Cross Streets: Hwy 141 & Skeleton Lake Road 2. ** Directions: from Hwy 141 to Skeleton Lake Road 2, to 1119 to unit 28. Skeleton Lake is the clearest water in Muskoka, and 310 feet of it belongs to this shoreline. Set on 4.6 private acres near the quiet end of a year-round private road, the cottage looks due north over big open water to a far, unbroken shore - the kind of long view that makes the evening sky the main event.Inside, a vaulted great room with a wood-burning fireplace opens through double doors to the sun deck and a screened Muskoka room, with hardwood underfoot and lake light from every window. The kitchen is maple and stainless with a breakfast bar and a pantry of its own. Five bedrooms and three baths sit across two levels: a lake-view primary with ensuite and jacuzzi tub, two more bedrooms and a four-piece bath on the main floor, and a walkout lower level with two further bedrooms, a full bath, rec room and laundry - room for two families, or one large one.Outside, decks wrap both levels. Wood steps set with granite treads wind down through hardwood and pine to a lakeside sitting patio beside a sandy swim cove, and on to an 800-square-foot dock over deep, glass-clear water - swim, moor, or simply sit. Upper and lower parking and true four-season access make arrival effortless in every month.Windermere House, golf at Diamond in the Ruff, and the villages of Port Carling and Rosseau are minutes away. Roughly two hours from Toronto.Properties with this much frontage, this much privacy, and this water are rarely offered on Skeleton Lake. (id:27476)
