Fishing is one of the many attractions with trophy muskie, pickerel,
lake trout and bass growing
and hiding in different lakes. Winter offers miles of snowmobiling,
skiing or lounging at the comfort of a fire in your own cottage
or at the many resorts. This, all within 30 minutes of Peterborough
and 2 hours of Toronto.
With the strong economy and higher number of retirees, demand for
a cottage is and has been strong. As the population ages and extended
families lean toward family retreats, it is anticipated that demand
for waterfront property will increase even more. As an old sage
said, they are not making any more lakes. We have as much supply
as we are going to have.
Some of the basic questions that potential cottagers should ask
themselves are: location, type
of boating, swimming, view/outlook, access, rugged remote or urban,
fish species, style and construction. Cottages, like most structures,
can be altered to accommodate your personal wants, but the lake
and view cannot be changed. Stone fireplaces can be added, but changing
the view from eastern sunrise to western sunset cannot be accommodated.
Meet a knowledgeable local Realtor, search the web, stay at a local
resort or B & B, enjoy the community and explore the local features,
and then become a “Cottager”.
