Luxury Lake Muskoka Cottage | Sandy Bay Cottage

Introducing the Sandy Bay Cottage, a luxurious modern farmhouse nestled on the shores of Lake Muskoka, designed by Foreshew Design Associates. Set on the historic grounds of the former Bangor Lodge Resort, this project began in 2019 after the lots were severed and sold due to a fire, and it reached completion in 2023. This exclusive waterfront retreat combines contemporary design with the rich history of its site.
The Sandy Bay Cottage is designed with unparalleled amenities: an oversized garage, a massive detached garage, a pavilion featuring a full sports court, and a luxurious boathouse, offering direct access to the scenic lake. This residence offers both elegance and practicality, with a seamless connection to its natural surroundings.
With expansive windows, open-concept spaces, and high-end finishes, this property embraces natural light and panoramic lake views to create a tranquil, refined atmosphere. Every detail, from its modern farmhouse aesthetic to sustainable materials, reflects Foreshew Design Associates’ dedication to luxury and craftsmanship.
Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, cottage lover, or envisioning a custom retreat of your own, this project overview of the Sandy Bay Cottage with Principal Designer Alex Foreshew showcases the finest in luxury living.
All architectural details in this video were designed by the Project Designers at Foreshew Design Associates.

Im going this a solid 11 out of 10. Cant see a single thing i dislike, the exterior is stunning and the interior spaces are homely and warm despite the huge size. You guys smashed this out of the park. i would love to have seen more of the outbuilding

[@foreshewda]

Appreciate the warm words! We're very happy with how it turned out. We understand your want to see more of the outbuildings - don't worry! We will be doing features on those next summer once more of the landscaping grows in around them. Thanks again for the comment!

[@jayasea4027]

@foreshewda looking forwards to that
