"Rare offering" and "rare opportunity" are words sometimes over used in real estate advertising, but for this property they are the perfect description. The property being offered for sale consists of 6+ acres with 759 feet of sandy lakefront PLUS an additional 300 acres of adjoining property. It's all part of an old homestead that includes the original cabin situated on the shores of Wolkin Lake, just minutes from the Village of Dorset. There are only a handful of cottages on Wolfkin Lake and they are all located at one end of the lake. This property sits all by itself at the other end of the lake totally surrounded by forested privacy. The land around the cabin is almost level to the lake with a beautiful view across the lake. This is an off-grid property with the perfect southern exposure and sufficient cleared area to make solar power an easy option. At present a portable generator allows for limited lighting and there are propane appliances. There is an old gravity-fed water system in place. The cabin itself is usable and has a lot of charm if you love old buildings, but it does need TLC. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor plus an open living/dining area. There is a "bathroom" of sorts but no septic system. The second floor has another separate bedroom and a large open sleeping space. An inviting covered verandah runs the width of the building facing the lake.

Very inviting family friendly 3 bedroom cottage on picturesque Loon Bay on Kawagama Lake. A good portion of the bay is Crown land, as is the property to the rear of the cottage. ATV and snowmobile trails are nearby. Loon Bay is a hidden gem that's large enough for tubing or water skiing but is protected from rough water. The cottage has had many upgrades and improvements. The main floor features a spacious open concept dining/kitchen area leading to a sunken living room complete with fireplace. Several sets of sliding doors open onto a generous lakeside deck. There is one bedroom and a full bath on this level plus laundry facilities. The upper level houses an additional bedroom plus the primary bedroom. The primary bedroom overlooks the lake and has a 2 pc ensuite. The lakefront area is pure fun with a slide for the kids, lots of dock space and a large decked area to enjoy the view. There is good water depth for jumping and diving and the shoreline is very clean. You can enjoy sun on the dock for almost the entire day. A dryland boathouse has been repurposed into a family living space where the kids can play games or the entire family can relax together. A single detached garage has a loft above for extra sleeping and storage space. The cottagers on this bay treasure their privacy so tackling a winding, bumpy cottage road doesn't slow them down a bit and they wouldn't change it. It's only 1.5 km in length but you need the clearance and AWD of an SUV. However, there is potential for an easier route to the cottage that could be developed. You're only 10 minutes from the Village of Dorset and because vehicles can't speed it's safe for kids and pets. The road is privately maintained during the winter months and there is parking at the top of the driveway for the winter season. The cottage is fully winterized. (id:57975)
