FOR SHORE
AREA
Located on beautiful Lake Muskoka, in Bala Bay. A 2-minute car or boat ride to Bala where you have all the conveniences of restaurants, curated shops, beer store, liquor store, marina, bank and the famous Don’s Bakery. 15 minutes to both Port Carling and Gravenhurst! Being near the end of the bay there is minimal boat traffic, which emphasizes privacy. Boating access to all of Lake Rousseau and Lake Joseph.

PROPERTY
FOR SHORE rests on a wonderful 1.25-acre property with both gardens and trees around the front entrance. The charming Main Cottage sits on a vista where you can view the pristine and undeveloped lands across the lake. Beside the Main Cottage is a sizeable deck with panoramic views of the lake along with a table with 4 chairs, and 2 Muskoka Chairs for lounging. Alongside is the Weber propane barbeque and Weber Charcoal Barbeque for memorable cottage meals! Down the stone walkway, you will pass the generous firepit complete with stumps for sitting and skewers for roasting marshmallows or hotdogs.

The U-shaped dock gives you a great area to relax any time of day with comfortable Muskoka chairs surrounding a small table. The water inside the dock area is waist high and goes to over 10 feet, and deeper, at the end of the dock where you can jump, dive and swim to your heart's content. Just off the dock is a 20ft x 6ft swimming mat perfect for play or basking in the sun. Lots of space for jet skis or boats to park.

The boathouse rooftop is a highlight with a perfect waterside view of the bay along with sitting bar for 6, 4 chaise loungers, oversized hammock and a fantastic relaxing area with cushioned 3 seat couch, 2 seat love seat, 2 spacious lounge chairs and glass table.
