These bookend cottages on the shores of Halls Lake in Haliburton County offer a rare and exciting opportunity. With 156 feet of clear, deep shoreline, these two charming cottages sit just feet from the waters edge, a privilege no longer permitted under current building regulations. Both cottages are partially winterized and could be easily converted for year-round use. Together, they offer five bedrooms, two kitchens, and two bathrooms, providing ample space for family and guests. The gradual slope of the land allows for easy access to the lake. The yellow cottage was recently renovated, including the installation of a mini-split unit with heat pump and the lake-facing deck. Both feature thoughtful layouts that maximize space, bring in abundant natural light, and showcase stunning lake views. This property is also an excellent investment opportunity, offering strong rental income potential. With two separate cottages, its ideal for short-term vacation rentals, or a multi-family retreat. Conveniently located less than 10 minutes from some basic amenities and excellent restaurants, and just 25 minutes from a full range of amenities, including grocery stores, a hospital, a golf course, and shopping, you get the best of both seclusion and accessibility. You must visit this property in person to truly appreciate the charm and uniqueness offered. A professional rendering with floor plans has been created with a renovation idea for the blue cottage should someone wish to modernize it-ask your Realtor for details!
