722 Muskoka Rd. 10

This $1.5 million Huntsville cottage is a nature lover’s dream

When building the custom cottage at 722 Muskoka Rd. 10, there was a lot of thought put into it. The structure was inspired by the iconic Fallingwater house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright back in 1935. This particular house is famous for being built above a waterfall, seamlessly blending architecture with nature.

When building the Huntsville area home last year, the designers emulated this design philosophy by taking full advantage of its surrounding landscape. It perfectly overlooks Port Sydney Falls and even the deck is built right into the rock. Inside, the interior spans 2,000 square feet across two levels.

The community of Port Sydney is nestled on the shores of Mary Lake and the upper North Muskoka River, giving outdoor enthusiasts a lot to enjoy when they head up to the cottage.

This nature-filled escape is just a two-hour drive away from Toronto and on sale for $1.495 million.
