Listing Description

Breathtaking 27-acres nestled in the rolling landscape of the Canadian Shield, featuring majestic old-growth White Pine and hardwood trees bordered by 3 serene ponds, each adorned with white and yellow water lilies that show their beauty in the summer. 2 cabins grace this peaceful retreat: a large cabin designed for artistic inspiration and a newly-built cabin with floor-to-ceiling views of a picturesque pond, where beavers can be seen busily maintaining their dam and lodge. The area also attracts visits from an otter family. Listen to a symphony of resident bullfrogs harmonizing with summer warblers in the towering pines around the cabin. Thousands of sapling White Pine, White Birch, and Oak trees have been planted throughout. Mosses and lichen cover the granite ridges, creating a natural tapestry that invites peaceful contemplation or long, walks through the rolling hills. A stand of 30-foot tall Red Pines lines the road along the 3rd pond offering privacy. The new cabin includes a spacious, fully screened sitting area, perfect for meals or enjoying the view. Equipped with a refrigerator, toaster, and microwave, the cabin is ready for use with the addition of a generator or inverter for power. For those with a vision for development, there are 2, possibly 3, potential severances available, offering the promise of near-total privacy for each future home, presenting a unique opportunity. Only a 3 minute drive to the beautiful public access to Fifth Depot Lake for boating, swimming, fishing, picnics. Rare to find such a stunning lot just 15 min. from Tamworth with essential amenities and only 40 minutes from Highway 401, making it far more accessible than many Canadian Shield properties further north. The drive to the property along the main road is one of the most scenic in Ontario, with a series of ponds brimming with white water lilies, culminating in the ponds on this enchanting estate. Please do not enter the property unless accompanied by your agent.
