Cottage of the Week: $4 million for a Lake Muskoka island
ADDRESS: 1327 Peninsula Road, Port Carling
REGION: Lake Muskoka
AGENT: Richard Scully, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage, Port Carling.
PRICE: $3,895,000
THE PLACE: This island cottage is more luxury chalet than quaint getaway. The property includes a main residence with a loft overlooking the living room, a boathouse with a rooftop deck and a separate bunkhouse for visiting guests, all of which blend distinctly contemporary features—stainless steel kitchen appliances, marble countertops, even a heated granite floor in the Muskoka room—and the traditional cottage appeal.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The perfect party dock. Equipped with a built-in bar and barbecue, it’s a space made to entertain.
BIG SELLING POINT: Um, you’ll own your own island—3,222 square feet of property and another 1,200 square feet of water frontage that’s all yours.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: With so much deck space, a Muskoka chair addiction is almost inevitable.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $3,895,000 • $12,299 in property taxes • 3,222 square feet • 4 bedrooms • 3 bathrooms • 1 cabin • 1 double-slip boathouse
