PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A tranquil lakeside retreat awaits. Nestled in a quiet bay, this thoughtfully designed turnkey bungalow offers everything you could want in a cottage getaway. From the expansive 16x20 dock, enjoy breathtaking views of the open lake and a picture-perfect lighthouse. After a refreshing swim, warm up in the lakeside sauna and embrace the peace of cottage life.
Inside, the spacious great room with its natural stone fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere that invites connection and conversation. A wall of Sunspace windows floods the space with natural light and frames the stunning outdoor views, blending indoor comfort with nature’s beauty. The open-concept layout is perfect for entertaining, with clearly defined areas for dining and lounging. The kitchen island becomes the hub of activity during meal prep, while a second wood stove near the kitchen adds rustic warmth after a day of adventure. Just off the kitchen, a built-in wet bar offers the ideal place to unwind with a drink in hand.
For a quieter moment, retreat to the second living room, perfectly tucked away for reading or relaxing away from the main gathering space. With 200 feet of waterfront, there’s something for everyone—shallow sandy areas ideal for children, deep clear waters for swimming, and a nearby island just a few strokes away for those craving a bit of exploration. Two bunkies provide extra accommodations for guests, and a U-shaped dock offers ample boat parking. This is the kind of place where summers turn into lifelong memories.
Weslemkoon Lake
Weslemkoon Lake is a secluded and picturesque body of water nestled in the Township of Addington Highlands, Ontario, approximately 110 kilometers north of Belleville. Spanning about 19.3 kilometers in length and 2.5 kilometers in width, with a maximum depth of nearly 55 meters, the lake is renowned for its clear waters, rugged granite shorelines, and numerous islands—many of which are uninhabited and open for recreational use. It is a haven for anglers, offering excellent opportunities to catch both largemouth and smallmouth bass, as well as lake trout. Designated as a natural lake trout lake, it supports native populations of this species, a rarity in Ontario.
Beyond fishing, Weslemkoon Lake is rich in natural and cultural history. A notable feature is its historic lighthouse, which dates back to the 1920s and is linked to visits by figures like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. The lake also includes a unique suspension bridge connecting two islands, and Squaw Point, a treeless area traditionally believed to have served as a refuge for Algonquin women and children during conflict. Surrounded by dense forests and wetlands, the area supports a wide variety of wildlife, including moose, black bears, lynx, bald eagles, and loons. Its remote charm and ecological richness make Weslemkoon Lake a beloved destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
