Timeless and full of character, this cottage is classic Muskoka at it's best! Nestled on a lush, tree-lined, gently sloping lot with nearly 2 acres & a generous 385 ft of shoreline, this exceptional property has it all. An abundance of flat outdoor space for family gatherings, lawn games & lakeside entertaining. Panoramic views & sought-after southwest-to-southeast exposure, sunshine all day, deep water off the dock & a sandy beach ideal for children. A refreshing cross breeze flows across the property, keeping the cottage naturally cool and the bugs away creating a comfortable outdoor setting throughout the summer. Spend evenings under the moon & stars around the lakeside fire pit, watch the kids enjoy the private play structure, or unwind in the expansive Muskoka room with vaulted ceilings and long unobstructed lake views. Inside, beautiful pine walls & ceilings throughout evoke warmth & charm. A spacious living & dining area centred around a fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms with walkouts to the large decks, two full bathrooms, and convenient laundry. A separate bunkie provides additional accommodation for family & friends. Enjoy the benefit of numerous recent updates, WiFi-enabled systems, and a 14kW backup generator that deliver modern convenience and peace of mind. As one of Muskoka's coveted Big Three Lakes, Lake Muskoka offers endless opportunities to explore by boat, with access to waterfront restaurants, iconic destinations, championship golf & miles of breathtaking shoreline. Just a one-minute boat ride from the marina, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy & convenience. The best part yet - The potential is endless with a lot this size supporting the potential construction of a 2 storey boathouse and/or the opportunity to add onto the cottage subject to municipal approvals. Furniture may be negotiable so you might enjoy this rare opportunity to own a turnkey family retreat on one of Muskoka's most iconic lakes.
