This iconic Lake Joseph private island is situated within the group of islands known as "The Three Sisters". This is one of the most sought after locations on Lake Joseph. Hope Island offers big lake views in all directions. Both the morning sunrise and the rising moon can be enjoyed on the easterly water's edge stone terrace. The westerly patio offers fabulous sunsets and the perfect place for an evening coffee or swim before bedtime. "Hope" offers what can no longer be built on the Muskoka Lakes, making this truly a one-of-a-kind property. The large and spacious main cottage is situated just a few feet from the lake, with over-sized picture windows making one feel like they are part of it all. With a designer's touch, the interior is a visual delight in a fresh, relaxing cottage style. Four bedrooms, hardwood floors, painted wooden walls and 2 fireplaces allow ample room for an extended family to enjoy this classic cottage. Windswept pines, flagstone walkways and lovely raised stone flowerbeds lead to a very large 1 1/2 storey boathouse. You will be delighted to find the fully self-contained over-sized boathouse complete with accommodations. Enjoy the updated 5-pc ensuite bathroom with jetted soaker tub, heated floors and a glass shower enclosure. With 2,300 sq. ft. in the lower boathouse, there is a tool shop, a dry slip for paddle boards and kayaks plus plenty of room for a gym, sauna or entertainment area. The L-shaped front dock is ideal for swimming or suntanning and the private swim cove is perfect for the younger ones. Hope Island has both shallow and deep water so that everyone can enjoy the waterfront. Only a 3 minute boat ride to Foote's Bay or a 6 minute boat ride to Port Sandfield, both shopping and golf are also close by. The perfect island retreat awaits you, not to be missed!
