Escape to this peaceful, low-maintenance lakeside retreat on the clean, non-motorize waters of Burdock Lake, where the absence of motorboats ensures a truly serene and undisturbed setting. Tucked among mature pines in the Haliburton Highland, this charming 3-season, 2-bedroom cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy quiet waterfront living. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property provides peace of mind with a newly installed driveway, and new stairs leading down to the lake. Effortlessly extend you season - and enjoy winter getaways - with a WETT-certified woodstove, baseboard heating throughout, and both a traditional and electric powered Cinderella incinerating toilet. With no grass to maintain, your time can be spent where it matters most - relaxing on the deck, enjoying summer breezes, and listening to the morning songbirds. The weed-free, deep-water frontage is a standout feature, offering over 20 feet of depth off the dock, perfect for swimming, paddling, and fishing for trout and bass right from your own shoreline. An ideal starter cottage and a rare find in the sought-after region, this property delivers tranquility, convenience, and exceptional value-your perfect escape to lakeside living.
