Luxury Lake Joseph Island Retreat with Boathouse and Western Exposure

On the west shores of Playfair Island on Lake Joseph, this exceptional island retreat enjoys breathtaking western exposure, 426 feet of pristine shoreline, and over 3 acres of beautifully landscaped privacy. Thoughtfully designed and impeccably finished, the property showcases stunning custom craftsmanship and professional décor curated to impress even the most discerning guests.

The main cottage features six bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with bright, spacious open-concept living areas ideal for gathering and relaxing. A dramatic two-sided wood-burning stone fireplace anchors the living and family rooms, while the generous, family-sized kitchen offers honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a grand central island perfect for entertaining.

Throughout the home, coffered ceilings, antiqued hemlock flooring, tongue-and-groove and board-and-batten walls are finished in fresh, contemporary white tones. High, dramatic ceilings and expansive windows flood the interior with natural light. Every room is equipped with a ceiling fan, some feature charming window seats, and ceiling styles vary to add architectural interest and warmth.

A full-width front verandah overlooks a large, level yard ideal for lawn games, yet the home is nestled into a gentle hill to provide elevated views and exceptional privacy.

The newly built boathouse adds two additional bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, making this an ideal multi-family or multi-generational retreat. The lower boathouse includes three boat slips and a relaxed seating area right at the water’s edge—perfect for lakeside lounging and sunset watching. An inclinator conveniently connects the boathouse to the main cottage, making movement between the waterfront and the home effortless and comfortable for all ages.

For added convenience, the owner rents a slip at Gordon Bay Marina, located just three minutes away.

This is Lake Joseph island living at its finest—private, refined, and designed for unforgettable Muskoka memories.
