Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: Elephant’s Head on Lake Rosseau.

More than 4.5 acres ensures ultimate privacy, and the unhindered south and west exposures provide endless sunshine, cozy sunsets, and star gazing.

The land is a plateau that allows for easy strolling, with multiple sites to build a luxurious haven in keeping with the discerning buyer’s taste and vision.

Those who have enjoyed exploring Lake Rosseau, Lake Joseph, and Lake Muskoka undoubtedly know of this stunning and unique landmark. Elephant’s Head has a long-fabled history. The sizeable acreage of the land, marked from shore by the natural rock formation of an elephant’s head etched over thousands of years on this granite outcropping, is affectionately known as the “Hermitage.” The same family has lovingly enjoyed this property for six generations.

The private waterfront beckons you to jump into deep waters or meander down one of the multiple paths highlighted by a playground of granite boulders and calming, sunlit woods leading to your protected cove with gradual entry. Head out in a canoe, paddle board, or sail from the iconic 2-storey landmark boathouse.
