Encompassing a natural playground of over 1,600 freshwater lakes, it is of no surprise that National Geographic named Muskoka as Canada’s top summer destination in 2011.

Muskoka has just over 50,000 permanent residents, but an additional 100,000 seasonal property owners spend their summers in the region every year, making this a major summer colony and year round destination. Many of the seasonal properties are large mansion-like summer estates, some of which have been passed down through families from generation to generation. Most of these expensive properties can be found along the shores of Muskoka’s three major lakes: Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, and Lake Joseph. In recent years, various Hollywood and sports stars have built retreats in Muskoka.

Woodmere Island is located on southern Lake Rosseau, approximately 2 hours away from Toronto with easy access from either Highway 11 or Hwy 400.

Dotted by beautiful family cottages – the island also includes a dining lodge, a common pavilion, a laundry facility, a wishing well and charming pathways connecting everything

together. Superbly maintained, the island includes replacement of all primary services and distribution which is underground. Sprinkler systems for the upper and lower lawns and recently replaced sewage pumps along with many other exceptional renovations contribute greatly to both the safety and splendor of this spectacular get-away. This magnificent retreat is the ultimate family compound.

This island includes (an increasingly rare) deeded docking and parking on the mainland mere minutes away and is located within close proximity to some wonderful amenities:

Provides unparalleled sunset views from the Muskoka room, the boathouse is a traditionally appointed hideaway featuring two boat slips, three bedrooms, a unique living room.
