About this home
Set on the iconic shores of Lake of Bays, Bigwin Island is a place where history, nature, and refined lakeside living come together in a way few destinations can offer. Once home to a celebrated resort that welcomed distinguished guests from across North America, the island still carries that sense of legacy, now reimagined for a more private and effortless lifestyle. Residence 319 offers an expansive and rarely available layout, creating a true sense of space that is often hard to find in cottage country. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, this top floor end unit provides both comfort and privacy, ideal for hosting family and friends or simply enjoying quiet weekends surrounded by nature. Large windows invite in natural light and frame peaceful views, while the generous footprint allows for relaxed, easy living without compromise. Life on Bigwin Island is about simplicity and connection. No cars, just walking paths, golf cart rides, and the rhythm of the lake. Days are spent boating, swimming, and soaking in the sun through the warmer months, while fall brings vibrant colours and crisp air. In winter, the island transforms into a serene escape perfect for snowshoeing, skating, and snowmobiling, offering a true four season experience that feels both peaceful and invigorating.Designed for those who value ease and a lock and leave lifestyle, this is a place where your time is spent enjoying the lake, not maintaining it. Whether you are seeking a weekend retreat or a place to gather year round, this is an opportunity to be part of something truly special on one of Muskoka's most storied islands.
