Exceptional ! On a rare granite point along the Eastern shore of Six Mile Lake, Township of Georgian Bay, lies 235 Arts Lane; the very site where celebrated Canadian painter David Milne built his lakeside studio from 1933 to 1939, later writing, "If I am allowed to pick my heaven, thiswould be it." Milne's cabin has since been relocated to Bressette Homestead Park as the centrepiece of the Georgian Bay Historical Society's David Milne Legacy Project, but thewind-sculpted, sun-warmed granite shoreline that inspired one of Canada's foremost artists remains here; a superlative, storied point of rock found nowhere else on the lake. Spanning approximately 0.86 acres with 329 feet of Six Mile Lake frontage, this bespoke building site commands a rare westerly exposure, delivering stunning uninterrupted sunset views across expansive open water evening after evening. The groundwork for your custom retreat is already in place: an existing foundation marks a proven building envelope, a gravel driveway is already cut in from Arts Lane, an existing dock sits at the shore, an existing septic tile bed (size unknown, buyer to verify), and hydro service is available via an existing overhead line and utility pole; sparing you the cost and delay of servicing raw land from scratch. Zoned SR6 (Shoreline Residential, Six Mile Lake), the lot supports a bespoke single-detached residence plus accessory structures such as a boathouse, bunkie, garage or dock, subject to standard shoreline setbacks; buyer to confirm exact permissions with the Township. Six Mile Lake is prized for its clear, spring-fed water and quiet, granite-studded shoreline, just over an hourfrom the GTA. Properties on this shoreline rarely trade hands; this one carries the added weight of Canadian art history. Build your bespoke Muskoka escape on the same rock where a master once found his heaven.
