1099 Bracken Trail, Minden Hills

Welcome to Little Gull Lake, a rare and peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. This spring-fed lake is home to just 28 lots, with 3 being Crown Land, and is embraced by the Queen Elizabeth II Wildland Provincial Park. Known for excellent fishing, swimming, and motorized watersports, Little Gull is a hidden gem for those seeking privacy and natural beauty. Set on an acre lot with 166 feet of shoreline, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers a perfect balance of comfort and seclusion. Since 2022, the current owners have thoughtfully updated the property with fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, stylish light fixtures, modern doors, and an upgraded balcony with sleek glass railing—all enhancing both style and function. The exterior presents a classic cottage look with dark blue siding and white trim, a steep gabled roof and dormer, and a wide lakeside deck with painted stairs framed by mature pine and cedar trees. Inside, the main floor features a cozy living area with a woodstove and a walkout to a spacious, partial wraparound deck where you'll spend countless hours enjoying serene lake views. A bright enclosed sunroom/porch with floor-to-ceiling windows and warm wood plank ceiling provides extra seating and panoramic views of the water, and a natural stone feature wall behind the stove adds rustic charm. A main floor bedroom with Murphy bed adds flexibility. Upstairs you'll find two generous bedrooms. The lakeside bedroom has access to the balcony overlooking the water—a picture-perfect morning coffee spot. The shoreline offers a mix of natural and deep water off the dock for diving in on hot summer days; the dock area includes a swim ladder and room to moor a boat or PWC, with a small sandy/rocky firepit area and Adirondack seating on the shore for evenings lakeside. The gently sloping driveway leads to a level lot, making access easy and convenient for family and guests alike, with mature trees providing privacy and dappled shade. Located just 15 minutes north of Minden or 15 minutes south to Norland, this property combines the tranquility of cottage living with the convenience of nearby amenities. 1099 Bracken Trail is more than a cottage—it's a private escape where peace, privacy, and natural beauty come together.
