This is a 4-season Muskoka retreat with 665 feet of prime shoreline on quiet Henshaw Lake, sitting on a rare private point. Main house is a single-level bungalow with 3 beds and 2 baths, plus a seasonal bunkie for guests, making it 4 beds total. You're getting a sandy, shallow-entry beach that's perfect for kids and paddleboards, and since the lake has few motorized boats, it stays peaceful. Inside, it's been renovated with a modern feel: a Raywall kitchen with quartz counters and breakfast bar, fireplace in the sunken living room, and 8-foot sliders that open to multiple decks with sunset views. The primary bedroom has its own balcony for morning coffee. There's also a 1-car garage and a shed for water toys. The property is fully turn-key and currently set up as a short-term rental with an STR license, so it's got income potential. It's only 5 minutes to Port Carling for dining and shopping, and just 0.4 km to Oliver's Coffee. With 9 parking spots, guests won't fight for space. The lot is 650 ft deep, wooded and level. Listed at $1,599,000, which is above the nearby median of $1,472,500, but the location and shoreline are hard to beat. Taxes are $6,763 a year.
