Description

This beautiful Viceroy cottage, located on a double-sized lot with amazing privacy and 204 feet of frontage on Lake of Bays, was built with an 18-foot open concept span and fully supported foundation about 35 years ago and has been meticulously maintained by its craftsman owner ever since! A 10 X 45-foot deck overlooks the gently sloping property down to the water and includes a screened-in Muskoka room to take in the breathtaking views.

The main cottage has a total of 3+ bedrooms and two bathrooms on two levels. Septic is approved for 3 bedrooms. Stainless steel appliances adorn the kitchen and eating area which overlooks the sunken living room featuring gorgeous pine walls and WETT-certified fireplace. Both levels are fully insulated (R18 in walls and R40 in ceilings). Forty-four gradual steps lead down to the 4 year-old dock where you can take in views of Emerald Bay, The Narrows and the sunrise. There is also an 8 X 12 Bunkie and a 6 X 8 sauna (a former ice hut!) behind the lakeside shed.

Excellent internet and cell service. The new heated line and pump were installed in 2021. The property boasts an HDR recovery system, an ultra-violet water purification system, 200-amp service, a back-up Generac generator and high efficiency furnace. The roof is 5 years old and the septic has been pumped every 3 to 5 years.

The property is well-located off Hwy 117, just down the road from Bigwin Island Golf Club, about 400 metres to a municipally maintained road, and an 8-minute drive to the town of Dorset. The owners pay about $300 per year to have winter road access to the property and about $250/year for summer road maintenance. There is parking for at least 6 vehicles.
