About this home

This coveted private cottage is located at the southwest end of prestigious Lake of Bays, making it just over 2 hours from Toronto. It captures the essence of a true cottage experience, with incredible vistas, deep water, and a shallow beach on 160 ft of private shoreline. From the dock, enjoy effortless boating to Baysville, Dorset, Bigwin Island, or a scenic cruise along the historic Oxtongue River. Drive right up to the door and unload into the mudroom off the efficient kitchen. Inside the cottage, relax in the airy living room, enjoy a fire in the magnificent granite fireplace, sit out in the large screened-in veranda, drink UV filtered water from the tap, and take a nap in one of the private bedrooms. Many recent upgrades allow for instant move-in enjoyment of this airy three-bedroom cottage, which offers flexibility, with an office that can easily serve as additional sleeping quarters. The storage cabin by the shore, has electricity and provides space for storage, a servery, change room or relaxing retreat close to the water. The grounds are well maintained with crushed granite pathways and thoughtfully placed staircases make traveling around the property comfortable. The view from inside the cottage is as spectacular as it is outside on the expansive sun deck where you can enjoy BBQ meals. Soft outdoor lighting, built-in speakers and a water's edge fire pit round out the day at this much-admired property known as "Birchbent". Properties like this rarely come to market. Visit today and move in this summer.
