About this home
There's something special about a cottage that still feels like a cottage. Set among the trees on the quiet shores of Leech Lake, this charming three-season retreat offers the kind of simple Muskoka experience people come north looking for: peaceful water, surrounding forest, evenings around the fire, and a cozy cottage to call your own. With approximately 146 feet of northwest-facing frontage and a generous lot of nearly an acre, the property feels private and relaxed while still being just a short drive from Bracebridge. The shallow, sandy shoreline makes it easy to enjoy long summer days by the water, whether you're swimming, paddling, fishing, or simply settling into a Muskoka chair with a cup of coffee. Inside, the approximately 860 sq. ft. cottage is warm, welcoming, and full of character. Tongue-and-groove wood finishes create that unmistakable classic cottage atmosphere, while the open living space, wood-burning fireplace, and views toward the lake make it an easy place to settle in. Three bedrooms provide room for family and guests, while the wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors and gives you a front-row seat to quiet mornings and long summer evenings overlooking the water. A detached, insulated two-car garage adds another layer of versatility, with more than 700 additional square feet to make your own. Wired for an EV charger, you can use it for vehicles and cottage toys, create a workshop, or let it evolve into a games room or casual summer hangout with the garage door open and friends gathered nearby. Whether you're looking for your first Muskoka cottage, a weekend escape from the city, or simply a quieter place to spend your summers, this is an inviting opportunity to enjoy waterfront ownership without overcomplicating it. Close enough to Bracebridge for groceries, restaurants, shops, and a day in town, yet far enough away that when you arrive, it feels like you've escaped.
