The listing agent for the property, Steven Sarasin of Royal LePage Ignite Realty, tells Narcity that the land is owned by the Chippewa tribe, who lease out the land on 50-year contracts.
Also, with it being on an island, the cottage is only accessible by boat.
Thankfully, you won’t need to invest in your own watercraft.
Sarasin explained to Narcity that there are plenty of water taxis in the area that can transport you to and from the mainland.
Sarasin also noted that there's a growing demand for isolated cottages since the start of the pandemic.
He said that, in recent months, he has seen a spike in demand for his island listings. He claims that he's received a significant number of inquiries for these isolated properties compared to previous years.
It may not be a $7 million Muskoka cottage with everything you could dream of, but it's a little piece of paradise nonetheless. And a price tag like this one is simply unbeatable.
