Spend your summer days swimming in the river, paddling along the shoreline, and soaking in the peaceful beauty of Muskoka at this charming waterfront cottage on the North Branch Muskoka River. Picture morning coffee in the screened-in Muskoka Room, lazy afternoons by the clean, sandy shoreline, and evenings surrounded by nature in your own private waterfront retreat. Set on a generous 95 x 199 ft pie shaped lot, this inviting property features a floating dock, and convenient stairs leading to the water's edge, all just a short drive from town amenities. Inside, the cottage offers a bright, welcoming living space with views of the river and surrounding trees, one main-floor bedroom, and a 2pc bathroom. The screened-in Muskoka Room is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy the fresh air, or simply take in the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Grab a paddle for a short five-minute trip to the majestic Balsam Chutes, where a secluded sandbar cradled by the river invites you to relax and soak in the breathtaking scenery. A detached Bunkie provides additional space for family and friends, while a separate storage shed and workshop offer plenty of room for tools, recreational equipment, and cottage essentials. High-speed fibre optic internet is available, making it easy to stay connected while enjoying your getaway. Whether you're searching for a weekend escape, a family cottage, or an opportunity to create your own dream waterfront retreat, this property offers plenty of possibilities.
