Modern Waterfront - Lakefield

Welcome to the Modern Waterfront. Located on Katchawanooka Lake, you can choose to drive or boat to Lakefield, the charming village full of restaurants, cafes, and amenities or take the locks all along the Trent Canal. In the summer, soak in up the sun fishing on your private dock, going out for a kayak, or parking your boat. Calm & clear water great for swimming is 30 steps from your back door. Families will enjoy the small, gradual sloping beach with peaceful lake and island views.

The space
The waterfront retreat, where contemporary meets Nature.

This new build, modern waterfront cottage nestled in the pine trees overlooks the clear blue water of Lake Katchewanooka. As you approach your vacation destination, enjoy the forested lane welcoming you to your retreat. From your private dock you are ready for a dip, sunbathing, kayaking or just hanging out. The waterfront and dock boast a view of two private uninhabited islands waiting to be explored and you may peek at deers swimming between the islands across from your 100 foot waterfront oasis. The dock's muskoka chairs are perfect for both morning coffee and stargazing at night. In the evening, stay still and be patient, and you can also catch meteors burning brightly across the sky, with one of the most famous meteor showers-the Perseids-peaking in August. There are binoculars for your convenience located on the book and games shelving.
Wave at boaters exploring the Trent Canal system from the waterfront. Count the turtles and other wildlife as you slow down and quietly explore the lake on kayaks. Catch a lift lock cruise. Just outside the picturesque village of Lakefield, known for its Butter Tart, Bicycle, Literary and Jazz festivals. You’re in a prime spot to boat to the village for your coffee. Close to the Youngs Point Locks, local ice cream (Kawartha Dairy), great pizza, and a unique summer experience! Enjoy the local birds and the new manicured gardens from the sky high windows from your 100 foot waterfront oasis. The lake view of the islands from the covered patio is unbeatable.
Enjoy nature without sacrificing the modern conveniences of home.
