A storage room, workshop and laundry are all on hand.A short stroll across the laneway brings you to a charming lakeside Bunkie with a 2-piece bath - guests will happily argue over who claims this spot.The 1 1/2 storey boathouse is built for summer fun. The upper level is a fabulous, enclosed space - ideal for board games, curling up with a good book or simply watching the boats drift by - and the perfect rainy-day retreat when Muskoka weather has other plans. A balcony suspended over the water offers sweeping panoramic views of the lake and Bigwin Island. Below, a single wet slip with electric lift and generous decking complete a truly exceptional waterfront package.The lot is a pleasure: a lawn made for outdoor games, perennial gardens and lake views at every turn. The shoreline offers hard-packed rippled sand and clean pebbles - easy, safe swimming for all ages.Private yet social. Established yet timeless.
