About this residence
Welcome to a rare waterfront retreat on the quiet shores of Lost Lake, offering exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and four-season enjoyment. This property features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, providing comfortable space for family living, weekend escapes, or hosting guests. Offering peace of mind with recent updates, an automatic generator, propane heat and forced air recirculation for the warmer months, ensures comfort and reliability throughout the seasons. The layout provides functional living space while maintaining a cozy cottage feel that encourages relaxation and connection. Lost Lake is an exclusive and peaceful setting shared by only a small number of waterfront owners, where nature takes centre stage. Mornings begin with calm waters and the sound of loons, while evenings bring breathtaking sunsets and clear night skies. The lake offers excellent opportunities for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and paddle sports, making it an ideal setting for those who appreciate quiet waterfront living. In winter, the property transforms into a true outdoor retreat with skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing right outside your door. Warmer months invite long days on the water, quiet afternoons on the dock, and evenings spent enjoying the natural surroundings. The property is accessed via a township-maintained road, with garbage and recycling services available, making year-round use easy and accessible. Located just minutes from McGeachie Conservation Area and the Dickey Lake boat launch, outdoor recreation opportunities are always close by while the setting still feels private and removed from everyday busyness. Known as "HYGGE," this special property reflects the Danish concept of warmth, comfort, and enjoying life's simple moments whether used as a year-round home or a peaceful getaway. (id:61366)
