Cottage of the Week: $1.3 million for a pretty Acton Island property with a luxurious master bedroom
ADDRESS: 1046 Apiary Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Lake Muskoka
AGENT : Cameron and Karen White , Re/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd., Brokerage
PRICE: $1,285,000
THE PLACE: Sitting on the southern tip of Acton Island in Lake Muskoka, this cottage offers the privacy of island living with an added convenience: there’s a bridge that connects the property to the mainland.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The master bedroom. The vaulted ceilings and open-concept living space create the chic feel of a downtown loft. But the wall of windows opening onto a private deck and the wood-burning fireplace maintain that traditional sense of rustic living.
BIG SELLING POINT: It comes fully furnished. Better to spend the last few weeks of summer on the dock rather than scrambling to decorate your new digs.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: If you want the exterior to match the trendy interior, you’ve got a lot of renovating in your future.

The bunkhouse
This…is one heck of a cottage. I love the living room with vaulted ceiling, what a wonderful lakeside retreat.

My husband and I have long dreamed of a house with room for the air hockey table.
I dunno…it’s just not the same as my old cottage. No bats in the rafters squeaking at night, no mice in the kitchen leaving little presents on the counter.
Worth the drive to Acton…Island!
Beautiful!!
I love the boathouse and deck …………….sigh!
Billards in the boathouse is actually shuffleboard – who are these writers?
Yay Effa and Kim! Glad to know I wasn’t the only one to catch that. As usual TL puts up a good game but can’t finish…
