Nestled on the shores of Weslemkoon Lake, this charming cottage and its accompanying bunky exude stylish Scandinavian design characterized by white painted walls, exposed wooden beams and polished hardwood floors. Accessed solely by water, the journey to this hidden gem begins with a short boat ride across the lake, leaving the hustle and bustle of the outside world behind.
The main cottage boasts a weathered cedar shake exterior that blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. A spacious deck with a large screened-in sunroom stretches out from the cottage, providing an ideal spot to gather with friends and family. A full 1.6 acres of privacy with 188 feet of untouched shoreline await your arrival.
Inside you’ll find a warm and inviting atmosphere. The real star of this open concept area is a stunning floor to ceiling mid-century modern feature wall, accented with a cast iron wood burning Jotul stove. Jotul stoves are known for their beautiful designs and this one does not disappoint. The ceiling features wooden beams and is finished with red cedar strip paneling. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake from the built in seating nook beside the large windows. This room serves as the heart of the home and is open to the kitchen and eating area.
The modern kitchen is equipped with a propane cooktop and oven, stainless steel appliances, and a second walkout offers easy access to the deck for barbecuing and dining al fresco.
Just off the main room is a spacious bedroom with sloped cathedral ceilings finished in the same cedar strips as the main room, with a sliding glass door walk out. The second bedroom offers amazing views of the lake as well as nightime views of the stars above through the skylight in the vaulted ceiling. A full bathroom and laundry complete the layout of the main structure.
Tucked away beside the cottage, close enough but far enough away, the bunky is clad in the same cedar shake shingles as the main cottage. While smaller in structure than the main cottage, it also features its own private screened-in sunroom to relax in. The combined bedroom/living area features windows on all sides and spectacular views of the lake. Exposed beams once again make an appearance, in keeping with the aesthetic of the main cottage. A second story loft area with twin beds provides comfortable accommodations for up to four more people.
While there is an abundance of solitude to be found here, the local marina offers all the services that you could need, including parking, dedicated boat slip rentals, water taxi, typical marine services, garbage and recycling drop off, and of course a healthy selection of Kawartha Dairy ice cream and snacks.
Additional things that you might not notice immediately but are equally important are the metal roof, the hard wired generator ensuring that you always have power, high speed internet system, and a permanent dock allowing for quick openings and closings.
This cottage must be seen to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and thoughtful design. It truly is an oasis unto it's own, and will provide your family and friends with special memories for years to come.
