Cottage of the Week: $8.5 million for a Lake Muskoka log cabin

ADDRESS: Peninsula Road, Port Carling

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Lake Muskoka

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

PRICE: $8,495,000

THE PLACE: This giant log cabin overlooking Lake Muskoka proves that the classic cottage can be both rustic and luxurious.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: It’s really, really big. The main house is a behemoth—7,007 square feet—and includes a wine cellar, a gourmet kitchen and enough space for the whole family to spend the night (five bedrooms and five bathrooms).

BIG SELLING POINT: Sure, this cottage is huge; but it’s also homely. The B.C. cedar logs inspire both a sense of awe and a sense of warmth, while the interior space feels grand without being overwhelming.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The master bedroom is bold and beautiful—but it also features an open-concept bathroom. Not everybody wants everything in plain sight.

BY THE NUMBERS: • $8,495,000 • •7,007-square-foot main house • 990 feet of lakefront property • 5 bedrooms • 5 bathrooms • 3-car garage • 3-slip boathouse • 1 wine cellar • 1 outdoor bar • 1 built-in barbecue
