St. Helen’s Island

ADDRESS: St. Helen’s Island

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Muskoka Lakes

AGENT: Richard Scully, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage

PRICE: $12,000,000

THE PLACE: A 1.6-acre island on Muskoka’s Five Mile Bay with a main cottage, a two-bedroom guest cottage and a boathouse with yet more accommodation.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: Other than owning an entire island? How about the 1,677 feet of waterfront—you’ll be able to find a sunny patch at any hour of the day.

BIG SELLING POINT: The three-slip boathouse has a massive deck, dockside gazebo, wet bar, stone patio and fire pit (and amazing sun exposure). If only garages in the city were this well-appointed.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The great room in the main cottage, with a huge stone fireplace, dark wood finish, deer and duck taxidermy and antler-like light fixtures, has the impressiveness of a hunting lodge, but is probably a love-it-or-hate-it room. Vegans will want to redecorate immediately.

BY THE NUMBERS: • $12,000,000 • 6,400 square feet of living space • 5 bedrooms • 4 bathrooms • 3-slip boathouse • 1.6 acres • 1 island
