The tour

Located on the southeastern shores of Lake Muskoka, the property is built into an outcropping of Canadian Shield granite.

Here’s the driveway, flanked by a dense forest.

The entrance—almost ecclesiastical—features a stone patio.

Inside, the foyer is equipped with a built-in bench and vaulted ceilings.

Just beyond the foyer is the living room, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a gas fireplace.

Around the corner is the dining area. It walks out to the jumbo deck (more on that later).

Turn around and you’re in the kitchen, with custom cabinetry and a four-seater island.

This is the family room: a twin to the living space.

Down the hall is the main bedroom. Its shiplap ceilings are a nice touch.

The four-piece main ensuite bathroom comes with a glass shower and a double vanity.

Here’s one of the secondary bedrooms—this one with a walkout to the deck.

And here’s the shared bathroom.

Now for that deck, complete with a lounge, a dining area and a killer view.

The rear of the cottage descends to a firepit.

And here’s the 2,000-square-foot two-slip boathouse.

What a view.

Inside the boathouse: ample space for vehicles and plenty of storage for other rec gear.

There’s also a wet bar that serves the deck.

Moving upstairs reveals the open-concept space and its dramatic ceilings.

This is the property’s guest cabin. Note the cute porch.

The guest cabin has another fireplace.

It also has a kitchenette with a wine-friendly fridge.

The guest bedroom is 100 square feet.

This is the cabin’s three-piece bathroom.

Here’s one of two identical bunkies for visiting friends and family.

Those living in Toronto studio apartments would be jealous of the bunkie’s bedroom.

And its rustic bathroom.

Finally, here’s one more look at the lake from the main house.
