A family-friendly island retreat with the warmth and character of a true Muskoka cottage, complemented by a newer luxury bunkie and two-slip boathouse, both built within approximately the last four years. Set on level land with 203 feet of sandy-bottom waterfront ideal for young swimmers, this Lake Muskoka property combines inviting gathering spaces, exceptional outdoor living, and beautiful views across the bay toward Pine Island.The three-bedroom cottage features warm wood finishes, vaulted ceilings with stained tongue-and-groove detailing, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert. A modern kitchen with stone countertops, two bathrooms, a laundry room, and a Muskoka room provide comfort and convenience.The detached luxury bunkie offers a private retreat for guests or an inviting primary bedroom escape, complete with granite tile flooring, vaulted ceilings, a spa-like four-piece bathroom, and its own front deck. Enjoy long summer meals on the spacious cottage deck, prepare dinner in the outdoor kitchen, or take in the lake views from the expansive sundeck above the newer two-slip boathouse. Seamless glass railings on both the cottage deck and boathouse sundeck preserve the views across the bay. A covered porch with a bar area off the boathouse offers the perfect spot to gather at the water's edge and cheer on a friendly game of volleyball in the shallow water along the sandy shoreline.Located approximately a 10-minute boat ride from several marinas, with access to dining, spa experiences, golf, and endless boating across Lakes Muskoka, Rosseau, and Joseph, this is a wonderful setting for making lasting cottage memories.
