This 2013-built bungalow on Canning Lake is all about the water. The lot runs 98 by 376 feet, so you get a long, private stretch of shoreline with western exposure that turns the lake into a daily sunset show. Right at the water's edge sits a bunkie, plus a dock, a firepit, and a screened-in room for bug-free evenings. The main floor has an open living area with vaulted ceilings and a propane fireplace, plus two bedrooms and a 3-piece bath. The lower level adds a rec room, a third bedroom, and a 2-piece bath. Systems are solid: 200-amp electrical, a generator, and UV water treatment. You're about 10 minutes from Minden and 15 from Haliburton, so groceries, restaurants, and the Haliburton Highlands everything is close. Asking $850,000, which is right in line with the three other active listings nearby. This one's been cared for, and the waterfront features are the real draw.
