About This Property

Towering pines, a magnificent oak at the shoreline, and expansive lake views welcome you to this timeless Kahshe Lake retreat, a property rich in nostalgia, history, and classic Muskoka charm. Set on 1.81 acres with 341 feet of waterfront, this cherished family compound offers two distinct seasonal cottages, a sleeping bunkie tucked into the rock, sandy shoreline, granite outcroppings, and the kind of setting where generations of memories are made. The main waterfront cottage was designed for relaxed lakeside living, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open-concept principal rooms, a screened Muskoka room, and expansive decks ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings overlooking the lake. A private deck off the kitchen creates a peaceful place to unwind, while the lower level provides additional living space for family and guests. Steps back from the water's edge, yet still capturing magnificent lake views, the original log farmhouse dates back to 1891 and once belonged to Sam Cook, offering a rare connection to Muskoka's early cottage history. Expanded in 1993 while preserving its authentic character, the cabin is filled with warmth and timeless charm. The screened porch, complete with the familiar squeak of the old screen door, invites slow mornings and long summer evenings at the lake. Inside, exposed log walls and open ceiling beams frame the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, while a classic woodstove comfortably heats the entire cottage. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a clawfoot tub. At the shoreline, smooth granite rock, windswept pines, and a tucked-away sandy beach area create an ideal setting for long summer days on Kahshe Lake. A spacious dock offers the best place for swimming, boating or taking in the views. A classic Muskoka property where traditions are built, memories are shared.
