About this home
A Serene Retreat on the Trent-Severn Waterway! Escape to nature with this charming 2-bedroom cottage tucked among mature trees on the Trent-Severn Waterway. Located in the heart of Kawartha cottage country, this peaceful getaway offers scenic river views and a relaxed, cottage-country lifestyle that is perfect for weekend retreats (including cozy winter visits)! The open-concept layout features a spacious kitchen with water views, a warm and inviting living room with a wood stove, and a 3-piece bathroom. The property includes a steel roof, vinyl siding, and tasteful interior finishes including vinyl flooring and wood ceilings. A new 9,000L septic holding tank was installed in 2021, with a stream-fed water supply. Step outside to enjoy your coffee on the front porch, barbecue beneath the trees, or gather around a campfire under the stars. The lot includes a fresh gravel driveway, two storage sheds (one with potential as a bunkie), and a large cement holding tank installed in 2021. Water is drawn from the river, and a shared spring offers added convenience. Enjoy year-round accessibility with municipally maintained roads in all four seasons. Located minutes from the historic Kirkfield Lift Lock, and just a short drive to Orillia or the GTA, this property is your ideal seasonal escape. Please note: This property is on leased land from Parks Canada ($2,813/year). Four-season living and short-term rentals are not permitted.
