Welcome to your lakeside retreat on Bird Lake. This almost 1,800 sq. ft. four-season-potential cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and serene privacy. Set on just under an acre of land with 200' of private shoreline, this property guarantees peace and seclusion in the heart of nature. Lovingly maintained and upgraded annually by the original owner since 1971, the home offers main floor living with 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The open-concept living/dining area is warm and inviting, centered around a custom-built stone fireplace, handcrafted by a local artisan using locally sourced stone to suit the cottages' character. Expansive windows bring in beautiful views of Bird Lake, and a huge deck spans the entire lakeside of the cottage, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Enjoy the tranquil Muskoka/sunroom, perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings overlooking the water. The property includes two garden sheds, tons of storage, and a sandy, walk-in shallow entry into the lake, perfect for kids and water lovers alike. The underside of the cottage is easily accessible, making it simple to convert to a true four season home if desired. The septic system was replaced in 2011, and road access is municipally maintained from May to November, with an option for year-round plowing available through a local cottage association for just $900/year. Whether you're looking for a family cottage, income property, or your forever retreat, this Bird Lake gem checks all the boxes for peaceful lakeside living.
