Welcome to one of the most desirable lakes in Minden - Horseshoe Lake. Nestled in a protected bay on this pristine 2-lake chain, this seasonal lakefront cottage offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern updates. Imagine waking up in the morning, sipping your coffee, and enjoying the calm, mirror-like reflection on the lake - pure cottage country bliss. Set on a private 1.67-acre lot with level access to the water, this family compound has room for everyone. The main cottage features four bedrooms plus a cozy sleeping loft, and there's even a bunkie that sleeps four - ideal for hosting extended family or friends. The spacious family kitchen is designed for gatherings, with custom pine cabinetry and plenty of room to entertain. Enjoy quiet moments or lively conversations in the custom-built screened room (2010) with its soaring vaulted ceilings, or step through the adjoining primary bedroom's sliding doors to your own private deck overlooking the forest. The spring-fed stream trickling through the north end of the property adds a touch of natural serenity, while two storage sheds offer space for all your outdoor gear and lake toys. Located just steps from the renowned Minden White Water Preserve and surrounded by top-rated restaurants, community events, and the best of the Haliburton Highlands - this is a lakeside lifestyle worth experiencing.
