Cottage of the Week: $770,000 for a Huntsville cottage with a built-in cabana bar
Address: 1053 Hemlock Point Lane
Neighbourhood: Huntsville, Ontario
Agent: Scott Morrison, Coldwell Banker Thompson Real Estate, Brokerage and John Aben, Royal LePage Lakes of Muskoka Realty, Brokerage
Price: $769,900
The Place: A cozy, cedar-lined family cottage on Peninsula Lake in Huntsville.
Bragging Rights: The 1,200-square-foot dock has a built-in cabana bar for afternoon brews. Just add Jimmy Buffet music.
Big Selling Point: This cottage is located just across the lake from the popular Deerhurst and Hidden Valley resorts, plus downtown Huntsville is reachable by canoe (though it would be quite a long paddle).
Possible Deal Breaker: So, the décor is a little dated. The (relatively) affordable asking price may leave some room in the buyer’s budget for updates.

Is it a house or a cottage? Looks like a house, but if only used during the summer warmth, then it is a cottage. Or, could it be turned into a year-round house?
Hi wiklis, this is a year round home or cottage. Everything is winterized including upgraded insulation for energy efficiency. The current owners have raised a family here using it as their year round home but it would make a great cottage as well. Feel free to email me at smorrison@vianet.ca if you would like to book a viewing or if you have any questions. Scott Morrison, Coldwell Banker Thompson Real Estate
Guess I had better stop reading Toronto Life, its apparently only for multi-millionaires, with fluff “articles” like this real estate shilling…how much did they pay to have this posted?
