1168 Moon River Road, Muskoka Lakes, ON P0C 1A0, Muskoka Lakes, ON
5.31 sqft
An extraordinary waterfront commercial opportunity on the serene shores of Moon River, nestled in the heart of Muskoka. Encompassing over 5.3 acres across two deeded parcels and zoned WC1 (Waterfront Commercial), this remarkable property unlocks a world of possibilities - from a boutique luxury resort or premium short-term rental operation, to a high-end residential enclave or a generational family compound. Positioned along a quiet stretch of Moon River just five minutes from Bala and within 15 minutes of Port Carling and Port Sandfield, this is a location that offers true Muskoka seclusion without sacrificing convenience.The main parcel stretches over 3 acres of gently sloping, open terrain with western exposure, treating residents and guests to spectacular sunset views over the water. A sandy beach provides direct access for swimming, fishing, and paddling, while mature trees and open lawns create a naturally private and inviting setting. At the heart of the property sits a handsome two-storey cottage of approximately 2,500 sq. ft., featuring three bedrooms each with its own ensuite - perfectly suited for hosting or anchoring a larger retreat. Seven additional year-round cottages surround the main residence, each thoughtfully appointed with one to two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a private bathroom, offering immediate income potential or guest accommodations.A second deeded parcel of 2.2 acres sits just behind the main site, providing valuable room for future expansion or complementary development. Whether you choose to operate the property in its current resort configuration or reimagine it entirely, the foundation is already in place. With its commercial waterfront zoning, substantial acreage, sandy beach, and an unbeatable position in cottage country, 1168 Moon River Road is a truly singular opportunity that rarely presents itself in Muskoka.
