Discover your private lakeside retreat at our 4-bedroom bungalow, nestled on a beautifully landscaped, flat lot with exceptional privacy. Sunshine floods the lakeside from morning to sunset, while surrounding trees provide just enough natural shade for comfort throughout the day. Swim off the front dock in clean, natural lake water, paddle in a canoe, kayak, or paddle boat, and spot abundant wildlife—including the loon that frequents the nearby wetlands. Enjoy breathtaking lake and highland views, and end each day with gorgeous sunsets. With only one neighboring cottage tucked away and screened by forest, and another across the wetlands, the rest of the property borders pristine Crown land. Accessible only by boat, this secluded cottage is the perfect escape for relaxation or adventure.
