The "Hamptons of the North" – Only 1 Hour from Toronto.
Escape to Shanty Bay’s most exclusive private residence. Located on the prestigious North Shore of Kempenfelt Bay, this 6,800+ sq. ft. estate offers the luxury of Muskoka without the punishing 3-hour drive. After owning a cottage on Lake Muskoka, we sought a location that allowed us to spend more time enjoying weekends instead of being stuck in traffic. We’ve found the perfect balance of nature, convenience, and accessibility with this cottage.
LIMITED SUMMER RELEASE: We are releasing our private family residence for just 5 exclusive weeks this July and August. Experience the only private Infinity Edge pool on the North Shore.
