Driftwood - Modern Muskoka Luxury on Lake Joseph

Every detail of luxurious Muskoka living has been taken into consideration with the elegant Lake Joseph waterfront property of Driftwood.

This contemporary-design, two-level architectural treasure features six bedrooms, six baths and 7,500 square feet of state of-the art technology and modern comfort, created with high-quality materials and finished with the finest handcrafted details.

Wide expanses of glass on all sides offer a serene view of gardens and woods on one side, and the lake just 33 feet from your doorstep on the other. Full southwest-facing exposure means you’ll enjoy cool morning breezes off the lake, full sun throughout a leisurely day, and unforgettable, full-on sunsets night after night.
After the sun goes down, enjoy a drink with friends on the stone patio under a breathtaking canopy of stars.

Inside or out, the view takes centre stage – whether you’re cooking dinner in the modern chef’s kitchen, enjoying a meal in the dining area with its unique live-edge table, or relaxing in the living room, with its contemporary stone fireplace and glass doors that open fully to the fresh air.

Driftwood even has its own updated take on the classic Muskoka room, with a sheltered upper deck warmed by a granite-faced, wood-burning fireplace. Whether you’re entertaining a crowd or enjoying a private getaway with family, there’s no shortage of luxurious amenities and enjoyments at your disposal: a generous-sized games room on the lower level, family room that opens right out onto the patio, and from there, just a few steps to the lake, or the wooden walkway that leads to the boathouse. There’ s also a wine cellar, bar area, seven discrete music zones throughout, and the best in modern technology when it comes to room comfort: with three heated zones (including in-floor radiant heat), Lutron lighting system and 8 ton air conditioning.

Each bedroom features its own unique view, and most have private baths; main-level guestrooms each offer private walkouts. If six bedrooms isn’t enough to house all your guests, the classic Muskoka boathouse has room for more, along with two private boatslips, and its own wraparound upper level deck. Designed purely for relaxing, Driftwood offers the perfect combination of a storied Muskoka getaway combined with the latest in modern luxury – all just a short ten-minute drive from the nightlife and shopping of Port Carling.
