1166 2 Morinus Road, Muskoka Lakes

Set on the coveted shores of Lake Rosseau, this exceptional 1.6-acre family retreat offers everything you envision in a Muskoka cottage southwest exposure, a level lot, and long, protected lake views that feel like your own private paradise (including panoramic, sheltered views over open water and nearby islands, visible from the cottage's full wall of windows and decks). With year-round access and a location just minutes from Port Sandfield and the JW Marriotts spa and dining, this property effortlessly combines seclusion with convenience (a paved driveway leads to a detached two-car garage with adjacent carport, providing ample visitor parking). Enjoy pristine waterfront complete with a sand beach and spacious dock ideal for sun-soaked afternoons, water sports, and gathering by the lake (the dock extends well into the bay with a wide platform and ladder for swimming and mooring, and the shoreline is framed by mature pines and a gently sloping lawn). Mature gardens and a generous wrap-around porch frame the cottage, creating idyllic outdoor living spaces perfect for family connection and relaxed entertaining (the porch and adjacent deck offer multiple seating areas with direct access from the sunroom and living area through large sliding glass doors). Inside, the 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings and a full wall of windows that draw Lake Rosseau's beauty right into the heart of the home (the vaulted living area includes a ceiling fan, recessed lighting and lofted vantage points, while the sunroom provides panoramic lake views). An open-concept layout enhances the sense of space, anchored by a stunning chefs kitchen with quartz island and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry (the island seats four beneath a trio of pendant lights and the kitchen flows directly to the dining area and living room for effortless entertaining). A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm to the dining area, while the sunroom offers a peaceful spot to unwind (large windows and glass doors in both spaces maximize light and lake views). Thoughtfully designed for comfort and function, the layout includes a main-floor guest suite with 3-piece bath, a versatile office or overflow bedroom, and an upper-level primary suite with a lofted office nook overlooking the living space (the loft nook provides a private outlook to the living room and the windows beyond). Engineered hardwood throughout, beautifully tiled bathrooms, and ductless AC units provide modern ease, while a paved driveway, two-car garage, and carport ensure ample parking for guests (the detached garage sits tucked among mature trees, matching the cottage’s exterior and offering privacy). This Lake Rosseau gem is the ultimate Muskoka escapeprivate, picturesque, and perfectly suited for generations of family memories. (id:1945)
