Lake of Bays Real Estate
Lake of Bays real estate properties are most prominently made up of luxury cottages that are hot and in high demand because of a prized position in the popular vacation destination of Muskoka. With the Greater Toronto Area only a few hours drive to the south, it’s no wonder why these properties are so sought-after.
The unique landscape of forests, wetlands and countless miles of lakeshore make Lake of Bays desirable for second homeowners or vacation homes outside the GTA. While most homes are on the lake shore and along the different bays, you’ll find some incredible properties on the islands on the lake, boasting impressive lakefront views.
Lake of Bay real estate for sale prides itself on its classic Muskokan vernacular architecture, which only further distinguishes the properties as truly one of a kind. Showcasing beautifully landscaped exteriors with spacious sundeck patios, many of the luxury properties also feature their own privately enclosed boathouses.
Large living room areas and open concept entryways make for the perfect escape into a relaxing retreat, ideal for large or small families. Starting at around 1,100 square feet, available properties go all the way up to 3,500.
With most of the properties surrounded by gorgeous maple and white and red pine trees, you’re sure to have the privacy you’re looking for in these fully established, family-friendly homes.
As if all of that wasn’t enough, there are multiple open lots listed for homebuyers to create the waterfront cottage of their dreams, with the surrounding area engulfed in scenic views to last a lifetime.
