This beautiful four-season retreat occupies a coveted stretch of shoreline on the wide-open waters of Echo Bay on Moon River, a location ideal for tubing, water skiing, and wakeboarding. The level, family-friendly property provides 135' of southeast-facing waterfront, where a natural, hard-packed sandy beach offers a gentle entry for children and deeper water off the dock invites paddling, boating and swimming. Designed for relaxed cottage living, the two-storey interior revolves around an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. Creamy white walls, light floors, pine accents, and a centre piece propane fireplace create a warm atmosphere for entertaining. The river-facing deck extends the living space for morning coffee and barbecues, while the screened Muskoka Room remains the preferred sanctuary for sharing stories on hot summer evenings. With 4 bedrooms, a den, and 2 full bathrooms, including a private second-floor primary bedroom with a 4-piece ensuite, the layout comfortably accommodates family and friends. An alcove on the second floor with an office provides a quiet workspace next to the den. The separate bunkie with its own 3-piece bathroom is a welcome retreat for teens or guests. Outside, mature trees frame an open, level grassy areas that provide a spacious playground for children.
