The secret is out - Bala is Muskoka's most cherished town, and this Moon River paradise is the complete cottage package, inside and out! Nestled on a level, maturely treed lot, 140' of coveted southwest frontage invites you to live outdoors. Spend sun-drenched afternoons lounging on the soft sand beach or diving into deep water off the newer dock, then cap off the day with a steam in the outdoor barrel sauna as golden-hour sunsets wash over the river.The sprawling, freshly painted bungalow is thoughtfully designed for effortless living. The West Wing serves as a private primary sanctuary with a walk-in closet, large ensuite, and quiet home office. At the center, a vast open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area flows onto a wide deck overlooking lush gardens and sparkling water. An East Wing hosts 2 guest bedrooms and a full bath, while the walkout lower level adds a cozy wood-stove family room, 5th bedroom, and a bunk room for the endless laughter and overflow that cottage life brings. Beyond the tranquility, the Moon River offers miles of deep-water exploration - perfect for tubing, waterskiing, paddling, or cruising directly into town by boat. Enjoy complete peace of mind with town water, a backup generator, newer furnaces/HWT, and a paved municipal road to the 3-car garage. Walk or boat to Don's Bakery for morning scones, browse boutique shops, and spend summer nights at the iconic Kee to Bala. Pure Muskoka magic awaits!
