Private Island | Lake Muskoka | 4 bedroom | 3 bathroom | Bunkie with 3 piece |

Listed at $1,999,000

A rare opportunity to own your own private island on iconic Lake Muskoka.

Set on more than an acre in a quiet, protected bay, this exceptional island retreat offers the privacy, natural beauty, and endless possibilities that define Muskoka living. Bask in all-day sun with breathtaking sunrises at one end of the island and spectacular sunsets at the other, all surrounded by crystal-clear water and classic Muskoka scenery.

The shoreline offers the best of both worlds, with deep water on one side for exceptional docking and boating, and shallow sandy coves on the other, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, and enjoying long summer days with family and friends. The island’s remarkably flat landscape is a true rarity on Lake Muskoka, creating expansive outdoor living space and exceptional versatility. The cottage features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, while a separate bunkie with its own washroom provides comfortable accommodations for family and guests.

Whether enjoyed as it stands or thoughtfully transformed, the property offers outstanding potential. Its generous size and level terrain provide ample opportunity to expand the existing cottage and create a custom waterfront retreat. The east shoreline is ideally positioned for a future two-storey boathouse, subject to the necessary approvals, offering the opportunity to create a truly exceptional Lake Muskoka family compound to be enjoyed for generations. Convenient access from the mainland marina means you’re only a short boat ride from the island, combining everyday convenience with the peace, privacy, and exclusivity that only private island ownership can offer.

Properties like this are increasingly rare—a private, highly usable Lake Muskoka island with endless potential to create a legacy retreat in one of Canada’s most celebrated cottage destinations.
