** OPEN HOUSE SEPT 6, 2-4PM** Private Riley Lake Gem. Nestled on a sprawling 10.87 acres with 291' of pristine waterfront, this custom home delivers the perfect balance of rustic living, natural beauty, and lakeside fun. (The home features a red metal roof, a covered log porch with two red Adirondack chairs and a stone walkway/landscaped entrance.) With nothing but Crown land across the lake, your peaceful view and privacy is ensured. Crafted with care in 2011, this log home was built using trees harvested right on the property, creating a home that is not only stunning but deeply rooted in its natural surroundings. Take in the northwest exposure and breathtaking summer sunsets from your floating dock, where the deep, clean water is perfect for swimming, boating, and making memories. (The floating dock includes a mooring for a boat and provides panoramic lake views.) This four-season retreat is made for both relaxing and entertaining. A massive finished 32 x 40 garage is the ultimate all season gathering space. (The garage is finished with a black-and-white checkerboard floor, red cabinetry and ceiling storage/work bays suited to hobbyists and car enthusiasts.) The lakeside tiki bar delivers full-on beach vibes with a custom bar top, fridge, and stools. Enjoy quiet evenings in the lakeside sauna, then gather around the firepit under the stars. (There is a flagstone patio/seating area and umbrella near the water for relaxed outdoor dining.) The property features a frog pond teeming with multiple species, adding charm and biodiversity. (The pond shows aquatic plants and lily pads that enhance habitat diversity.) There is also a large fenced vegetable garden so you can grow your own seasonal produce just steps from the kitchen. Inside, the open-concept log home is warm and welcoming. (Interior highlights include soaring exposed timber trusses, wide-plank hardwood floors, large windows framing the lake, and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a central island with sink visible from the loft.) Two private main floor bedrooms and a stunning open loft primary. (The loft overlooks the great room with a wooden railing and expansive views.) (The main floor bath features a black vanity, framed mirror and beadboard-style wall treatment.) Whether you're hosting weekend getaways or embracing cottage life full time, this property was made to enjoy. Site plans are in place for a bunkie and an addition to the main residence, offering room to expand as your needs grow. A whole-home Generac generator ensures you're powered up year-round. While the 7km road is currently seasonal, winter access is easy by ATV/ snowmobile, and you'll appreciate the rare bonus of seasonal waste collection at the end of your driveway. This is more than a cottage - its a private Muskoka escape where every season brings something magical. Your lakeside lifestyle begins here. Cats on property, PLEASE NO DOGS! (id:1945)
