Own a piece of Cottage Country history with modern comfort. This extraordinary 2,600 sq ft two-story home offers nearly 200 ft of pristine Lake of Bays shoreline with sandy shallow entry and deep water off the dock. Seamlessly blending century-old character with a 1990s addition, the home features numerous bedrooms and baths, currently operating as a successful bed & breakfast. The interior showcases exceptional taste and pride of ownership - impeccably maintained, tastefully decorated, and loaded with "wow factor" from the moment you walk in. Outdoors is an entertainer's dream: extensive decking, hot tub, BBQ station & gazebo, full docking system, outdoor firepit and multiple sun decks positioned for spectacular sunsets over Dorset village. Water is treated, septic system (2024), combination forced-air propane & heat & A/C pump, designer's kitchen w/granite countertop and built-in appliances, gym, stone fireplace and much more. See impressive Chattels List. Vast amounts of crown land nearby offer a network of trails to explore activities throughout 4 seasons of the year - i.e. hiking, wildlife seeking, photography, snowshoeing, skiing, ice-fishing, snowmobiling, ATVing and so much more. One can boat to 2 other towns from this location in Dorset. Situated in the heart of beloved Cottage Country, a favorite escape from Southern Ontario. A rare chance to own a turnkey business and an outstanding legacy waterfront home. The photos say it all! Take a look!
