This is a rare find on Buckhorn Lake. With 100 feet of private frontage on the Trent Severn Waterway, you get deep water docking and striking sunset views. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main cottage is in good shape, with a stone fireplace and large windows that frame the water. The primary suite on the main level has a walkout to the water-facing deck. A separate guest bunkie comes with 2 extra beds, great for overflow. Just 10 minutes away, Lakefield's village offers groceries and a bite at the Riverhouse Company Restaurant. The 1.14-acre lot is landscaped with mature cedars, giving you privacy. Water quality is excellent, with a drilled well and septic. Sold fully furnished, including the canoe. A hot water on-demand system and forced air propane heat make it a cozy year-round retreat. This is a well-maintained recreational property on one of the Kawarthas' most popular chain lakes. For under $1.2 million, you'd be hard-pressed to find another place with this frontage and condition nearby. It's an ideal family cottage or rental income opportunity.
