Cottage of the Week: $3.2 million for an expansive getaway perched above Lake Muskoka
By Fraser Abe |
By Fraser Abe |
Address: 1361 Foreman Road
Neighbourhood: Port Carling, Ontario
Agents: Ben and Dan Imrie, Chestnut Park Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $3,150,000
The Place: A long, ranch-style cottage with a boathouse on Lake Muskoka, a few minutes from Port Carling.
Bragging Rights: If the lake views aren’t enough to dispel the stress of the workweek, you can child’s pose your cares away in the yoga studio.
Big Selling Point: The house is only two years old, which means you won’t have to deal with repairs when you’d rather be sunning yourself on the deck. Or, for even less responsibility, you could just rent the place for $10,000 a week.
Possible Deal Breaker: The three slip boathouse may feel a bit empty with just a canoe inside. Better save up for something that can pull a tube.
By the Numbers:
• $3,150,000
• 5 bedrooms
• 4 bathroms
• 2,826 square feet
• 3-slip boathouse
• 2 years old
• 1.57 acres

love it! amazing. I was tempted at first to say typical TL with a cottage feature but really a house, but its a really really lovely expensive and beautiful high end cottage. Love that living room by the Boat Slip – go out on the lake on a warm day, come back to your cottage, but call your servant before arriving home to ensure a few martinis are ready on the Boat Sliip living room! amazing! bedrooms are huge!!!
