Cottage For Sale Ontario!
NEW LISTING!
Cottage Life Tips Series | Realtor Jeffrey Braun | Corcoran Horizon Realty
Welcome to 1194 Muskoka Rd 38 Road in Muskoka Lakes, a newly built waterfront home on the Moon River that delivers a rare mix of value, functionality, and location. Whether you are looking for a personal getaway, a full-time residence, or a smart cottage investment, this property stands out for one simple reason: it offers a modern Muskoka waterfront lifestyle for under $1 million.
Set on 130+ feet of pristine frontage, this fully winterized home is designed for year-round enjoyment. From the moment you arrive, the property feels like an easy escape, peaceful, private, and connected to the water in a way that captures what buyers love most about cottage life in Ontario.
A Modern Muskoka Waterfront Home Built For Real Life
This is not a fixer-upper. It is not a seasonal cabin that needs major upgrades before you can enjoy it. This is a newly built, move-in-ready waterfront home designed with comfort, efficiency, and simplicity in mind.The home features:
- 3 bedrooms
- 1 bathroom
- Main-floor living
- 20-foot cathedral ceilings
- Open-concept design
- Four-season Muskoka room
- Large deck overlooking the water
That combination matters. For many buyers, the dream cottage is not just about summer weekends. It is about ease. It is about being able to arrive, settle in, and enjoy the property without immediately planning repairs, renovations, or expensive upgrades.
Waterfront on the Moon River
The waterfront is where this property truly comes to life.Located on the Moon River, the property offers 138 feet of frontage in a quiet bay with easy access to open water. The setting is ideal for buyers who want the beauty and recreation of Muskoka waterfront living with a slightly calmer, more tucked-away feel.
The property includes a private dock that can accommodate most boats, making it a turn-key option for boating, swimming, paddling, and summer entertaining. The Moon River is known for its expansive, lake-like feel, which adds to the sense of openness and classic cottage-country appeal.
For buyers looking for a waterfront property that feels both peaceful and usable, this is a strong lifestyle fit.
Main-Floor Living With Four-Season Flexibility
One of the most appealing aspects of this property is how practical it is.With only three steps to the front door, this home offers true main-floor living, making it especially attractive for:
- Retirees
- Downsizers
- Families with young children
- Buyers looking for easier accessibility
- Anyone wanting a lower-maintenance waterfront lifestyle
- A family gathering space
- A home office with waterfront views
- A quiet reading room
- An entertaining area with direct access to the deck
Future Upside Already Built Into the Property
A great listing is not only about what exists now. It is also about what the property can become.This home comes with an approved site plan for a detached garage with a loft and bathroom, and the septic system has already been designed to support that future addition.
That gives buyers meaningful flexibility for the years ahead.
Potential future uses could include:
- Additional guest accommodation
- A separate office or studio
- Extra storage for recreational gear
- Added long-term resale appeal
Privacy and Convenience in One of Ontario’s Most Desirable Cottage Regions
This property offers both.
The neighboring property is owned by the township, creating a well-treed buffer and long-term privacy. That helps preserve the peaceful atmosphere and gives the property a more tucked-away feel.
At the same time, the location is just minutes from Bala, one of Muskoka’s most loved communities.
From here, you are close to:
- Local restaurants
- A farmers’ market
- The library
- The curling club
- The KEE to Bala
- Easy access from the GTA
Why This Property Stands Out
There are many cottages for sale in Ontario.Very few offer this exact combination of features:
- Muskoka waterfront
- New construction
- Under $1 million
- Fully winterized
- Main-floor living
- Private dock
- Future garage and loft potential
- Minutes to Bala
It is not trying to be the biggest or most extravagant property in Muskoka. It is offering something more strategic: a smart, stylish, and practical waterfront opportunity in one of Ontario’s most iconic cottage markets.
