South Bay’s calm, clear waters surround “Cow Island” (2 Island 880), a soothing companion to its 6.2 acres cloaked in evergreen and hardwood forest. Nestled within the trees, a three-bedroom cottage delivers views over the island’s western shoreline and deep-water harbor. The sleeping quarters comfortably accommodate eight in a master suite on the south side, a two-bedroom guest wing to the north, and a second-floor loft. Light floods the open central floorplan courtesy of a glass-walled great room, with a roof soaring 1.5 stories. Curvilinear decking wraps the front and back facades, accentuating the bond between living space and nature. Built for year-round use, it’s a perfect perch for barbecuing, sunning, and watching the seasons change. The property also includes a large, dry boathouse/workshop that connects to a U-shaped dock and several outbuildings. With Township approval, one or two additional guest cabins are a likely possibility due to the island’s size.
Cottagers of all ages will find navigating Cow Island easily manageable, thanks to landscape free of dramatic elevation changes or obstructive rock outcroppings. An extensive network of trails traverses the island’s woodlands, providing passage to its 2,411 feet of shoreline dotted with serene swimming areas as well as access points for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Open water for further exploration and local marinas are only a short boat ride away. Located in the popular Honey Harbour area of Georgian Bay’s vibrant cottage community, this picturesque hideaway is simultaneously sheltered and within easy reach of mainland amenities, ranging from provisioning and fine dining to golf on Muskoka’s courses. With its protected locale and spacious cottage, Cow Island would make a convenient island base for yachters, or an ideal private compound for extended family retreats through the generations.
