#176 Bittern Lake

Welcome to this pristine 750 sq. ft. one-bedroom cottage with a separate Bunkie, nestled on the peaceful shores of Bittern Lake, just north of Huntsville and 5 km west of the charming village of Novar.

This lovely four-season cottage is surrounded by over 100 acres of untouched natural land, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and exceptionally quiet surroundings. With only a few well-spaced cottages on the lake and no public access, Bittern Lake offers a peaceful and serene setting away from the busyness of larger, more developed lakes.

The interior is warm and inviting, featuring beautiful pine floors and ceilings throughout the open-concept kitchen, dining and living area. Cathedral ceilings add to the spacious feel, while comfortable, modern furnishings create a cozy atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors with screens allow the entire living area to open up like a Muskoka room, providing beautiful views of the lake and surrounding nature. On cooler evenings, gather around the fireplace and enjoy the cozy ambiance.

The primary bedroom is tucked away at the back of the cottage in a naturally shaded area, providing a peaceful retreat for a restful night’s sleep.

Start your mornings with a coffee on the lakeside deck while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The property features approximately 350 feet of natural shoreline and a small sandy beach area that children can enjoy. The waterfront is natural and undeveloped, with aquatic weeds and a soft, somewhat muddy lake bottom in areas, so swimming conditions are not ideal for those looking for a traditional sandy or clear-water swimming experience. Guests can still enjoy the lake by canoe or kayak, with both available for your use, and the natural shoreline makes a beautiful spot to relax and take in the scenery.

One of the most unique features of this property is its location within a land condominium, where fewer than 19 owners share over 100 acres of private natural surroundings. Enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails, as well as approximately 5 km of private roads perfect for leisurely walks. In the fall, the surrounding forest comes alive with beautiful colours.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful summer escape or a cozy four-season getaway, this cottage offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy the privacy and tranquility of a truly natural Muskoka setting.
