Description
Get ready to enjoy long lake views, deep clear swimming, ~60km of boating, a rare and fully serviced bunkie at the water's edge, all on a 1 acre lot with natural Canadian Shield privacy. For the first time offered for sale beyond family since Minden was first pioneered in the 1800s, this 3 season cottage is set within a granite outcropping to maximize a level cottage site, parking ease, and family time for backyard games, dining & entertaining. A gentle slope takes you to Canning Lake with some of the longest uninterrupted views available, 1.5km+. Savour your morning coffee at either lake-side seating area, cool off with a swim in the water by walking across the clean rolling granite entry, or dive deep from the dock into 25-50ft depths. Dry off in the sun, or retreat into the bunkie at the water's edge with modern plumbing, electrics, cold drinks and 176 sq ft to stretch out. Should the solace result in a long nap near dinner time, a classic bell was even added to the cottage in the 70s to draw you back for meals. 11ft ceilings and tall windows in the Great room give that in-nature feel while indoors, and a modern woodstove in the living room keeps the cottage warm in the shoulder seasons. If desired, the cottage could winterized relatively easily. Crawlspace access is readily available to add insulation and a propane furnace with ducting, attic access is in the first bedroom, and wood paneling could be opened to insulate walls without drywall mess. Connected to Kashagawigamog, Soyers, Grass, & Head Lakes, Haliburton's unbeatable Five Lake chain offers ~60km of boating, 2 marinas, public docking in 'downtown' Haliburton, restaurants & lodges. Only 12 minutes away from Minden and Highway 35, makes for easy shopping and a convenient commute to your peaceful retreat. Ready to enjoy as a turnkey offering. Offers welcomed anytime.
