Escape to the quieter side of Grey County with this charming 4 season waterfront property on peaceful Townsend Lake. Whether you're looking for an affordable cottage, a weekend retreat, or a modest country home where you can enjoy a little more space and a slower pace, this inviting property offers an attainable way to experience rural and waterfront living. Set on a private, well-treed 1.5 acre lot, the property enjoys calm natural shoreline that's ideal for paddling, kayaking and fishing, along with 3 routes providing access to deeper open water for swimming and summer fun. Start your mornings with coffee on the screened porch overlooking the lake, spend afternoons on the water or around the campfire, and finish the day in peace and quiet under the stars. Inside, the bright and comfortable layout is well suited to easy 1 floor living, with 2 main-floor bedrooms, a full bathroom, kitchen open to the dining area, and a cozy living room with propane stove. A generous loft-style 3rd bedroom provides plenty of additional space for family and guests, or could easily serve as a flexible den or home office. A detached double garage and garden shed offer excellent storage for vehicles, tools, kayaks and all the gear that comes with country and cottage life. The home is move-in ready while still offering the opportunity to make updates and add your own style over time. Use it as your full-time home, an affordable family cottage, or simply a peaceful place to escape the city and enjoy life by the lake. Located just minutes from amenities in Markdale and within easy reach of hiking trails, skiing, golf and the outdoor attractions the area is known for, this is an opportunity to enjoy the Grey County lifestyle without the premium price often associated with waterfront property!
