About the property

A not-to-be-missed, updated island compound! Situated on a five-plus acre lot on Browning Island, Lake Muskoka (boat access only), this is a cottage lot that’s hard to come by—privacy, useable table land, and epic panoramic views with a southwest orientation, meaning all-day sun and amazing Muskoka sunsets. With 463 ft of shoreline, two cottages, and a newer, one-slip dock with parking for three boats, the sky’s the limit on where you take it from here. Want a large boathouse with second-story accommodation? You can build one. The five-bed, two-bath main cottage has a 2,100 sq. ft. footprint while the two-bed, one-bath guest cottage with a kitchen is just shy of 600 sq. ft. Both have been recently upgraded. It has plenty of room for family and friends to spread out as is (sleeps 16), there’s also plenty of lot coverage left to expand further, should you desire. Tucked away from the prevailing west winds and busy boat traffic, you can create a beach in the shallower cove at one end of the property or take in long lake views and rocky outcrops at the other. With both deep and shallow water, there’s something for everyone. This cottage is move-in ready, right down to the pedal boat, 14-foot tin boat with a 5 hp motor, and a 1988 21.5-foot Doral bowrider with 205 hp to get you there. This island gem is ready for your arrival.
