Set on a quiet bay on Lake Muskoka just 8 minutes from Gravenhurst, this property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to secure an affordable piece of prime Muskoka waterfront in a highly desirable area. The existing cottage is no longer suitable for use, making this an ideal property for those ready to design and build a new cottage or year-round home tailored to their vision. The property features an oversized dock, a bunkie, two sheds, and a grandfathered footprint that may offer valuable future planning advantages for redevelopment. The shoreline offers deep water off the dock for swimming, diving, and easy boating access, while the terraced lot creates a beautiful flat gathering area at the waterfront, complete with a shoreline shed and fire pit area. The bay is peaceful and ideal for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing, and enjoying classic Muskoka evenings by the lake. Across the water are attractive properties that reflect the strong character of the neighbourhood. The naturally sloped topography of this property and the properties to both sides, work together with the natural tree cover to create a surprisingly private setting for a compact lot, giving the property more seclusion than the frontage measurement might suggest. The least private area is on the dock, as is the case with many cottages. Located on a private road that is maintained year -round, with deeded access, the property is surrounded by a mix of seasonal and year-round homes, including a newer neighbouring lake home occupied full time. The lot is private, yet low maintenance and manageable in size. Property is being sold ”as is, where is.”

Muskoka — synonymous with cottage country – is a household name in North America. Situated around three large lakes (Muskoka, Joseph, and Rosseau), the Muskoka region was once dubbed the ‘Hamptons of the North’ by The New Yorker, because of the number of celebrity estates in the area. Beautiful homes and well-appointed summer cottages offer breathtaking views of the lakes and constellations of private islands. The number of local residents more than doubles in the summer when 100,000 seasonal residents join the 60,000 lucky permanent residents of the Muskoka region. But the privacy afforded by sprawling tree-covered properties and the vastness of the granite-carved area means that Muskoka can easily accommodate visitors while maintaining everyone’s privacy and sense of open space. The Muskoka region is known for its exceptional dining, trendy shops, the craft beer scene, and contemporary art galleries and museums. Kids can choose from a variety of exciting summer camp programs and families can join in the year-round cultural festivals. When you’re not relaxing dockside, you can paddle. Whether you’re a serious kayaker or it’s your first time trying to figure out how to sit in a canoe, you’ll revel in hours of scenic adventure. Or just take your paddle board out on a lake, early in the morning, and attempt some inspiring yoga poses. From the haunting call of the loon to the variety of trees and vegetation local to the region, Muskoka is a nature lover’s paradise. But if hiking is not your favourite way to appreciate the grandeur, there are boat cruises that will offer you a new perspective.
