About this home

Escape to one of Ontario's best-kept secrets on beautiful Spring Lake, where nearly 70% of the shoreline is protected Crown land, creating an unmatched setting of peace, privacy, and unspoiled Canadian wilderness, and in close proximity to desirable Almaguin Highlands. Tucked among towering pines and iconic granite rock outcroppings, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront cottage offers the authentic cottage experience so many dream about. The gently sloping topography leading to a hard-packed sandy beach provides exceptional swimming with shallow entry for all ages, while the surrounding natural landscape offers the perfect place to relax in a hammock, unwind by the water's edge, and soak in breathtaking views across pristine Canadian shoreline. Designed with family gatherings in mind, the cottage features two full kitchens-one on the main level and another on the bright walkout lower level-creating an ideal layout for multi family cottaging use, perfect for extended guests, or entertaining with added privacy. The walkout rec room is anchored by a cozy propane fireplace, a new bathroom with a custom soaker tub, and bonus room space, making it the perfect retreat after a day on the lake or evenings spent around the campfire. Adding tremendous value to this property is the impressive 20' x 20' detached coach house, offering garage and workshop space below with an unfinished loft above ready to potentially become a future recreation room, studio, or guest accommodation. Situated on approximately 0.82 acres with 179 feet of south western waterfront, this property offers exceptional privacy in a truly natural setting. Whether you're searching for a quiet family retreat, a place to reconnect with nature, or a waterfront escape where the sounds of loons replace the noise of everyday life, this is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. Spring Lake is a healthy spring fed lake that isn't just a destination-it's the lifestyle you've been waiting for.
