Cottage of the Week: $5 million for a Bracebridge cottage with a modern interior
Cottage of the Week: $5 million for a Bracebridge cottage with a modern interior
Address: 1476 Stephens Bay Road
Neighbourhood: Bracebridge, Ontario
Agent: Max Hahne, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage, Port Carling
Price: $4,950,000
The Place: A six-bedroom, six-washroom, modern-but-homey estate on Lake Muskoka.
Bragging Rights: Few home gyms could beat the view from this cottage’s oversized workout room, which comes complete with a walk-out deck for the post-exercise cool down.
Big Selling Point: This cottage seamlessly blends interior and exterior space. The master washroom, for instance, looks like it was carved into the surrounding rocks. There are also two exterior fireplaces, rough-hewn wood throughout (but especially in the kitchen) and rooms of floor-to-ceiling windows to make the best of the wide lakeside vista.
Possible Deal Breaker: We’re struggling to think of one. Maybe being five million dollars poorer would be a drawback, but anyone who’d bid on this place would probably be able to afford it.
By the Numbers:
• $4,950,000
• 6,200 square feet
• 6 bedrooms
• 6 washrooms
• 5 years old
• 5.39 acres of land
• 2-slip boathouse
• 2 outdoor fireplaces
• 1 indoor gym

Lovely property but the pictures don’t do any justice at all. An architectural photographer for a property this caliber would be great. :)
Why do you show all these ostentatious “cottages” that are outside of the price ranges of 99.9% of us? Where’s the reality? Where’s the nice getaways that most of us can actually relate to? I’m really tired of the fetishization of everything that the rich have. It’s destructive to our society.
