Discover the perfect lakeside retreat in the sought-after Birch Bay community on the northwest shores of Gull Lake, a premier recreational destination in Central Alberta. Nestled midway between Edmonton and Calgary, this peaceful, family-friendly subdivision offers private beach access, scenic parks, walking trails, a community boat launch, and a welcoming atmosphere ideal for seasonal cabin living or year-round enjoyment. This charming, turn-key 4 season cottage has been thoughtfully renovated and upgraded since 2018, blending rustic charm with modern comforts (full details available in supplements). The open-concept main floor features soaring beamed ceilings, abundant natural light from skylights, a spacious living/dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen ready for family gatherings and entertaining. Accommodations include a cozy main-floor bedroom with a queen-sized bottom bunk and single top bunk, plus a convenient 3-piece bathroom.
