Welcome to 116 Fire Route 68 on beautiful West Twin Lake, where four-season comfort meets classic cottage living. This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home or cottage is perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking north-west views and some of the most spectacular sunsets you'll find. Elevated above the shoreline, the property offers a panoramic view across the lake while providing a spacious, level yard that's perfect for family games, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors. The sandy, shallow waterfront is ideal for swimming, wading, and enjoying long summer days on the water. A wrap-around deck along the west and lakeside of the home creates the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, dine outdoors, or watch the sun disappear over the lake each evening. Inside, the cottage features a welcoming layout with three bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious living room where large windows keep the lake as the focal point. The lower level provides excellent storage for all your seasonal gear, water toys, and outdoor equipment, while the walkout basement offers convenient access to the front yard. West Twin Lake is a peaceful, family-friendly lake known for its clean water, excellent swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and boating. Its quieter atmosphere makes it an ideal escape for those looking to unwind while still enjoying everything waterfront living has to offer. Located just 15 minutes from Havelock for groceries, restaurants, and everyday amenities, approximately 45 minutes from Peterborough, and about 2 hours from the GTA, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful lakeside living and convenient access for weekend getaways or year-round enjoyment.
