22-26 TAYLOR ISLAND (X13120226)

A 5-min boat ride from the mainland, this island cottage captures the kind of lake experience buyers hope to find in Muskoka.Set on a rare double lot, this Lake Muskoka package offers 204' of pristine shoreline & over 1.5 acres of privacy, creating a setting that feels quiet, protected, & worlds away from the pace of everyday life. (Ask about the approved site plan for a future 500 sq. ft. bunkie w/ an additional 450+ sq. ft. deck.) At the shoreline, a shallow ripple sand entry creates the perfect spot for kids to swim, launch paddleboards, or spend long afternoons in the water sheltered from the wind. Towering pines, granite outcroppings, & layered lake views complete the classic Muskoka backdrop. Crafted from full scribe Eastern White Pine logs up to 34 inches wide, this 4-bed, 2-bath Scandinavian log cottage has the kind of presence you can't replicate. Warm. Solid. Timeless. A wraparound deck pulls life outside, while inside, the cozy living room and woodstove create the perfect setting for cool Muskoka evenings. The main floor offers a bedroom, full bath, and stackable laundry, while upstairs features 3 spacious bedrooms & a 2nd full bath, including a primary suite w/ peaceful lake views. The true showpiece is the spectacular boathouse w/ sundeck. Cedar-lined w/ 2 wet slips, a 3rd covered slip, & a dedicated entertaining area w/ sunset views, it was designed for unforgettable summers on the lake. Above the boathouse, the sundeck feels like its own private retreat - open sky, all-day sun, & elevated lake views that make an ordinary afternoon feel like summer at its best. With access to Muskoka's iconic Big 3 lakes, boating, dining, & adventure are virtually endless. From the screened gazebo & hammock beneath the trees to evenings around the lakeside firepit, every part of the property invites you to slow down & stay awhile. Turnkey w/ an extensive inclusion list, so summer can start the moment you arrive. Your island chapter begins here. (id:46231)
