A ready-to-go building lot on Lake Bernard with a trailer, dock, shed, and power already on site. Stay while you build.
A Lake Bernard Lot That's Ready From Day One
This isn't a raw piece of bush you'll spend years clearing before you can enjoy it. The lot at 1388 South Lake Bernard Road is cleared, has power already installed on site, and comes with a trailer, a 50-foot dock with a platform, and a shed. You can start using it the day you close — and build your cottage or home on your own timeline while you're already enjoying the lake.
With 69 feet of direct waterfront and western exposure, you get afternoon and evening sun on the water. Zoned Shoreline Residential, it's ready for your home or cottage build.
Stay While You Build
The 30-foot trailer on site has a master bedroom, bunk beds, a kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and air conditioning, with a large deck off the front. It's a comfortable base for weekends on the lake or for staying on site while you plan and build. A pump house draws water from the lake, and there's power down at the beach as well.
Everything currently on the property is included — the trailer, shed, gazebo, bunk house, and dock. You're not starting from scratch.
69 Feet of Lake Bernard Waterfront
Lake Bernard is one of the deeper, cleaner lakes in the Almaguin Highlands — popular for swimming, boating, and fishing without the heavy boat traffic you'll find on some of the bigger Muskoka lakes. The shoreline here is clean, the water access is direct, and the dock is already in place — 50 feet with a platform at the end.
Western exposure means the sun is on the water from midday right through to sunset. Part of the waterfront directly in front of the lot is environmentally protected, so no boathouse on this one, but the dock and swimming access are excellent.
Location — Close to Sundridge, Huntsville, and North Bay
The property is accessed year-round by municipal road. From Highway 124 through Sundridge, turn right onto Union Street, left onto Forest Lake Road, right onto Lakeshore, and left onto Lake Bernard Road. About 5 km up, at the top of the hill, you'll see the signs for 1388.
Sundridge is a short drive for groceries, gas, and everyday errands. Huntsville is within easy reach for shopping, dining, and weekend outings. North Bay is about 45 minutes for the hospital, big-box shopping, and services. You get lake life without giving up convenience.

About Lake Bernard and the Sundridge Area
Lake Bernard is one of the largest and deepest lakes in the Almaguin Highlands, known for its clean water, gradual drop-off, and good fishing. The gradual entry makes it ideal for both swimming and boating, and it has a quieter feel than the busier lakes further south in Muskoka. It's a popular choice for families and cottagers who want real lake life without the crowds and premium pricing that come with the bigger resort lakes.
Sundridge is the nearest town, with grocery stores, gas, an LCBO, a Home Hardware Building Centre, multiple veterinary clinics, restaurants, and multiple public beaches on the lake. Just up the road, the village of South River adds to the mix with Copperhead Distillery and some of the best Chinese food in the area.
The location is a best-of-both-worlds situation. Huntsville is an easy drive south and North Bay is about 45 minutes north — and you're snugly in between. Both offer dining, entertainment, family activities, and waterfront of their own to explore. Whether it's a weekend outing to Huntsville's downtown or a trip to North Bay for the hospital, big-box shopping, and services, you're never far from what you need while still coming home to a quiet lake at the end of the day.
Waterfront lots on Lake Bernard don't come up often, and when they do they tend to move. Buyers looking at Lake Bernard waterfront are typically comparing it to lakes in Muskoka and finding significantly more value — less boat traffic and lower price points for direct waterfront. For buyers relocating from southern Ontario or looking for a cottage lot within a few hours of the GTA, the Sundridge and Almaguin Highlands area is worth a serious look.
