Cottage of the Week: $2 million for a Haliburton new-build with plenty of lake frontage

Bragging Rights: Building wasn’t permitted on the west shore of Kennisis Lake until about a decade ago, so all of the cottages along the strip are shiny and new. There are no dilapidated shacks to mar the two-million-dollar view.

Big Selling Point: With 3.17 acres of land and 200 feet of water frontage, this place is a particularly spacious getaway for the cooped-up city dweller.

Possible Deal Breaker: The lower level is currently unfinished. Adding a fourth bedroom or a rec room would require some extra cash.

By The Numbers:

• $1,999,950 • $7,986 in property taxes (2013) • 3.17 acres of land • 4,284 square feet • 200 feet of water frontage • 6 bathrooms • 3 bedrooms • 3-car parking • 1 wood-burning fireplace
