Address: 1089 Arundel Lodge Road
Neighbourhood: Gravenhurst
Agent: Storey Badger , Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage, Port Carling
Price: $2,690,000
The Place: A Lake Muskoka cottage with a large boathouse on Skinner Bay.
The History: Two years and close to $1.3 million (including $100,000 on custom millwork alone) went into building this spacious family cottage. The sellers never lived here, but before putting the property on the market they staged the interior with designer pieces from Nienkamper, Moroso and Tom Dixon.
Big Selling Point: A catwalk extends from the cottage’s upper deck directly to the boathouse, making it easy for guests to stroll (or even roll, if they have mobility issues) to the lakefront.
Possible Deal Breaker: The clean lines and fresh paint inside this new build may disappoint buyers looking for a rustic country escape. Even so, simple touches like wide-plank floors and beamed ceilings give the interior a distinct “cottage” feel.
