About the property

Just north of Huntsville, Ont., this year-round property on Lake Cecebe, near Burk’s Falls, is on the market for just shy of $1.8 million. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an abundance of living space, the cottage has plenty of room for guests and entertaining. The main entrance opens into the updated kitchen, which flows into the main dining and living areas. Doors from the dining space lead out to the lake-facing deck, which is perfect for summer barbecuing. The bedrooms are bright and spacious, and the primary bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom and two private balconies for enjoying the view. Downstairs, you’ll find a recreation area, with a pool table and other games, and another cozy living area. There is a double-door walkout on the lower level to a large outdoor space. Stairs at the side of the property lead down to a firepit area, and then down to the dock at the waterfront. This updated property with tons of privacy is ideal for cottaging or full-time lakefront living.
