Property Description

A Rare Opportunity to Own an Entire Island on Kahshe Lake. There is something truly special about owning an entire island especially one with a story as rich as Retlaw Island. Steeped in history and well-known to longtime cottagers on Kah-She-She-Bog-a-Mog (Kahshe Lake), Retlaw holds the distinction of being the subject of what is believed to be the first aerial-view postcard of a full island on the lake, and possibly in all of Muskoka. Built over 100 years ago by Art Sopher, a respected local resort owner and artisan of cedar strip canoes, the original cottage was custom built for the Follis family. A little known fact is the islands name, Retlaw, is Walter spelled backwards, a tribute to its first owner. This cherished family retreat is now being offered for sale for the first time in more than a century. The decision has not come lightly, and the family's hope is that the next owners will love and care for the island just as they have. Set at the peaceful western end of the lake, the island enjoys serene sunrises over Burnt Island, breathtaking sunsets to the west, and unobstructed views of rainbows arching from shore to shore. The well-maintained three-bedroom cottage offers cozy spaces for reading, relaxing, or entertaining guests with a glass of wine and a light lunch. A natural stone, wood-burning fireplace brings warmth and charm, especially in the shoulder seasons of spring and fall. The exterior is designed for minimal upkeep, with vinyl siding and a durable steel roof, while the interior reflects generations of care and pride of ownership. Outdoor enjoyment is at the heart of island living. Cast a line right from the dock, or enjoy excellent swimming on the north side complete with a diving board stand that hints at deep, clean water. The spacious dock accommodates a ski boat, fishing boat, or family-sized pontoon for leisurely cruises through Kahshe Lakes scenic channels, inlets, and bays.
