About the property:

Welcome to Birchcove-an iconic Lake Rosseau Estate on Windermere's coveted sunset shoreline. Offered for sale for the first time in its history, this generational property presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of South Lake Rosseau's most distinctive and irreplaceable waterfront holdings. Held by the same family for five generations, Birchcove spans an extraordinary setting of sandy shoreline, granite outcroppings, level landscaped grounds, twin cottages, and twin grandfathered boathouses; all enveloped in remarkable privacy and framed by sweeping western views. The six-bedroom main cottage captures the essence of classic Muskoka with an effortless sense of style. Rich basswood interiors, original character details, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, romantic dining room, two main-floor primary bedrooms, and a charming vintage kitchen create inviting spaces designed for gathering. Gingerbread-trimmed lakeside doors open seamlessly to a signature veranda overlooking the lake and spectacular summer sunsets. A separate three-bedroom guest cottage with full kitchen offers ideal accommodations for family and guests, creating a waterfront compound designed for generations to come. The grounds are exceptional with expansive lawns, historic stone pathways, and a stunning waterside terrace provide a setting equally suited to barefoot summer days, family celebrations, and elegant lakeside entertaining. At the shoreline, two iconic grandfathered boathouses offer five enclosed slips, extensive docking, and generous lounging areas connected by a whimsical footbridge that has become a landmark along these shores. Long antique slips, a boat port, sailboat ramp, and captivating views to Windermere & beyond complete an increasingly rare waterfront experience. Fully furnished and impossible to replicate, Birchcove represents a once-in-a-generation offering where heritage, privacy, and timeless Lake Rosseau living converge for today's modern family.
