NEW BUILD WITH OLD CHARM

Listing agent Paul Crammond, who owns this “new Olde Muskoka” cottage, says it will appeal to a young executive family with small kids because of the sandy beach and flat terrain, or to emptynesters for the same reasons. It will also appeal to “buyers that a want new build plus all of the luxuries but don’t want or need a 6,000-squarefoot, $6-million cottage. At 2,600 square feet, my place isn’t a big cottage by today’s standards.”

He says the best feature of Rest Harbor Point is its proximity to the lake. “The front deck is 10 feet from the shore. Every room has a lake view, even the laundry room. It makes me feel totally connected to the lake.”

The cottage includes a Muskoka room, a family room, a living/dining/kitchen and a master bedroom with a balcony and a lake view. There is also a separate office. The family room could be converted into a fourth bedroom.

The 570-foot point of land also has a boathouse with a 340-square-foot living space above. Deep water and easy road access are other features. Crammond says he loves the location.

“My old family cottage was nearby so I’ve been on the same bay since 1971. I’m downsizing to another place on the same bay.”
