White Pines

This upscale log home cottage offers the ultimate in luxury, privacy and fun!

Situated just 2.5 hours north of Toronto, north of Port Carling and south of the town of Rosseau, this summer home is close to shopping, casual and fine dining and many world class golf courses.

The Property

White Pines is perched high on shores of Little Lake Joe, a very desirable quiet and private bay on Lake Joseph. White Pines sits high on a private wooded lot with spectacular panoramic views of the lake from all angles.

Spend the day on the dock at White Pines!  This large dock has a selection of Muskoka chairs, a shallow sandy area by the shore for little children, deep water swimming off the end.  The kids will have fun playing on the giant aqua lily pad and everyone can learn to stand up paddle board.

Explore the shoreline by kayak; try your luck at fishing in the bay.  Little Lake Joe is popular for wakeboarding and wakesurfing!   Enjoy walking, running, and cycling on the quiet cottage laneway.

Beautiful gardens surround a stunning stone patio with sofa set and umbrella, making for a relaxing time – coffee in the morning; wine in late afternoon.  Breathe in the scent of fragrant flowers everywhere, watch chipmunks and squirrels darting back and forth between the rocks.  Listen for the birds flitting around the birdhouses and feeders and look for hummingbirds sipping nectar too!

Enjoy evening campfires under the stars!  Light the tiki torches and listen to your favourite playlists through the outdoor speaker system.  An outdoor lighting system lights all the pathways.

White Pines boasts two lakeside decks – your choice – an upper deck and a lower deck.  Enjoy peaceful solitude and spectacular views from both.

The Cottage

Feel the warmth of this open concept log home with its gleaming pine floors and walls.  The Great Room has a high vaulted ceiling and huge wall to wall windows offering majestic views of the lake.  Rustic pine furniture and a double-sided granite stone fireplace provide a cozy element.
