An exceptional commercial investment opportunity in the heart of Muskoka, offering over 5.3 acres across two deeded parcels and zoned WC1 (Waterfront Commercial). Ideally positioned just five minutes from Bala and within 15 minutes of Port Carling and Port Sandfield, 1168 Moon River Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established cottage operation with significant income potential and future development possibilities.The main 3-acre parcel features a collection of eight well-maintained cottages, creating an attractive foundation for a boutique resort, short-term rental business, corporate retreat, or private family compound. The approximately 2,500 sq. ft. two-storey main cottage offers three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, while seven additional year-round cottages provide one to two bedrooms, full kitchens, and private bathrooms. Together, the cottages offer flexible accommodation options and the potential for multiple revenue streams.Set among mature trees and open lawns, the property provides a private and peaceful Muskoka setting with western exposure and beautiful sunset views. Guests enjoy convenient access to Moon River and the surrounding lake system, with opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating, and paddling. The combination of recreational appeal, established accommodations, and commercial zoning creates a compelling investment proposition.A second deeded parcel of approximately 2.2 acres sits behind the main property, adding valuable land for future expansion, additional accommodations, or complementary development, subject to approvals.Whether continuing the existing cottage operation or repositioning the property for a higher-end hospitality concept, 1168 Moon River Road offers scale, flexibility, and a strong Muskoka location. With eight existing cottages, commercial zoning, lake access, and over 5.3 acres of land, this is a unique opportunity to acquire and grow a diversified Muskoka investment.
