Don't judge this one by the drive-by. From the road, it's in the heart of Bala. Step around back and it's a different property: peaceful, private and looking out over Lake Muskoka. It's one of the most complete Lake Muskoka packages under $2M. Start at the water. A grandfathered two-storey boathouse has two slips, one covered and one open, plus 90% dock coverage. Both are rare and hard to replicate today. The boathouse faces away from town for complete privacy. From inside, you don't see any of the Bala activity, just water, trees and open sky, while everything you need sits right next door.The lovingly renovated 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage sits on a grandfathered footprint, with room for the whole family and the guests who follow.Then there are the things that make life easy. Town water and sewer mean no well or septic to manage. The municipally maintained road gives true four-season use, and there's parking for 6. Bala's shops, restaurants and summer energy are out front. Out back, it's the quiet of the lake.Privacy from the road is an easy add with landscaping. What you can't add anywhere else is grandfathered waterfront structures, municipal services and an in-town Lake Muskoka location, all in one property.The full package, under $2M.
