2 Dad's Rest Island

About this home

A RARE PRIVATE ISLAND ESTATE WITH OWNED MAINLAND ACCESS - LAKE NIPISSING. Set on a fully private 2.2-acre island with almost 2000 sq. ft of living space, this exceptional property includes owned mainland boathouse and parking at Wade's Landing, just a 5-minute boat ride from shore. Few properties on this lake combine true island privacy with the convenience of owned mainland access, protected docking, and modernized infrastructure. For buyers considering Muskoka, this is a compelling alternative. Extensively renovated and offered fully furnished, this turnkey retreat features 4-bed, 2-bath, a primary ensuite, steel roof, newer windows & doors, and an expansive glass-railing waterfront deck. Wall-to-wall windows and sliding doors at both ends deliver near-360 panoramic views and showcase the property's renowned west-facing sunsets. Designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the property features a Culligan whole-home water treatment system with softener, reverse osmosis, UV filtration, and heated waterline, along with a heat pump, air conditioning, newer electric baseboards, and a wood-burning stove. A Briggs & Stratton generator with four 100-lb propane tanks supports uninterrupted power and is backed by a full 200-amp electrical service. The septic system was pumped in May 2025, and both boathouses were professionally shored up in May 2026. Nestled within a sheltered bay on Lake Nipissing's south shore, this is far more than a cottage-it's a rare opportunity to own a private island lifestyle without compromise.
