Rare Muskoka Acreage Opportunity! Charming Log Home on 45 Private Acres - Just Steps from South Portage Beach & Boat Launch on Lake of Bays! Discover your perfect Muskoka retreat in this warm and inviting 2-storey log home, nestled on 45 wooded acres and only a 2-minute walk from the sandy shores and public boat launch at South Portage Beach. The spacious living room features a stunning granite stone fireplace, while the open-concept kitchen and dining area is kept cozy year-round by a classic Irish wood cook stove. A covered front porch welcomes you, and the covered deck off the living room offers peaceful seasonal views over Portage Bay. Upstairs, you'll find 3 generous bedrooms, while the lower level boasts a bright in-law suite with its own separate entrance-ideal for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. Outside, the expansive, wooded property invites exploration along scenic private trails. Older fencing and gates remain from the property's equestrian days, adding rustic charm. Outbuildings include a chicken coop, a drive-in garage, and a versatile storage building that's easily converted into a bunkie, studio, or workshop. This Muskoka gem is steeped in history-located on the storied shores of Lake of Bays, once home to the famous Portage Flyer steamship train. Just a 10-minute drive puts you in Dwight or Huntsville, with easy access to world-class amenities: Deerhurst, Golf, Hidden Valley Ski Hill, the hiking trails of Limberlost Forest Reserve, snowmobile routes, excellent restaurants, and unique boutique shops. A true one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of Muskoka's most desirable locations-this log home on acreage won't last long! (id:25787)
