A four-season family retreat on sought-after Paint Lake, just minutes from the charming village of Dorset. This exceptional waterfront property features a bright two-bedroom main cottage and a separate two-bedroom bunkhouse, both extensively upgraded and fully serviced with water, electricity, and HVAC for comfortable year-round living.
Set on a spacious, well-treed lot with a gentle slope to the shoreline, the property offers a newly designed rock fire-pit gathering area, a walkway to a newer dock, and a shallow sandy beach entry ideal for all ages. Recently repainted exteriors on all buildings create a cohesive and well-maintained appearance throughout.
The main cottage showcases an inviting open-concept layout with a newly renovated kitchen and appliances, a stunning wall of windows framing picturesque lake views, and warm pine finishes with exposed beams that deliver a classic Muskoka atmosphere. Thoughtful custom details include a built-in bench and shelving at the front entry and a custom platform bed in the second bedroom. Heating is provided by a propane forced-air furnace in the main cottage and electric heat in the second cottage.
Interior upgrades throughout include new bathroom vanities and fresh paint, while energy efficiency has been enhanced with new insulation in the crawl space and attic of the main cottage, along with new attic insulation in the second cottage.
Additional highlights include a new hot tub and electric sauna with all-new electrical, connected decking between buildings, an automatic generator, and a new 200-amp electrical service completed by Hydro One. The property is further complemented by a driveway workshop and a charming pine bunkie/playhouse—ideal for guests, a studio, kids’ retreat, or private escape.
Enjoy the very best of Muskoka living with nearby dining, shopping, scenic trails, and four-season recreation including fishing, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and biking—all within an easy two-hour drive from the GTA.
