As the thinking goes, the primary value of a cottage is in getting away—from the Monday-to-Friday grind, the hustle and bustle of the city, and the concerns of your daily life. How much the better, though, to do that getting away in style, and bring some friends and family along for the fun?
A recent property listing of Tom and Angie O’Hara, owners of Coldwell Banker Muskoka, Brokerage in Port Carling, delivers on all fronts. For privacy, you have 9.45 acres of classic Muskoka gold, including 530 feet of pristine shoreline on the beautiful Cassidy Lake. Located adjacent to the exclusive Öviinbyrd Golf Club, of which Tom and Angie are members, the cottage enjoys the benefits of virtually uninterrupted natural views. An added perk: a coveted membership at Öviinbyrd is negotiable with purchase of the property.
Custom-built and inspired by travels in Provence, the cottage exudes French-chateau timelessness. Take, for example, the lake-facing exterior’s thick mortar-joint limestone masonry, steeply sloped roof, and tall chimneys. A low encircling limestone wall lends a castle-like elegance while also providing an abundance of sun-drenched outdoor living space. At night, award-winning landscape lighting makes for
a resplendent, postcard-perfect image.
As one would expect, the interior also conveys European flair. A main-floor master bedroom features vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, and French doors opening onto a limestone patio. For family and friends, five more beautiful bedrooms in the upper storey are situated to provide the ultimate in comfort and sophistication, with Juliet balconies on two lake-facing bedrooms where guests can take in breathtaking views of the water from the comfort of their own sleeping quarters.
On each end of the main floor, a great room features its own classic Muskoka limestone wood-burning fireplace and lake view. Between the two living areas, a luxurious open kitchen with Thermador six-burner gas oven, large island, and built-in appliances overlooks a spacious dining room flooded by daylight from lake-side stacked windows. Limestone is picked up in the interior of the three-season Muskoka room, which offers easy access to the extensive patio area and back into the cottage via one of the two great rooms.
A sizable butler’s pantry behind the kitchen provides plenty of space for behind-the-curtain preparations when entertaining. Outside, extensive terraced patios and a full outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue and stone fireplace extend the living space. From the patio, a charming stone pathway winds through English gardens down to a quiet shoreline and expansive dock. Tucked in the trees behind the cottage, a detached two-car garage includes an expansive, sunny deck, and framed-out space for two-bedroom guest quarters with bathroom.
Rich in privacy, exclusive in location, refined in style, and with access to the esteemed Öviinbyrd Golf Club, this Muskoka chateau combines some of the most highly sought-after features in Muskoka into one marvellous package.
