Nestled on the shores of Lake Joseph, one of Muskoka’s most famous (and star-studded) lakes, 26 Gordon Bay Rd. is a cottager’s dream come true.
Aside from its crystal clear water, sweeping views and countless water activities, broker Claire Parkinson notes the property’s proximity to endless amenities accessible by boat, including golf courses, fine dining and marinas.
Blending traditional Muskoka style with Cape Cod influences, this spectacular lakefront property has been transformed into a marvellous four-season cottage. Renowned interior designer and HGTV host Sarah Richardson also worked on the property, lending her design expertise to the entire space.
Listed for $8.5 million, this fully-furnished shoreline cottage features three plus two bedrooms. Additional perks include a live-in boathouse, a three-car garage, and 300 feet of private waterfront perfect for swimming, boating and watersports.
Surrounded by warm accents with pops of colour and tasteful rustic touches, the cottage exudes a delightful ambiance.
An impressive open-concept living, dining and kitchen space featuring solid reclaimed wood floors offers breathtaking lake views and soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed fir beams.
The kitchen, with its chef-inspired appliances and custom cabinetry, has everything a cooking enthusiast needs to craft a great meal for family and friends. Thoughtful country kitchen accents and family-style dining arrangements only add to its charm. And let’s not forget that Lake Joseph view!
The primary bedroom offers a warm, sophisticated space with sun-dappled windows, a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom. It’s the perfect escape for an afternoon nap or quiet moment.
On the lower level, a walk-out family room boasts further lake views and plenty of space to stretch out. The granite hardscape patio offers a great spot to take in the scenery — including the miniature lighthouse across the water.
“The lighthouse view across the bay is so charming,” notes Parkinson, who also points out the cottage’s fabulous sauna amenities.
The multi-use boathouse includes a two-bedroom suite with a kitchenette, bathroom and living space on the upper floor. See the lighthouse in the distance? It’s an endearing quirk of the landscape. Imagine taking in the scenery from the boathouse balcony while listening to the loon’s call.
An expansive dock with separate float plane parking makes for an impressive space to use as a launching pad to explore the area’s many inlets and bays.
And, for those who love time in the water, the private shoreline is ideally designed for a dip. “Hard packed rippled sand bottom with shallow entry is perfect for young kids to swim and play,” notes Parkinson.
