If privacy is what you seek, stop here and marvel the compelling features of this gem on a very desired lake in the heart of Muskoka! This idyllic property is beside and backs onto CROWN LAND! It is exceptionally PRIVATE! The loving care and maintenance by the owners are quite evident throughout the cottage and the property. Let your soul be warmed by all the warm pine floors, walls to ceiling, as you walk into the cottage. Your cooking talents will flow in the lovely, well-appointed country kitchen. Views of nature and cottage country wilderness through an abundance of windows. The open concept will keep conversations going and bring everyone together, as they lounge by the stone fireplace or in multiple areas of interior comfort. The Muskoka Room is the place to be when the sun goes down or any time one wants to sit beside the lake with a breeze coming through the room. The cottage is on a solid combined concrete/rock, full perimeter foundation. The exterior fieldstone fireplace chimney is an eye-catcher! There's a detached, double-car garage with a work bench and loft area for extra storage in addition to some outbuildings. The lot is a 10+ in terms of smooth rock granite and mature coniferous trees & walking trails with a real Algonquinesque vibe. Smooth rocky shore, ideal for wading and yet deep water at end of large, floating dock. The lake reaches 60' depth and supports bass & trout. Many properties on the lake are multi-generational. It is a real family-oriented lake community. Explore nearby trails on crown land for snowmobiling, hiking, ATVing, mountain biking, snowshoeing and much more. Conveniently close to the charming town of Dorset by approx 10 minutes and approximately 2.5 hours from Toronto. You will find it difficult to leave this property and cottage!
