Set on a quiet bay on Lake Muskoka just 8 minutes from Gravenhurst, this property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to secure an affordable piece of prime Muskoka waterfront in a highly desirable area. The existing cottage is no longer suitable for use, making this an ideal property for those ready to design and build a new cottage or year-round home tailored to their vision. The property features an oversized dock, a bunkie, two sheds, and a grandfathered footprint that may offer valuable future planning advantages for redevelopment. The shoreline offers deep water off the dock for swimming, diving, and easy boating access, while the terraced lot creates a beautiful flat gathering area at the waterfront, complete with a shoreline shed and fire pit area. The bay is peaceful and ideal for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing, and enjoying classic Muskoka evenings by the lake. Across the water are attractive properties that reflect the strong character of the neighbourhood. The naturally sloped topography of this property and the properties to both sides, work together with the natural tree cover to create a surprisingly private setting for a compact lot, giving the property more seclusion than the frontage measurement might suggest. The least private area is on the dock, as is the case with many cottages. Located on a private road that is maintained year -round, with deeded access, the property is surrounded by a mix of seasonal and year-round homes, including a newer neighbouring lake home occupied full time. The lot is private, yet low maintenance and manageable in size. Property is being sold "as is, where is. "
Rare Lake Muskoka Redevelopment Opportunity. .. .. .. This unique Lake Muskoka property offers a rare chance to build your dream cottage on a developed lot, about 10 minutes from town, with grandfathered advantages not available on vacant land. The existing cottage is not usable at this time, , but the true value lies in what is already here: a large, grandfathered dock, a charming bunkie, and a storage shed all of which could possibly support your future plans for life on Lake Muskoka. The existing grandfathered dock on this property far exceeds what would be permitted on a vacant lot of the same size. Enjoy beautiful open views across the bay, excellent table land at the water's edge, and mature tree coverage that offers natural privacy. The neighbouring cottages are set at varying elevations, further enhancing the peaceful setting, and providing much more privacy than one would expect on a small lot. Accessed via a deeded private road maintained year-round by full-time residents, this lot is ideal for anyone seeking a four-season escape. A well-regarded local builder has already provided insight into how best to maximize the site's potential. Details can be shared with serious buyers. Buyers are encouraged to consult the Town of Gravenhurst bylaws or contact the Planning Department at 705-687-3412 to satisfy themselves regarding redevelopment options. Access to the inside of the cottage building is not permitted, as there is some debris that may cause safety issues. The bunkie and the shed are open. Seller makes no representations or warranties as to what may be built and property is being sold "as is where is". The Planning Department of the Town of Gravenhurst has the information of exactly what can be built on this property. Schedule B must be included with all offers.
