrate its heritage. A new survey is also available for more information on the land.
