About the property

This four-season lakeside property is under two hours from Toronto and ten minutes from Highway 400. With three bedrooms and an open-concept living space boasting lake views, this property is an entertainer’s dream. The main living area walks out to an exterior deck and a screened-in room at the waters edge, perfect for watching sunsets. Bonus spaces include the seasonal guest bunkie and a newer, separate garage that has lots of room for storage and high ceilings that can accommodate a trailered boat comfortably. The spacious, level backyard is framed by Muskoka granite rock face, with two fire pit areas to gather around. On the lake side of the cottage, you’ll find panoramic views over Twelve Mile Bay. The marina is minutes up the shore, and the open water of Georgian Bay is just a short boat ride away. An extended dock allows for plenty of boat-docking and deep-water swimming. This property was featured in Canadian magazine Style at Home.
