Listing Description

Welcome to a nature lover's paradise on the pristine southern shore of Forest Lake. The lot sits across from the mouth of South River that is fed from Round Lake in Algonquin Park. Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven canoed past this spot many times, and were inspired by the beauty. It's a quick, direct route by car (only ten minutes from Hwy 11 and 2.5 hours from Toronto), yet there's peaceful seclusion because of the 250 meter deeded access private road. This well-treed hilled parcel has sunrise exposure, and provides spectacular views year-round. The lot slopes towards the water, allowing for a walk-out basement, and hydro is conveniently at the lot line. It also has opportunity for crystal clean well water. The lake is about 20% Crown Land and offers great fishing for the outdoor enthusiast. The water-front is the perfect spot to host water recreation. There are scattered rocks and a sandy bottom that slopes out to about a 12 foot depth. It's an 8 minute drive to the resort villages of Sundridge and South River. They have everything from groceries and hardware to cafes and golfing. There is easy access to Near North Snow Drifters snowmobile and ATV trails. Imagine sitting on your new porch and watching the daily activities of the local deer, wild turkey, beaver, mink, and loon families. It's something that can only be experienced on a quiet, cottage lake like this one!
