Property Description
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.

Resting just off the South-Eastern shores of Lake Nipissing, in the Nipissing Beach area sits this stunning property known as Brills Island. Sitting at just over 17ac, there is plenty of space to roam the historic paths. From the southern cove, harbouring a 200ft natural sand beach, to the exposed Canadian Shield on Sunset point and through to the centre of the island where there sits a 1150sq.ft main cottage and a 450sq.ft bunkie with attached shop, this island retreat has plenty of room to find your inner peace. The focal point of the main cottage is the large common / living room with vaulted ceilings and centred by a wood burning fireplace. The dining room sits just off the kitchen, flanked by the 2 main floor bedrooms and "ladder access" to the 3rd, loft bedroom. Oversized windows in all the principal rooms bring plenty of natural light into the cottage. Even though there is a rustic comfort running throughout the entirety of the cottage, there are signs that this property has been well managed over the years - a quality steel roof, the full septic system, well constructed gazebo and comfortable deck space to name a few. The secondary building houses the maintenance shop as well as a main floor bedroom and a relaxing lounge area on the 2nd floor for extended family or guests. Throughout the property there are other out-buildings including a beachfront sauna, dock shed and 2 out houses. Lake Nipissing is well known for amazing fishing and extended boating. Low taxes due to a designation as a Managed Forest by the Ministry of the Environment. Accessing this boat access property is by way of your own deeded landing area, located just a stone's throw from the island. Located 30 minutes from North Bay & 3 hours from the north end of Toronto, Brills Island is really something to be seen to be appreciated - for the history that lies there, what it is now and what it could be to your family.
