1187 Rignalls Road, Bracebridge

Let me tell you about a place most people will never get the chance to call their own. A private bay. More than 4 acres. Nearly 1,000 feet of shoreline wrapping around a peninsula-like point. Surrounded by water, the horizon glows with west-facing sunsets that stop you in your tracks. A long, private driveway leads you in, and suddenly, the rest of the world falls away. The shoreline is everything you hope Muskoka can be - hard-packed sand, a vintage boathouse at the waters edge, and wooded trails that wind through the trees behind you. It feels untouched, timeless, almost as if the lake itself belongs to you. And then there's the cottage. Wrapped in cedar log siding, it carries that nostalgic character only decades of summers can create. Five bedrooms. A wood-burning fireplace. And a Muskoka room that quickly becomes the heart of your days. Morning coffee you never want to rush. A book left open because the view distracted you. Family meals that carry on longer than planned. Rainy nights that somehow turn into just one more game. These are the kinds of moments you'll catch yourself replaying, again and again. Step outside to the lakeside deck and the view opens wide. It's uninterrupted, expansive, unforgettable. Here, you don't just unplug. You return to yourself. Everything stays. From the tools in the shed to the chairs on the deck - even the boat at the dock. You turn the key, and its already yours. This isn't just real estate. Its legacy. The same family has held this place since the 1950s. The road leading in bears their name. For nearly 70 summers, this piece of Muskoka has been the backdrop for their stories, their laughter, their memories. Now, for the first time in over six decades, its ready for someone new. Someone who understands that the best places aren't just owned, they're cared for, lived in, and passed on. Maybe that someone is you.
