Set on a quiet, tucked-away bay on Lower Stoney Lake, this thoughtfully built cottage or lake home offers a calm and private place to unwind. With 5 acres and 280 feet of shoreline, the setting feels spacious and peaceful, with soft views across the water and into the surrounding forest. Built 10 years ago, the home has a bright and welcoming cottage feel and has been very well cared for. The interior walls are finished with beautifully whitewashed wood paneling, while the hardwood floors are a warm natural wood tone that adds contrast and depth. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and frame the views of the bay and the surrounding forest, giving each room a cozy connection to the outdoors. The layout includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an unfinished basement that leaves room for future plans. An attached garage adds convenience and storage for all seasons. At the back of the property, the land connects directly to Kawartha Land Trust, giving you access to protected forest and a network of beautiful hiking trails. It is a rare combination of waterfront living and preserved land, offering both privacy and a deeper connection and access to nature both on land and water. This is a place that feels easy to settle into with just the right balance of comfort and simplicity. Just a short boat ride to lakeside amenities including Juniper Island, Stony Lake Yacht Club and lakeside dining. Under 2 hours to Toronto.
