Build Your Dream Cottage on Lake Muskoka - Fully Approved & Ready to Go! A once-in-a-generation opportunity, this is one of the last remaining large-scale, under-developed legacy parcels on Lake Muskoka, now ready for redevelopment. The property boasts a rare combination of features almost impossible to find together today: just under 3 acres of private land with approximately 390 feet of pristine granite shoreline, fully approved plans by a renowned Muskoka architect, all-day sun with coveted western exposure, and iconic dotted island sunset views, all less than two hours from Toronto. The approved plans include several notable and rare features that simply cannot be replicated under today's regulations. The new cottage may be built as close as approximately 11 metres from the water's edge at its nearest point, a grandfathered setback no longer permitted for new construction. The existing boathouse can be renovated or rebuilt with a full 1,000 sq. ft. of livable space above, double the current 500 sq. ft. allowance for new boathouses. The advanced architectural allow for a quicker build time. The gently sloping terrain, mature tree canopy, and expansive lake vistas along with classic granite outcroppings deliver exceptional swimming, entertaining, and waterfront enjoyment from sunrise to sunset. Ideally positioned near the evolving Taboo Muskoka Resort & Golf redevelopment, including two new world-class golf courses currently under construction and just minutes from the towns of Gravenhurst and Bracebridge, this exceptional waterfront offering captures a quintessential Muskoka setting in a premier location. A truly rare offering combining substantial frontage, privacy, ready-to-go redevelopment approvals, acreage, sunset exposure, and premier positioning on one of Canada's most coveted lakes. This is Muskoka at its finest.
