Welcome to this gorgeous, custom built and designed, 3,600 sq. ft., 4 bedroom cottage and bunkie nestled on an acre of well-treed land. Perched above the tranquil shores of Lake Vernon, serenity and entertainment are perfectly combined, all year round, at this fantastic property!
From the moment you step into the elegant entrance, you will instantly feel the chaos of city life slip away as you take in peaceful panoramic tree-top views of the lake from a wall of floor to ceiling windows. The entire cottage has a chic yet cozy décor, with high-end furnishing and unique finishing touches in each and every room.
The open concept kitchen/dining/great room is light-filled with the Great Room featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, wood beams, a grand chandelier and a stunning stone fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen is every chef's dream with modern stainless steel Kenmore Pro appliances, plenty of counter space for prepping meals and an oversized kitchen island that seats three. The extra-large harvest dining table comfortably seats 8-10 with a direct walkout to the deck boarded by a glass railing, and equipped with a BBQ and comfortable patio furniture. It is a great place to relax with a morning coffee or that post dinner drink.
Off to one side of the Great Room is a cozy main level bedroom with more peacefull lake views (current photos show this room as an office, new king-size bed bedroom photos to come in the spring) and to the other side of the Great Room is a beautiful screened-in Muskoka Room with comfortable outdoor furniture, perfect for lounging on a warm summer evening or a crisp fall afternoon.
A few steps up from the Great Room is a split-level that has 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms and 2 spacious bathrooms and a few steps down from the Great Room are 2 split-levels catering to fun and relaxation. The first lower level has a games lounge/rec room that feels like an upscale private bar, adorned with custom art, one of a kind arcade game, dart board, foosball table and a billiard table. Enjoy a game of pool while sipping on your favorite cocktail. A few steps down from this entertainment room is a walkout lower level with an additional comfortable sitting area with TV, beautiful lake views and a ping pong table. What better place to end your evenings, sipping on your favourite after dinner drink, playing pool or ping pong or just relaxing on the couches watching movies!
From the lower level family room, there is a direct walk-out to the jewel of this property, the custom designed and built expansive stone terrace with spectacular views out to the lake. To one side there are lounge chairs, a hammock for basking in the sun and a large hot tub overlooking the lake that makes you feel like you are at an outdoor spa. In the middle, is a built-in fire pit surrounded by Muskoka chairs perfect for enjoying an evening bonfire and smores under the stars.
The cottage is positioned atop a gentle slope peacefully overlooking the surrounding bay. The landscaping features are mastered by craftsmen using the finest locally sourced stone, providing that much sought-after classic Muskoka atmosphere. There is a grand stone staircase leading you from the parking area to the main door of the cottage with a continued grand stone walkway winding its way through the lower part of the property connecting the terrace to the bunkie and then down to the dock.
The cozy fully heated cedar bunkie with two sets of bunk beds and its own screened-in porch, makes you feel like you're in a glamorous tree house in the middle of the forest!
The large dock provides great boat docking and refreshing swimming off the end. A large cedar rack holds a canoe, 2 kayaks and a SUP board for exploring the lake. The high-end outdoor couch and arm chairs provide a picture-perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine or view the stunning sunsets.
The property has access to miles of boating on the 4 Lake chain and is a gorgeous fifteen-minute boat ride to downtown Huntsville which provides easy access to all the best shopping and dining the town has to offer!
