Enter into an idyllic oasis encompassing 2.27 acres, embracing 215 feet of Lake of Bays’ pristine shoreline with sought-after southern exposure in the heart of Muskoka.
The cottage, aptly named Arcadia (a place of simple, quiet pleasure) was custom built for the current owners in an exclusive community on Lake of Bays. Access is via Wallington Lane, a quiet and private road that services 9 cottages. The cottage fronts on Rat Bay; a small bay in the north end of Lake of Bays with a gently sloping lot.
Inside this year-round retreat, the open-concept living area is meticulously crafted for comfort and communal enjoyment, providing an ideal setting for entertaining friends and family.
A captivating stone-surrounded wood-burning fireplace serves as a striking focal point, imparting warmth and ambiance on cool evenings.
The dining area is generously sized and perfect for hosting sizable dinner parties. It seamlessly connects the well-appointed kitchen, creating an inviting and functional space for culinary delights and social gatherings.
For added enjoyment, a large stone patio overlooking the lake is a welcome spot for outdoor dining or, if you prefer, take in the surroundings from the attached Muskoka Room.
The main floor conveniently hosts the charming primary suite with a 4-piece ensuite, cherished lake views, and ample closet space for ease and comfort. Three spacious guest bedrooms are ideally positioned on the second level with bathrooms to ensure privacy and comfort.
Yet, the allure of this property extends beyond the interiors—venture outdoors to uncover the extraordinary waterfront. The gently sloping lot and gradual lake entry allow all to enjoy a refreshing swim while a spacious dock beckons for leisurely afternoons under the sun. Lake of Bays, with its extensive boating opportunities, multiple launches, and convenient marina services, amplifies the allure of this location. Following blissful days by the lake, a rejuvenating outdoor shower awaits, surrounded by the tranquil sounds of nature.
This stunning property, whether cherished as a permanent home or seasonal cottage, can become your canvas for creating cherished memories, a sanctuary for relaxation, and your passage to the serene allure of Muskoka living.
Seize the opportunity to transform this lakeside paradise into your very own haven! Notably, the construction of the building is ICF, and the roof has been outfitted with Enviroshake shingles, ensuring durability and energy efficiency for enduring comfort in every season.
