Exquisitely maintained four-season cottage. Only 1½ hours from Toronto on prestigious, scenic Balsam Lake with 100 ft weed-free, sandy-bottomed swimming. Excellent swimming, fishing and boating on the premiere lake in the Kawarthas, popularly known as the "New Muskoka's of Ontario".

THE PROPERTY

Conveniently situated on Balsam Lake's West Bay, approximately 1 km South of the Trent Severn Waterway, which means it is directly accessible to the famous, scenic Trent-Severn Waterway with its many locks, beauty and points of interest. Also, it is 12km and 24 km from the towns of Fenelon Falls and Lindsay respectively. The Balsam Lake Provincial Park with its One Day Passes (for a carload of passengers) and various other facilities is just 14km (13 minutes) away.

The property is on the calm side of Balsam Lake's West Bay, with 100 ft of waterfront and a spacious dock measuring 36 ft X 5 ft. It has amazing sandy-bottomed swimming (absolutely no weeds) gradually increasing in depth to approximately 5 ft deep at the end of the dock, ideal for both kids and adults. Excellent for avid boaters, fishing, water sports and winter activities.

Large level treed lot (100ft x 228ft) makes it great for outside activities, evenings by the fire pit, games etc., lots of outdoor furniture, 2 BBQs and parking for approximately 8 vehicles.

Approximately 2 km North of our cottage is the very popular “Sand Bar” where many cottagers on Balsam Lake congregate with their boats and have a great time. The water there is shallow (perfect for kids), sandy-bottomed and usually warmer than other areas on Balsam Lake

Nearby offsite activities include camping, golfing, casino, snowmobile trails, marinas (who supply power boat, jet ski, boat and other marine toy rentals), boat cruises, restaurants, go-karting, horseback riding, mini golf, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and craft markets.
