This coveted private cottage is located at the southwest end of the prestigious Lake of Bays, the second-largest Muskoka Lake and is uniquely quiet and not overdeveloped. It's just over 2 hours from Toronto & 20 minutes from the towns of Bracebridge and Huntsville. It captures the essence of a true cottage experience, with incredible vistas, deep water, and a shallow beach on 160 ft of private shoreline. Enhanced privacy comes from the 60 ft township road allowance abutting the property. From the dock, enjoy this magnificent lake. Easy boating destinations are Baysville, Dorset, or the beautiful, historic Oxtongue River. Drive right up to the door and unload into the mudroom off the efficient kitchen. Inside the cottage, relax in the airy living room, enjoy a fire in the magnificent granite fireplace, sit out in the large screened-in veranda, drink UV filtered water from the tap, and take a nap in one of the private bedrooms. Many recent upgrades allow for instant move-in enjoyment of this airy three-bedroom cottage, which offers flexibility, with an office that can easily serve as additional sleeping quarters. The storage cabin by the shore has electricity and provides space for storage, a servery, a change room or a relaxing retreat close to the water.

This is what a summer in Muskoka is supposed to look like. The boat is tied to the dock. The paddle boards are already in the water. Someone is cooking outside while everyone else is sitting around the fire deciding whether to watch the sunset from the dock or squeeze in one last swim before sunset. It's the kind of place where weekends accidentally turn into weeks. Set on a shallow entry shoreline on Dickie Lake in the Township of Lake of Bays, this property gives you all of that without the renovation projects that usually come with waterfront ownership. The entire cottage has already been renovated from top to bottom and is being sold fully furnished exactly as shown, right down to the furniture, making it completely turnkey from closing day. Inside approximately 1,650 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The custom kitchen was built for gathering, complete with quartz countertops and backsplash, a waterfall island, coffee and juice bar, beverage centre and Frigidaire Professional appliances. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and oversized windows keep the space feeling bright while still giving you that classic cottage atmosphere. Every major upgrade has already been completed, including new windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, buried hydro, metal roof, heat pump with year round heating and cooling, propane fireplace, UV water filtration system and a Generac backup generator. Nearly an acre of private property surrounds expansive entertaining decks, a fully equipped Napoleon outdoor kitchen, lakeside gazebo, new floating dock, firepit area and clean, beautiful waterfront. Minutes from Baysville, you're close to Bigwin Island Golf Club, Deerhurst Highlands, Hidden Valley Ski Area, Limberlost Forest, Algonquin Provincial Park and countless hiking, ATV and snowmobile trails. Whether it's your full time home or your family's place to disappear every weekend, this is the kind of property that lets you spend your time enjoying Muskoka instead of working on it.
