1049 Baxter Road, Lake of Bays

Sitting on the coveted south shore and getting some of the most beautiful sunsets you can find, this mid-century modern styled cottage welcomes you into a warm post and beam Muskoka room with a central fireplace and vaulted two-story corrugated wood ceiling. The kitchen opens to a large dining room for entertaining and a panoramic sunroom with views of both the lake, forest, and exposed granite outcroppings behind the cottage. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a cozy sauna (for when you’ve finished a day of skiing in the winter), a basement family room, and a custom hand-crafted wooden spiral staircase that takes you to the second floor. The master bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom and a private walkout to the expansive deck.

The cottage sits facing west on a peninsula that places your dock perfectly in the middle of Lake of Bays with a view all the way to the end of Ten Mile Bay. On the other side of the peninsula is the Dorset Narrows which gives you consistently calm waters for paddle-boarding or a short boat ride into town for ice cream. The 201 feet of shoreline is a perfect balance of shallow and deep water. The lot slopes gently to the lake with lots of privacy from the tall white pines and oak trees over the property.

Situated between Baysville and Dorset, this property is very close to the Lake of Bays Tennis Club, Sailing Club, and Bigwin Island Golf Club. There is excellent cycling, hiking, and cross-country skiing. This property puts you in a central location to enjoy all that Lake of Bays has to offer while providing privacy, peace, and quiet. This is the opportunity to start many magical family memories for generations to come!
