Sunbeam Island on Lake Joseph Revisted
Last year I photographed Sunbeam Island or so I thought.
It actually turned out to be Sullivan Island not Sunbeam. My coordinates were slightly off kilter and the real estate agent that had it listed sent me a little reminder. So I navigated my way up Lake Joe and made sure I got it right this time. Sunbeam is on the market and can be had for a mere $1.645M reduced from $1.99M. I don’t see any fire sales on Muskoka real estate these days.

It is amazing, Ed, that people buy these places. Mind you, they rent them out a lot, to people who don’t have a clue. I can’t imagine ferrying in supplies this way, but I am getting old!
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures of Lake Muskoka. I live far away from it but have lots of great memories of boating in Ontario and your site, your beautiful photography and nostalgic commentary are really close to my heart. Thanks so much.
This is a wonderful retreat…couldn’t afford it but I would actually love to stay there…wouldn’t mind the carting at all…I would make sure once finished unloading a nice beverage (glass of wine) would be waiting…and I’m slightly past getting old :0) ….
Cheers
If you own a piece of mainland with a garage and boathouse within a mile of your island all of the “carting” is really not a huge headache. especially after doing it for 100 plus years of family living on lake Joseph. island living isn’t for everyone but those who are accustomed couldn’t live any other way. i’ll be sipping cocktails on sunbeam soon.
