Rare Muskoka Acreage Opportunity! Charming Log Home on 45 Private Acres - Just Steps from South Portage Beach & Boat Launch on Lake of Bays! Discover your perfect Muskoka retreat in this warm and inviting 2-storey log home, nestled on 45 wooded acres and only a 2-minute walk from the sandy shores and public boat launch at South Portage Beach. The spacious living room features a stunning granite stone fireplace, while the open-concept kitchen and dining area is kept cozy year-round by a classic Irish wood cook stove.
