Dream Cottage at 1335 Narrows Road N on Lake Muskoka
As a family, after church on Sundays, we would often make the long, slow, wooden boat ride down from Tobin Island, Lake Rosseau to the town of Gravenhurst to enjoy Sunday brunch at the famous Sloan’s Restaurant in Gravenhurst. Along the way we would gaze back at the amazing estates that line the shoreline on the two southern lakes of the Big Three. As we approached the Narrows before entering Muskoka Bay this cottage was a new build but the land had always caught my eye. Sadly, Sloan’s is no longer around; but this beautiful cottage property is! Still gracing this rugged shoreline along the always awe-inspiring portions of southern Lake Muskoka, this now established cottage landmark stands out as an example of how to properly build on the water. From the water the cottage doesn’t dominate but rather blends in perfectly to the surrounding landscape, and the large boathouse is mostly hidden from view on the other side of the point. A floating swim dock sits a few swim strokes out from the shoreline completing the quintessential Muskoka summertime scene.
From the cottage imagine waking up to panoramic views of southern Lake Muskoka from every principal room and most of the primary bedrooms. Island dotted views stretch endlessly under golden sunrises and fiery sunsets. This is 1335 Narrows Road N in Gravenhurst, a rare luxury property offering privacy, breathtaking vistas and reps one of the best values on the whole of the Big Three, in my opinion.
Why does it rep such great value?
Because it’s 475 feet of prime lakefront privacy on legendary Lake Muskoka with all day sun and stunning views gives this landfall the most important land attributes you can hope to have allowing one to invest safely in modernizing and maintaining this special place on the Big Three. Seventeen elegant rooms including 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms perfect for multigenerational gatherings. Open concept dining and entertaining areas. Child friendly swim cove nestled along the otherwise rugged shoreline. Large two slip boathouse in a protected harbour -ideal for the wooden boat enthusiast. Total seclusion. Solid construction with only shingles and cosmetic refreshes needed. Unbeatable Muskoka location with the close proximity to Toronto for a shorter commute that comes with this part of cottage country. Direct boating access to Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph. A well-loved generational family estate available for the first time in decades, and a rare opportunity on the Big Three. This property is priced well below similar substantial estates found on the upper lakes. An exceedingly smart investment, in my opinion, to acquire as a family heirloom, a luxury retreat, or a high-end rental property.
