ISLAND COTTAGE on Bow Lake! Adorable & spacious, this seasonal cottage, built in 2004 and cherished by the same family for 77 years, offers the ultimate escape from the everyday. In excellent condition and meticulously maintained, this turn-key retreat is being offered fully furnished and ready for your very first night at the lake. With two bedrooms on the main level, a large lofted third bedroom, and many furnishings already in place, you'll be ready to embrace island life from day one! Cathedral ceilings & expansive windows create a bright, open-concept living area, filling the cottage with natural light and showcasing peaceful views of beautiful Bow Lake. You'll feel worlds away from it all! On cooler evenings, gather around the cozy propane stove, enjoying the unmatched tranquility of this incredible setting. The meandering lot boasts over 430 feet of owned waterfrontage on Bow Lake, complete with an easy movable docking system, ATV/kayak launch area, sunny and shaded gathering spots, and a protected cove perfect for exploring. Spend your days boating, swimming, paddling, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water's edge. At night, enjoy a bonfire beneath the stars while listening to the calls of Bow Lake's beloved loons! 2 storage sheds provide ample space for lake gear, and the cottage is being sold furnished—including lawn and maintenance tools—so all you need to bring is your food and favorite beverages. Explore Bow Lake's inlets, coves and over 1,200 acres of open water, all from your own private island retreat. *Island Access* Accessible only by boat, this unique property offers the privacy & serenity that make island living so special. There is no deeded MAINLAND dock, however the property includes a 1/4 ownership interest in shared mainland parking area, providing a staging point for kayaks/ATVs, to make your way to the cottage. Included in Sale is an Argo ATV (amphibious vehicle capable of traveling on both land & water).
