Your Muskoka Fairy Tale Awaits! At the very end of Cliffdene Drive and just below a dramatic rock cliff lies a classic, West-facing, Muskoka cottage with lots of privacy, lying on a gentle slope with almost 300 feet of beautiful Lake of Bays shoreline. This 3-bedroom Panabode-style cottage has original charm with lofty cedar ceilings and pine walls. A freshly painted roomy deck wraps around the lakeside of the cottage to a side door entrance while sliding doors lead from the deck into the spacious living / dining room – both with spectacular views of the abundant tall white pines that overlook Lake of Bays. The kitchen has a newer stainless steel fridge with beautiful wood cabinets and a kitchen island for extra cooking space. A four-piece bath sits between the two guest bedrooms, while the Principal bedroom overlooks the lake. Outside, several outbuildings surround the property. Adjacent to the nice flat parking area is a storage building / workshop. There’s a spacious Bunkie set below the cliff to the south of the cottage and a wood storage shed full of pre-cut logs for your fire. But that’s not all! A meandering path leads you down past a viewing (or yoga) platform to a tiny bridge and to your own wee island that serves as a privacy point for the south-western piece of the property. The U-shaped dock can house a decent sized boat and also comes equipped with a set of mooring whips. At the end of the dock it’s about eight feet deep - perfect for deep diving. There’s also a ladder that takes you onto the hardpacked sand and crystal clear water. Another outbuilding at the shoreline houses kayaks and water sports equipment. With the same owners for many years, this property is a cherished and private oasis waiting for you to write your own story. This beautiful property is conveniently located just 5 minutes to the town of Dorset for groceries, wine and other essentials.
