Highlands Island. This island, steeped in history, serves up an unprecedented sanctuary of privacy with over half of the island owned by the Muskoka Conservancy forever ensuring its preservation as a tranquil haven for old growth forest and wildlife. This offering constitutes the very sizeable southern tract of shore and is already approved to be further severed into two should one wish to create a multi-generational family compound. Just two families own the balance of the island with no other development permitted. The southern shoreline of Highlands Island boasts both deep water and a sandy, shallow beach enjoying all-day sunshine. An existing water’s edge cottage provides a grandfathered footprint in a unique and idyllic setting along with a myriad of additional sites to choose from all capturing wonderfully private, long lake vistas. The buyer will also own half of Highlands Island’s private mainland docking and parking facility less than five minutes away. The new mainland dock will provide the buyer of these lands with two designated private dock spaces and four parking spots. This property, being offered to cottagers for the first time in over 100 years, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the privacy of island life and the convenience of a private landing remarkably close.
