Cottage #430

NEWLY LISTED - November 2019

What an extraordinary and rare opportunity this cottage property provides for those seeking amazing privacy in the heart of north Ontario cottage country!

This cozy 700 sq. ft. log cottage is located on 70 acres of land (yes, you read that correctly!) with 1,000 feet of waterfrontage on tranquil Foote Lake. The property was originally owned by a local resident and was a maple syrup farm for the past 40 years.

The current owners wanted to turn the rustic cabin into a couple’s retreat. They chose fun eclectic décor to create a romantic ambiance, from the king-sized bed in the loft bedroom to the baroque antique dining table for two, sprinkled with strings of interior and exterior soft lighting. But they also wanted to supply all the modern conveniences of home, so they purchased all new high end brands in the apartment sized kitchen appliances, a top of the line combo washer/dryer and a 50” flat screen TV for movie watching after dinner in front of the propane fireplace.

But it is the GREAT outdoors that is the pièce de résistance at this property. With 70 acres of private land, you can even let your family pet outdoors, unleashed, never having to worry about cars or disturbing neighbours. Enjoy endless private trails for walking and exploring while taking in all of nature’s beauty including an abundance of tame wildlife.

A short walk down from the cottage, on your own private country road, is an expansive cleared opening out to the lake complete with a large dock, lakeside deck and a stretch of shallow sandy entrance at the water’s edge. For avid anglers, the fishing here is great and with a canoe and kayaks at your disposal, be sure to get out onto the water and explore the lake.

For a short day trip, head into Huntsville for casual and fine dining with unique shops or visit the famous Screaming Head’s attraction just outside of Burk’s Falls.

Whether you spend your days on the water or exploring the towns/villages and surrounding landmarks, end your days with a BBQ dinner back at the cottage, dine outdoors on either the front or back patio and then roast marshmallows at the fire pit, listening to the haunting call of the loons as the sky fills up with endless stars. Life is good!
