Muskoka Store Location – Prime Highway 11 Commercial Land Assembly

Gravenhurst – the Gateway to Muskoka

An outstanding 9.51-acre commercial land assembly comprised of four contiguous parcels, offered as a single package or potentially divisible. Featuring nearly 2,000 feet of high-exposure frontage on northbound Highway 11, this site sits just south of the Town of Gravenhurst and backs onto Beaver Ridge Road — placing it at the true southern gateway into Muskoka.

Steeped in local history, this was the original home of The Muskoka Store, a beloved retail destination known province-wide. Zoned C3 – Highway Commercial/Retail, the property supports a wide range of permitted uses and presents an extraordinary opportunity for developers, investors, or owner-operators seeking a high-visibility, high-traffic location with strong consumer recognition.

Ideal for:

• Boat, RV, ATV, and power equipment showrooms

• Custom and prefab home builders (model displays, sales centres)

• Quick-service restaurants, drive-thrus, cafés

• Gas stations, EV charging stations, highway service centres

• Contractor depots, garden centres, or building supply yards

• Tourism retail, local craft markets, or lifestyle brands

• Hotel, motel, or short-term lodging

• Self-storage, winter vehicle/boat storage

• Branded national chains or multi-pad commercial developments

The site benefits from steady year-round traffic, with peak volumes exceeding 41,000 vehicles/day in summer. Its flat, high-and-dry terrain offers development-ready conditions, and existing infrastructure includes hydro, private well/septic, and multiple entrance points. Just minutes from the Beiers Road interchange and a short drive to Muskoka Wharf, downtown Gravenhurst, and surrounding lakes, the location offers excellent regional connectivity.

This property combines scale, frontage, and Muskoka branding in a way that few others can. Whether as a flagship commercial development or a strategic hold, this is a rare opportunity in one of Ontario’s most recognized and desirable recreational markets.

Holding offers August 12th. Contact listing agents for full due diligence package, zoning details, surveys, and site tours.
