Muskoka is famous  in Canada as being one of the most prestigious addresses for cottage real estate, a reputation that is begining to grow around the world. Already celebrities like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell vacation there. Now is your opportunity to purchase an prestigious island property in this exclusive region.

Since 1888, the aptly named “Fairview” Island has welcomed families to its 5 acres of gently sloping, user-friendly topography and over 2,200 feet of shoreline on lower Lake Rosseau. The island itself boasts some of the finest sand beaches in all of Muskoka and includes groupings of stunning granite rock outcroppings and rock ledge shorelines that fall off into the sparkling blue waters of Lake Rosseau.

Fairview Island is the ideal setting to build your new dream retreat with unbeatable redevelopment potential due to its extensive list of desirable attributes.  Alternatively, you can be one of the few families to enjoy the original cottage which still sits stoically on Precambrian granite as it has for over a century. This traditional “Olde Muskoka” cottage includes both walls and striking 12 foot ceilings of the finest handcrafted gum woods throughout the cottage. Most of the 7 uniquely designed bedrooms feature a combination of Juliet balconies, or covered verandas, perfect for a quiet morning coffee with the sounds of the waves breaking on the rocky shore. The 4th floor belfry tower and over 1,550 square feet of covered veranda surrounding the main floor with sweeping views of Lake Rosseau add even extra character to this exceptional vintage cottage. A winterized 2 bedroom pine-lined bunkie with screened Muskoka room plus a 2 slip boathouse with additional sleeping area, complete this exclusive family enclave.

Fairview island is currently listed for 2.9M and can be found at Private Islands Online.
