1058 Timber Trail, Bracebridge

Tucked away on one of Muskoka's hidden gems, Bigwind Lake offers a rare sense of peace and natural beauty. With approximately 60% of the frontage of the lake is a protected as a nature reserve, the setting feels wonderfully unspoiled. From the cottage and waterfront, enjoy views across to protected Gull Island - a beautiful backdrop in every season. Set along 225 ft of shoreline on 1.34 acres, this much-loved retreat is surrounded by mature forest, Canadian Shield and water. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is bright, comfortable and distinctly Muskoka. The main level features open kitchen, dining and living spaces beneath vaulted ceilings, with wood floors, expansive windows and a woodstove. The primary bedroom is also on this level, with an ensuite and beautiful views. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a family room centred around a second wood-burning fireplace - an inviting place to gather on cooler days and evenings. A large deck with gazebo extends the living space outdoors, while stone steps and pathways lead through the trees to a second gazebo at the water's edge. The north-facing shoreline is complemented by a long dock that reaches into open water, offering excellent all-day sun and a beautiful place to spend summer days by the lake. A separate bunkie provides additional space for guests, while the detached 1.5-car garage, utility room and crawl space offer practical storage. Winterized for year-round enjoyment and accessed by a municipal road, the property is close to hiking and snowmobile trails, with Bracebridge and its amenities approximately 30 minutes away. A place for colourful fall weekends, long days on the water and fireside evenings with the people who matter most.
