About this home

Stunning Turnkey 3-Season Cottage on Peaceful Skin Lake! Arrive at this charming bungalow and immediately feel the tranquility of cottage country. Step into its roomy screened-in porch - a wonderful mudroom with seating areas for relaxing while overlooking the lake. Inside, the spacious open-concept living, dining and kitchen area features a warm pine interior and a wall of windows that reveal a truly majestic view of tall trees and gleaming lakefront. From the kitchen, walk through glass sliding doors onto a large deck - perfect for BBQs, entertaining family and friends or enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water. Filled with natural light, the cottage offers 3 bedrooms (each with a closet), a charming bunkie for additional guests, and a 3-piece bathroom. The maturely treed lot offers a wonderful sense of privacy, with a waterfront that boasts both a sandy, gentle entry and deeper water off the dock. Skin Lake is small, quiet and coveted for its beautiful natural setting (approx. half of the shoreline is Crown land), with excellent fishing (lake trout and smallmouth bass). High-speed internet is available, making it ideal for those who want more time at the lake, even while working remotely. Or cozy up by the wood stove (newly installed late 2019) with a book and cup of tea on a cool summer's evening or crisp fall day. Just 12 minutes from the lovely village of Dorset - featuring the famous Robinson's General Store and Pizza On Earth, local artisans, LCBO, Dorset Lookout Tower and much more. From Dorset, Huntsville, Bracebridge and the West Gate of Algonquin Park are each approx. 35 minutes away. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of Crown land along Livingston Road and throughout the area, with access to hiking, ATV and snowmobile trails, and stunning views at every turn. 2 storage sheds for your cottage toys and tools. Kayaks, canoes, paddleboard and many other inclusions in the sale - even the sounds of the loons!
