About the property

This custom-built, year-round cottage on Lake Joseph is located along the sought-after Port Sandfield-Minett Corridor and features lovely curb appeal both roadside and lakeside, level lands, an asphalt circular drive, and a hot tub. The property includes a principal residence, a guest cabin, a three-slip boathouse, and a two-car garage, all with Muskoka bevelled cedar siding. The principal residence is steps to the water and boasts vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling Muskoka stone fireplace, a dreamy octagonal screened room, an open-concept kitchen with lakeside dining, and a recreation room complete with billiard and shuffleboard tables, a treadmill, and a sauna. All rooms seamlessly flow together, and indoor and outdoor spaces are naturally integrated with an abundance of terrace doors that lead to covered waterside decks. A guest cabin provides ample extra space for family and friends. The three-slip boathouse was built to accommodate an airplane. This classic Muskoka property has been beautifully maintained and is oriented to capture the idyllic Cumberland Bay sunsets of south Lake Joseph.
