4 Hills Island Lake Of Bays, Ontario P0B 1A0
$769,000
A rare 1.5-acre estate on Peninsula Lake. Hills Island, blending history, privacy, and natural beauty. With over 540 feet of shoreline and both east and west exposures, it offers sun from dawn to dusk, showcasing stunning sunrises and sunsets. Direct access to 40 miles of boating across a scenic four-lake chain connects via the Muskoka River. Reachable in five minutes by boat from mainland parking and mooring. A three-slip boathouse along the sheltered east shoreline provides storage and launching for lake adventures. The property offers seclusion without sacrificing convenience. The charming 1904 cottage, a historic relic, once served as a stop for the steamship from Huntsville to North Portage and was part of the small resort, The Isle of Dunelg, favoured by upscale summer visitors. Remaining in the same family for 50 years, it's a treasured legacy. While full restoration is needed, this presents a rewarding project for heritage lovers. Wake to sunrises with coffee on the dock. The inviting main cottage features an eat-in kitchen, dining area, anchored by an original stone fireplace. In the evenings, relax by the granite fireplace in the spacious living room. A wraparound veranda offers sunset views, with a path through ancient white pines to the west shoreline for evening swims. Accommodating family and guests, it includes two main bedrooms and four private cabins, sleeping 15 comfortably; ideal for multi-generational gatherings. A sunny meadow, once a tennis court, provides space for play or future plans, framed by nature. Dunelg is a timeless retreat where history lives in every stone and tree, awaiting its next chapter.
