About This Property

Discover the potential of this exceptional country building lot on a quiet dead-end road just outside Washago Village-minutes north of Orillia and south of Gravenhurst. Zoned Residential Backlot (RB7), this generous 648 sq. m. parcel extends approximately 250 ft. deep to the lot line at the cedar trees and blends classic Muskoka scenery with meaningful site preparation already underway. Surrounded by mature trees and natural forest, the property offers a peaceful, private setting with a cleared building area ready to bring your vision to life. While the area has not been de-stumped, all variances have been cleared, helping set the stage for your future build. An approximately 80-ft. long by 30-ft. wide gravel driveway provides excellent access for construction vehicles, complete with a substantial 10-inch gravel base and a code-compliant double-wall 375 mm culvert installed over 15 cm of gravel. A standout feature is the impressive approximately 2,500 sq. ft. flat Muskoka granite area, enhanced by a dramatic 15-ft. granite wall-a remarkable natural backdrop for a custom home, outdoor entertaining space, or a design that celebrates the rugged beauty of the region. The property permits a maximum building footprint of up to 4,000 sq. ft., offering plenty of room to create something truly special. Enjoy hydro at the road, easy Highway 11 access, and the convenience of a year-round municipally maintained road. Nature lovers will appreciate being within walking distance of Wasdell Falls and the Severn River.
