Cottage Life Tips Series | By Realtor Jeffrey Braun | Corcoran Horizon Realty


Another Look at Iconic Properties and Inspired Living in the Heart of Cottage Country

Muskoka real estate continues to stand out as one of Canada’s most sought-after and enduring luxury markets. Whether the crystal-clear lakes draw you, the timeless A-frame style cottages, or the incredible lifestyle that defines cottage country, there’s never been a better time to take another look at what makes Muskoka the gold standard in waterfront living. From legacy family retreats to high-performing income properties, Muskoka offers more than real estate—it provides a way of life.

🌟 Featured Property: 42 Todholm Drive – A Lake Muskoka Gem

šŸ”‘ Key Features:

  • 211 ft of private waterfront

  • Covered single-slip boathouse
  • Hot tub, stone firepit & patio at water’s edge

šŸ  Muskoka Real Estate in 2025: Why It Still Leads the Market


Muskoka real estate remains strong in 2025, driven by:

  • High demand for turnkey waterfront cottages
  • Increased interest from remote professionals and GTA-based buyers
  • Strong short-term rental potential
  • Limited shoreline inventory on Lake Muskoka, Rosseau, and Joseph
  • Boating access + proximity to Port Carling = unmatched lifestyle value

With supply still relatively tight and well-appointed properties commanding top attention, the current market favours buyers seeking quality, not quantity. Listings like this one at Todholm Drive exemplify what makes Lake Muskoka homes a generational investment.


ā˜€ļø From the ā€œCottage Life Tipsā€ Series: Living the Dream, Practically


As part of our Cottage Life Tips Series, we regularly highlight real-world advice to make the most of your Muskoka investment:

āœ… Winterize for All-Season Use – Ensure your septic, pipes, and HVAC are winter-ready
āœ… Maximize Rental Income – Capitalize on Port Carling’s high-traffic summer season and low vacancy rates
āœ… Eco-Efficient Upgrades – Features like EV chargers, generators, and energy-efficient windows not only add value but also provide peace of mind
āœ… Waterfront Safety – Secure improved docks and boathouses (like the 2023 upgrades at 42 Todholm) to withstand changing weather conditions. Insights help you preserve your property, enhance your enjoyment, and protect your investment.

šŸ›„ļø Port Carling: The ā€œHubā€ of Muskoka Life


Known as the ā€œHub of the Lakes,ā€ Port Carling is more than a location—it’s a lifestyle. From lakeside boutiques and chef-led restaurants to historic landmarks like the Segwun steamship and scenic lock system, life here flows with seasonal energy.
