Tax Note: HST may be applicable to the sale price depending on the purchaser's intended use and the property's historical tax status. Prospective buyers are encouraged to consult with a tax professional.
Property Details & Infrastructure
The island is meticulously developed to support both private family use and boutique hospitality. Central to the compound is a 20’ x 30’ high-peak gathering tent used for dining and living, adjacent to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a wood-fired sauna.
Accommodation infrastructure includes:
6 Sleeping Structures: 3 prospector tents, 3 A-frame cabins, and 1 tiny cabin.
Hygiene Facilities: 5 outhouses with sinks and a dedicated outdoor shower building with on-demand propane hot water.
Utilities: Solar-powered lake water delivery system and individual micro-solar systems serving all main tents, kitchens, and sleeping sites.
Land and Water
The 5-acre property features a system of natural log-edged trails connecting the six private sleeping sites, each positioned steps from the shoreline. Marine infrastructure consists of three large removable aluminum docks and three wooden waterfront activity decks. The shoreline includes a sandy beach and deep-water access suitable for the included 28’ pontoon boat (115hp Mercury) and 16’ fishing boat (60hp Mercury).
Access and Utilities
Farr Island is entirely off-grid, utilizing solar power and greywater disposal systems. It is located within the municipality of Temiskaming Shores and is zoned Rural (RU), which permits recreational dwellings, camping, and tourist commercial use. Annual property taxes are approximately $1,200.
Lifestyle and Value
Operating recently as a successful glamping resort, Farr Island is offered as a turnkey opportunity. The sale includes all furnishings, linens, a Wallenstein wood chipper, kayaks, canoes, and the "Farr Island Treasure Hunt" game equipment. Whether continued as an income-producing venture for weddings and retreats or maintained as a high-end private family compound, the island offers a rare level of readiness and versatility in the Temagami region.
