House with a View and 45 Acres of Mixed Hardwood Forest

House with a view and 45 acres of mixed hardwood forest. Located near eastern Algonquin Park in Renfrew County. This property, which sits at approx 1500' elevation, has an impressive view looking north over the Bonnechere Valley (approx 100 km to the Laurentian Hills in Quebec) and is minutes away from Lake Clear and Golden Lake. Some of the local recreational activities include The Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Trail, Laurentian Valley Skating Trail, World Famous Whitewater Kayaking, snowmobiling, boating and fishing.

The house is situated in the middle of the acreage next to a well-maintained county highway and includes a small log barn (16'x20') and has approximately 1.5 acres of arable land (see map below). There are no neighbours within sight if privacy is a priority for you. Originally a 22'x32' cabin, it has been extensively renovated and enlarged into a 22'x 42' house and placed onto a new Insulated Concrete Foundation. The bulk of the exterior has been resided and the insulation upgraded with the remaining awaiting favourable weather. The interior has been entirely renovated throughout and has new plumbing and electrical. Porcelain tile floor in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom (virtually dog-proof). Hardwood floor in one bedroom, and laminate floor in the other. T&G cedar ceiling in the living room and throughout the kitchen, bathroom, and one bedroom. Weathered pine board accents reinforce the feel of country in this cozy home. Upstairs has wood heat. The basement is heated with propane and is semi-finished, with plenty of built-in storage, a man den and a workshop which can be easily turned into an additional bedroom. You can also enjoy the view from the 9'x9' screened-in gazebo on the attached deck. Fenced-off area for pets accessible directly from the house. This property is ideal for those who are looking for a place to retire in a tranquil natural setting, as a starter home or a homestead with lots of potential for a hobby farm or a setting to apply permaculture techniques. The forest has been modestly logged through the years but retains a good percentage of mother trees and is very accessible with trails throughout. It is also well stocked with foragable foods during the growing season or you can make maple syrup in the late winter. Property must be seen to be appreciated.
