Lighthouse Island, Muskoka's Historic Jewel. For the first time in nearly 115 years, 2.39 acres of iconic Lighthouse Island at the Narrows on world-famous Lake Muskoka is being offered to the public.

Accessible by a short 10-minute boat ride from the nearest marina, your journey to the island treats you to sweeping lake views before arriving at your own piece of paradise. With captivating 360 degree views, you'll enjoy both golden sunrises and breathtaking moonlit evenings over the water. A sandy beach cove beside the lighthouse, owned by the crown, has been enjoyed uninterruptedly for generations along with multiple other convenient swimming areas, while the existing crib dock provides secure docking for your watercraft. The property's original heritage cottage, built in 1911, still stands as a nostalgic reminder of Muskoka's golden era of summer retreats. Whether you envision restoring it to its former charm or creating a brand-new estate, the possibilities are endless. The shoreline and land have been untouched by development for generations, offering unspoiled natural surroundings and incredible privacy.
