Some lakes I know because I'm a Realtor. Chandos Lake is one I knew long before real estate ever entered the picture. So many of my summer memories are tied to this lake.

Chandos Beach is where I learned to swim. I spent summers here fishing with my dad and brothers, renting cottages over the years, bachelorette parties, BBQs, and the Fireworks! The kind of memories you don't realize are special until you get older. Gosh! So many memories have been made on this lake, and we're still making more. 

Growing up in North Kawartha, lakes like Chandos weren't somewhere we went for a week of vacation - they were simply part of life. And all these years later, I get to experience Chandos in a completely different way.

I've had the opportunity to sell several cottages and waterfront properties on Chandos Lake, and one of the things I love about this lake is how different every property can be. Different bays, different shorelines, different views, different depths and exposures - and every cottage seems to have its own story.

That local knowledge matters when you're looking at Chandos Lake real estate. 

Buying a cottage isn't just about the number of bedrooms or what the listing photos look like. It's understanding the lake, the waterfront, the road, the location and how you actually want to use the property.

For me, being able to work on the same lake where I learned to swim, fished with my family and spent so many summers growing up is pretty special.

And getting to introduce someone else to a place that might eventually hold the same kind of memories for their family? That's one of the best parts of what I do.

If you're searching for a cottage or waterfront property on Chandos Lake, in Apsley or anywhere in North Kawartham, I'd be happy to help you find the right piece of it.
