Own a rare slice of island life on Lake Muskoka, where this property offers over 700 feet of shoreline wrapping a protected, west-facing bay - deep water off the dock for swimming and diving, plus a shallow, sand-bottomed cove perfect for children and lazy afternoons on this exceptional stretch of Eilean Gowan Island. The newer cottage delivers easy, modern comfort with a great room featuring soaring sightlines to the water, oversized windows that pull the lake in from every angle, and a chef's kitchen with a full pantry built for entertaining or extended summer stays. Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms give the main cottage real breathing room, while a separate bunkie with its own washroom means guests never have to double up, making this ideal for multi-generational summers or a steady rotation of weekend visitors. A two-storey 3 slip boathouse adds both function and flexibility, with accommodation above for overflow guests, a private studio, or simply a quiet spot to take in the sunset over the bay, plus abundant storage for boats and water toys, all sheltered within a cove that stays calm even when the main lake picks up. Whether you're after a true family compound, a legacy property to pass down for generations, or a quiet retreat away from the mainland pace, this offering combines frontage, lots of remaining lot coverage, west exposure, and setting that rarely comes to market, making it a standout opportunity for anyone seeking genuine privacy and natural beauty on one of Muskoka's most sought-after lakes. Covered boat slip and car parking at marina outside Bracebridge less than five minutes away. A turn-key package ready for summer 2027.
