Welcome to this cozy cottage nestled in the woods on an acre of land! From the moment you arrive you will feel the weight of the city's hustle and bustle slip away. The property provides many tranquil spots and vantage points to enjoy views of the lake or to while away the hours at leisure. Start your day with coffees on the deck, enjoy the lake from the dock all day long, linger in the hammock for a late afternoon read, and end your day gathered around the fire pit roasting marshmallows...welcome to cottage life!
The crystal clear spring-fed lake is perfect for swimming and the depth of the water at the end of the dock is 8ft.. With two-thirds of the Lake being Crown Land and Wilderness Park, you can spend your days canoeing or kayaking in near-complete serenity. For the fishing enthusiasts, the lake is populated with Lake Trout, Speckled Trout, Small Mouth Bass and Perch.
The 30 year old cottage was lovingly built from lumber on the property. The main level open concept living room/dining room/kitchen lends to interactive family gatherings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The kitchen is equipped with modern stainless steel appliances with a built-in microwave and dishwasher and plenty of counter space. One bedroom, to the side of the kitchen, is great for quiet privacy. The upper level, completing the cottage, has two spacious bedrooms, perfect for a family with young children.
What are you waiting for? Kick back, relax and enjoy real cottage life, and become re-acquainted with your family...and yourself.
