Located at the edge of the Muskoka boundary, it delivers coveted proximity with greater privacy and control than typically found on the major lakes. Create your dream cottage retreat or a private family compound. Subject to all applicable township approvals, current Rural (RU) zoning permits a detached dwelling, and a preliminary planning review suggests potential future lot creation as 3 waterfront lots and a retained lot, offering long-term flexibility and investment value. A gated entrance leads to an improved gravel driveway extending approx. 1 km to the shoreline. As the only practical road access to the lake’s waterfront, this feature ensures a rare level of exclusivity. Extensive improvements by the current owners include road upgrades/extensions, expanded clearings, multiple building sites and an established network of trails, significantly reducing the uncertainty often associated with large acreage. Pickering Lake is a true hidden gem, with largely untouched shoreline & minimal boat traffic, ideal for swimming, paddling, fishing, or simply enjoying the serenity. The land itself is diverse and highly usable, featuring mature forest, rock outcroppings, streams & elevated building envelopes. With exceptionally low current carrying costs, the property is well-suited for a long-term hold. Whether envisioned as a year-round estate, weekend retreat, or multi-generational compound with future development potential, this offering combines scale & strategic value in one remarkable package.
