Property Description
This cherished property has been held for 5 generations on Taylor Island, nestled on Lake Muskoka part of a spectacular chain of three lakes. Muskoka memories are etched in the walls and soar throughout the grounds of this truly magical property. Set on a breathtaking 5.7-acre parcel with 270 ft of unique, private shoreline, it shines with remarkable redevelopment potential. The gentle lower grade by the dock presents an ideal site for a future build, while towering trees ensure privacy on both sides. A deep lot stretches back to the hydro corridor, providing private trails that run the entire length of the island. The main cottage is perfectly perched on a dramatic rock lookout, capturing expansive lake views, while an 12x18 sleeping cabin enjoys that coveted, grandfathered waters-edge location. From the level waterfront area, you can choose between two pathways leading up to the cottage one with a gentle slope, perfect for both the young and young-at-heart. Inside, step into a world where cherished memories and modern comforts blend seamlessly. A charming 1930s living room pairs beautifully with a thoughtful 2005 addition, featuring a screened porch, an insulated two-bedroom plus bathroom wing, a spacious eat-in kitchen with separate pantry, and an extended workshop. Large windows and multiple decks and sitting areas showcase spectacular views, while two new airtight wood stoves stretch your cottage season from early spring into late fall perfect for soaking in vibrant autumn colours and cozy evenings by the fire. A shallow, sandy cove is ideal for children, and a whimsical tree house adds a touch of magic nestled among the trees. Just a quick seven-minute boat ride from the marina, complete with a dedicated dock space, this property offers exceptional privacy and endless possibilities whether for continued enjoyment or an extraordinary new build.
