EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION 

Outdoors, you will find it very easy to access the waterfront and fire pit as the property slopes gently to a flat area near the water. A lower deck gives you access to ample seating and a porch swing where you can enjoy the beauty of Belmont Lake and the islands that dot it. The 30 ft dock system offers additional seating, a swim ladder, and bumpers to protect your watercraft. The fire pit allows views of the lake with custom log benches and additional Muskoka chairs for your fireside enjoyment. A large hammock and homemade swing are positioned perfectly to give you a perfect view of the lake.

Kayaks and a canoe are stored handily on a large rack so you may access them easily for your on-the-water adventures. Access to the water (and the anchored, large floating mat) may be found from the dock ladder or from the shallow, walk-in entry near the beautiful blue boathouse by the water.

Whether it’s on land, or in the water, “Belmont Lake Life” awaits.
