This is the kind of cottage where memories are made! Welcome to your completely private retreat on beautiful Otter Lake, featuring 190 feet of waterfront, three bedrooms, and a truly special setting. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by a stunning wood-burning fireplace, rustic hardwood floors, and a warm, open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area framed by a one-of-a-kind island view. Just off the main cottage is a large screened-in porch that's destined to become a favorite gathering place-late-night board games, drinks with friends, or an early morning coffee overlooking the lake. Down at the water's edge, you'll find a flat sand beach and campfire pit, perfect for swimming, relaxing by the shore, and roasting marshmallows for some of the best s'mores in cottage country. Best of all, this cottage is being offered turnkey, including indoor and outdoor furnishings, dishes, pots and pans, TV, BBQ, boat, and more. Simply arrive, unpack, and start enjoying cottage life. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including a new septic pump (2024), new septic alarm system and full pump-out (2026), new water pump (2026), roof ice breakers, and Smart Panels on the exterior of the fireplace. The cottage is also equipped with a 100-amp electrical panel and GenerLink for generator readiness. Approximately 30 minutes from both Minden and Huntsville and less than three hours from the GTA, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect escape from city life. Access is currently seasonal, with the potential to plow the road for future four-season enjoyment. Opportunities like this don't come along often. This is more than a cottage-it's a place for long summer days, evenings around the fire, time spent together, and meaningful memories that will last for generations.
