1014 Fire Route 74, North Kawartha, ON K0L 1A0

About this residence

Welcome to 1014 Fire Route 74 on the sparkling shores of Eels Lake - a truly special family cottage compound where generations of memories have been made and timeless cottage traditions live on. Set on more than an acre of exceptionally private point property with ~720ft of waterfront, this remarkable setting offers panoramic lake views to the North, East, and South, allowing for beautiful sunrises and plenty of sun & shade. Surrounded by water and mature trees the property captures the peaceful feeling of an old-fashioned canadian summer at the lake. The original 1938 cottage, offering ~1400sq. ft. of living space, sits just steps from the shoreline and has been lovingly enjoyed for decades. Near the water's edge, the ~900sq. ft. boathouse mirrors the cottage's nostalgic appeal, and features an additional three bedrooms, along with it's own bathroom and kitchen - ideal for hosting extended family and lifelong friends. Designed for slow mornings, card games on rainy afternoons, and long summer days by the water, this property is made to enjoy. Three screened-in porches allow for peaceful outdoor enjoyment, where the sounds of the lake and the surrounding forest become part of daily life. The shoreline offers a beautiful mix - classic canadian shield rock, deep & shallow entry areas, and some hard-packed sandy sections - the perfect waterfront for all ages. Whether continued as a treasured multi-generational family getaway or thoughtfully reimagined for the future, this is the kind of property that becomes part of a family's story for generations to come.
