If the right location and a great lot are foremost in your choice for a cottage site then you'll find this property quite special. It's located on Kawagama Lake, a very large lake with low cottage density and excellent water quality, situated only ten minutes from Dorset. It shares a tranquil bay with just a handful of neighbours. The lot is almost totally level with 255+ feet of sandy shoreline and western exposure. There is sun on the property from approximately 10 am - 7:30 pm. The cottage sits a short distance from the water's edge and has excellent privacy. The cottage has 1423 sq.ft. of finished living space, enhanced throughout by wonderful craftsmanship and materials. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor plus a full bath. A well laid out compact kitchen shares space with a dining/sitting area and features a Wolf gas stove and Miele refrigerator. It opens onto a deck overlooking the lake and dock area. A 3rd bedroom on the walkout level is currently configured as the primary bedroom but one of the main floor bedrooms could be utilized instead if that's your preference. It features a custom walk-in closet with exceptional detail and finish. A sumptuous second bath is located adjacent. An attractive family/living room is located on the lower level as well with great lake views + easy access to the lake. Mechanical and utility systems have all been upgraded including backup generator hot water heat and air conditioning. The interior design combines both classic cottage details with modern touches. The property surrounding the cottage has been beautifully landscaped with stone walkways, natural plantings and the perfect stone fire pit complete with built in seating. The waterfront offers an entire living space of its own. Spacious docks for sunning and plenty of space for watercraft. The dryland boathouse has been reconfigured as a sheltered lakeside entertaining/living space complete with outdoor kitchen and dining area plus a lounging/sleeping area.
