Address: 1587 Seabreeze Road
Neighbourhood: Dwight
Agent: Andrew Bulloch, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage, Huntsville
Price: $5,999,000
The Place: A sleek and modern version of a log cabin on a 550-foot stretch of prime Lake of Bays shoreline.
Bragging Rights: The cedar-lined room that houses the hot tub doubles as a sauna.
Big Selling Point: Both the back patio and the sandy beaches get sun all day long, which makes swimming a lot more enticing.
Possible Deal Breaker: The soaring ceilings and rattan fans in the bedrooms seem better fitted to a luxurious tropical hideaway than a Canadiana-themed cottage.
