Discover this classic, turn-key three-season cottage full of character on Head Lake. With three bedrooms and a cozy kiddie loft, there is plenty of space for family and guests. The open-concept family room and kitchen create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Set on over half an acre, the property features 130 feet of shallow, clean, rocky shoreline with sunny west-facing exposure, stunning sunset views, and shaded areas just steps away. Extensively renovated in the past five years, this 950 sq ft retreat blends vintage charm with modern comforts. A sun-drenched dry boathouse at the waters edge is tied into a concrete breakwater and connected to a pole dock system. Deeded access to a beautiful 127-acre private forest across the road offers scenic walking trails and a welcoming community with great neighbours. The cottage is connected to Bell Fibe internet and features a WETT (2025) certified wood stove. Unwind in the wood-fired sauna, by the firepit, or in the screened-in lakeside gazebo. Additional features include a storage shed and an outdoor privy. Head Lakes undeveloped shoreline makes it ideal for canoeing and kayaking. The entrance of the Head River is navigable for two kilometres upstream, while adventurous paddlers can explore the Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park. The lake offers excellent fishing for Bass, Muskie, and Pickerel and straddles the transition between the limestone belt and the rugged Canadian Shield. Easily accessible via a public boat ramp, the cottage is under 15 minutes from Norland and Coboconk for shopping, 30 minutes east of Orillia, and just over two hours from the GTA on a year-round, municipally maintained road.
