Welcome to "The River View," a custom-built Muskoka retreat that captures the best of both worlds - waterfront cottage enjoyment paired with the comfort and practicality of a year-round home. Thoughtful design and natural beauty come together in the great room, where soaring windows frame captivating views of the Severn River and a striking granite fireplace creates a warm focal point. With approximately 1,800 square feet of well-planned living space, the residence features 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, offering both functionality and privacy for family and guests, while a versatile loft creates the perfect reading nook or quiet workspace. A detached garage adds exceptional flexibility with 500 square feet of finished space ideal for a home office, art studio, fitness room, or bunkie for guests and grandchildren. Outdoors, life on the river is defined by connection to nature and usability - explore more than 20 km of calm waters by boat or paddle, enjoy sought-after western exposure and stunning sunsets around the firepit, and unwind in true Muskoka fashion. Convenient access to Highway 11 and Washago ensures easy travel, with Gravenhurst and Orillia just 15 minutes away. As the closest Muskoka address to the GTA, properties offering this level of four-season waterfront living with effortless commuting access are increasingly in demand, making "The River View" a compelling opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cottage lifestyle without giving up the comfort and convenience of a full-time home.
