About this property
Welcome to beautiful and private Dog Bay on sought-after Baptiste Lake, where refined waterfront living meets the natural beauty of the Highlands. This exceptional offering delivers two fully outfitted cottages, one cohesive lifestyle, and a turnkey opportunity for extended family use or income generation. Rebuilt from the ground up, the principal cottage offers over 1,400 sq. ft. of finished living space, while the secondary cottage is fully self-contained. Each features its own kitchen, living area, bedrooms, and bathroom, comfortably accommodating up to 11 guests with flexibility and privacy. Set on a private 1.37-acre parcel with 200 feet of clean, direct shoreline, both cottages are positioned to capture elevated southern exposure and expansive lake views. Outdoor living is purposefully designed with a 20 x 30 ft. deck, a 12 x 36 ft. dock, and armour stone landscaping that integrates seamlessly with the natural setting. A large detached garage provides practical storage for recreational equipment. This is a true four-season asset. Enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing in the summer, with snowmobiling, skating, and ice fishing in the winter. Both cottages offer warm, well-finished interiors that function as comfortable retreats year-round. Located just 20 minutes from Bancroft, the property balances privacy with convenient access to amenities. Close proximity to OFSC and recreational trails, as well as access to hundreds of acres of Crown land directly across the road, and across the bay, makes this property perfect for greatly expanding your recreational experiences. Baptiste Lake forms part of a desirable three-lake chain with over 57 km of navigable waterways, known for clear waters, excellent fishing, and a strong waterfront community. Two cottages. One property. A rare opportunity to secure a premium waterfront asset offering both lifestyle and long-term value.
