THE PROPERTY

This casually landscaped and stylish property emits a rustic and relaxing cottage holiday feeling. It sits on a fenced and gated, large elevated private wooded lot with a short driveway leading you directly to the front door. Your walk to the water features a granite stepped winding path down the hill past a firepit patio with 6 bright red Muskoka chairs and romantic overhead bistro lighting. You will also pass by your own hammock village amongst the trees where two green and sea blue striped hammocks are waiting for you to arrive with your book in hand and a favorite beverage or even empty handed for a sunny afternoon nap,. Then you will take in the beautiful pink and grey granite rock outcrops to your right as you approach your huge private 120' waterfront area where you will find 6 sea blue oversized Muskoka chairs overlooking the lake on a huge sprawling deck under the trees. Also awaiting you is a dock boasting TWO Stand up Paddle Boards and TWO Kayaks mounted on either side. A canoe is also nestled away on a deck by the water for your enjoyment.

The cottage's TWO spacious wraparound decks overlooking the lake feature two white hanging macrame chairs for lounging, an outdoor dining table for 6, propane BBQ and relaxing lounger sofa to sit on and enjoy noon-day snacks while the endless panoramic and commanding view from the upper deck will have you pulling out your phone to capture this picture perfect scene.
For swimming you can choose to test your toes on the granite ledge shoreline (sometimes allows for a small shallow area to sit or wade depending on water levels) or to cannonball into the deep fresh water off the end of the dock. Little Kennisis Lake is deep and clear, it offers pristine swimming conditions.
