Franklin Lake of Bays P1H 2J3

Some cottages offer privacy. Some offer views. This one delivers both - effortlessly.Set on 1.12 acres along one of Lake of Bays' most coveted stretches off South Portage Road, this beautifully positioned raised bungalow captures sweeping panoramic lake views from an elevated vantage point, while just 30 gentle steps bring you to the water's edge. It's the best of both worlds - the serenity of height, the joy of easy lake access.With 305 feet of pristine frontage and adjacent to private land held under a forest conservancy land trust, the privacy here is genuine, protected and permanent - an enclave of just a handful of cottages with no future development on the horizon, now or for generations to come.The main level offers an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room that flows naturally to a lakeside deck perfectly oriented for all-day sun. Three bedrooms and a 4-piece bath complete the main floor. Downstairs, the walkout lower level is made for family living - a generous games and family room with a wood stove, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a laundry/utility room. Room for everyone, and then some.At the water, a substantial single-slip covered boatport with enclosed storage keeps your toys tucked away. Boaters will appreciate the deep water off the boatport - pull in with confidence all season long.The topography is a true gift: sun-drenched decks, open lawns and a dock that catches the light from morning through evening.Rare frontage. Permanent privacy. A wonderful family cottage in a quiet, desirable pocket of Lake of Bays. Have a look - this might be the one you've been waiting for.
