Cottage #509

Welcome to this spectacular 4,200 sq. ft., 3 level, 5 bedroom cottage and spacious one bedroom boathouse bunkie on the peaceful shores of Gloucester Pool. It is the perfect vacation destination for a large family or 2 small families!

The property, original cottage and boathouse were purchased by the owner’s family in the late 1970’s, bestowing many a fond memory of cottage country for generations. One of the main drawing cards for purchasing the property, besides loving all that it has to offer, was that this area is the first of the Great Canadian Shield and is only 1.5 hours from Toronto.

The current owners took down the original cottage and built this beautiful new traditional log cottage from the bottom up and completely renovated the boathouse. Great attention to detail was made in creating a home away from home that satisfied every need a family would want in a city home, even air-conditiong for the really humid nights, but with cottage chic flair.

As you step in from the driveway foyer, you are greeted with stunning tree-top views of the lake from a wall of floor to cathedral ceiling windows. The open concept kitchen/dining/living area is warm and inviting with pine ceilings, log walls, cork flooring, a gorgeous floor to ceiling wood burning stone fireplace and tastefully appointed furnishings and cottage décor accents.

Rounding out the main level is a 2-piece bathroom and a spacious lake-facing master bedroom with its own 3-piece ensuite and direct walk-out to the upper deck.

The upper level has 2 comfortable bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom and an open loft family room, while the lower level has 2 more cozy bedrooms, a 3-piece bathroom with laundry equipment and a family room complete with a Tiki bar and direct walk-out to the lower deck.

And if all this living space for the family to spread out in is not enough, there is also a boathouse with a bedroom, 3-piece bathroom, open concept kitchen/dining/living area with a direct walk-out to a deck literally over the water.

The 80 feet of waterfront is ideal for both young and old alike, with a sandy shallow area, great for the kids to safely splash and play in the lake. With a southwest exposure, you will enjoy sunshine all day, starting from 10am and then in the evening embrace glorious sunsets from any of the decks. With a canoe and kayaks at your disposal be sure to get out onto the water and explore the lake.

Gloucester Pool is a large lake with renowned fishing for a variety of species such as bass, pike, walleye, muskey and lake trout.

For avid boaters, you will want to bring your own boat or rent one as you are on the expansive Trent-Severn waterway where you can enjoy endless hours of boating and take in the awe of watching the unique lock system marine railway at “Big Chute”. There are also many restaurants that are a short boat ride away in Port Severn and White Falls is also a short boat ride away for great swimming and snorkeling.

Complete your long fun filled days back at the cottage with a BBQ dinner and marshmallows roasted over the fire pit for dessert while the sky fills with a blanket of stars as another great day comes to a close!
