Windy Lake Twin Cottage Retreat

Located on the pristine shores of Windy Lake in the northwest corner of Greater Sudbury, this unique, twin-cottage retreat offers an incredible opportunity to enjoy year-round access to one of Northern Ontario's most beloved lakes. Surrounded by towering rock faces, deep spring-fed water, and breathtaking natural beauty, Windy Lake is known for its crystal-clear depths, a 9-hole lakeside golf course, a sprawling provincial park with sandy beaches and hiking trails, and excellent skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months. This property sits on a private peninsula with water frontage on both its north and south sides. The main cottage faces south, tucked into a calm and sheltered bay, offering both seclusion and sun throughout the day. The land is heavily treed with red pines, mature white pines, and clusters of maples, giving the property a classic Northern feel. There are two full-sized cottages on the lot, perfect for hosting multiple families or guests without sacrificing privacy. Each has its own kitchen and living space, so early risers can make coffee without waking the rest of the household. The main cottage includes bunkbeds on the main floor, a loft bedroom with a queen bed, and a 10' x 9' cedar-lined woodburning sauna complete with a shower. Custom woodwork can be found throughout both cottages, the result of over a decade of care and craftsmanship by the current owners, who built the retreat themselves over weekends for 16 years. Power is supplied by Hydro One via an underwater line, and both cottages are plumbed with PEX. Water is drawn from the lake through a submersible pump mounted under the dock, and toilet facilities use a composting system?there is no septic system on site. The electrical system features a 220V service with a 60-amp panel in the main cottage. A large storage shed proudly displays a Canadian flag on custom-built doors and offers ample space for tools, outdoor gear, and firewood. One of the most impressive features of this property is the massive covered outdoor stone fireplace. Perched just above the water and over 20 feet tall, it allows for cozy fireside relaxation even in the rain?an incredibly rare and thoughtful touch. The property includes 1/24th ownership in the private marina located at the end of Marina Road off Highway 144. From the marina, the property is just a one-minute boat ride across the bay. The marina is co-managed by the 24 owners, each of whom has a voice in its operation. The asking price for this incredible retreat is $489,000, and immediate possession is available. Showings will be arranged only for serious buyers who can verify financing or demonstrate the ability to purchase. The owners, who have recently purchased another property on Windy Lake to live full-time, are hoping to pass this unique retreat on to someone who will appreciate its quiet charm and thoughtful design. Additionally, two boats are available for purchase separately: a 2016 17.5' Bayliner ski boat with Monster wake tower and 3.0L MerCruiser inboard engine, and a 2009 14.5' Legend fishing boat with a 25hp four-stroke tiller motor. Both come with trailers and have been fully serviced this year, including tune-ups and fresh oil changes.
