About this property
Refined Muskoka tradition in a private Lake of Bays forest setting. Set on approximately 2 acres of beautifully wooded land, this nearly 100-year-old 4-season log cabin offers a rare blend of heritage charm, thoughtful upgrades, and exceptional privacy. Originally built in 1937, the cabin retains its authentic character with timeless log construction and an original stone fireplace, while extensive recent improvements have made it far more comfortable for modern living.The kitchen, bathroom, and primary bedroom were fully gutted and renovated in 2023, with additional upgrades including 200-amp electrical service, new plumbing, new windows, and new appliances. A drilled well and Starlink high-speed internet add year-round convenience, whether you are escaping for the weekend or working remotely from the woods.Surrounded by mature forest, this peaceful property offers the kind of quiet and seclusion that is increasingly hard to find, while still being within walking distance to public swimming access on beautiful Lake of Bays. Ideally located between Baysville and Dorset, it is close to Bigwin Island Golf Club, the Lake of Bays Tennis Club, Sailing Club, cycling routes, hiking, paddling, skiing, and local amenities.Carefully maintained with annual pest control, chimney inspections, and ongoing log replacement, this is a special opportunity to own an authentic Muskoka retreat that combines history, nature, and modern comfort in one unforgettable setting.
