Situated on the south end of Eagle Lake, the island is untouched mixed forest with exceptional sunset views and privacy, and no other cottages directly in sight. There are at least two beautiful building sites that can be used for added accommodation and rental use if desired.
The property includes a 125-year-old log home, lovingly moved and restored with creativity and carefully positioned in the Southwest corner of the island for wonderful sunsets. The building is 1188 sq ft, with a 48 ft covered porch spanning the entire front facing the lake. The fully-insulated building is white pine logs 12 in thick, with cathedral ceilings in the kitchen, sunroom and upstairs bedroom, with wide plank pine floors and double-glazed doors and windows throughout. The central feature of the open plan living/dining room is a traditional stone fireplace. There is a Vermont woodstove in the sunroom, and a woodburning cookstove in the kitchen. Pine tables, chairs and desk/cabinet were custom made for the cottage, as were the cherrywood topped kitchen cabinets.
There is a solar system for lighting and music, and hot and cold water supplied by a 400 gallon water tower up the hill behind the cottage (pumped from the lake). Fridge and oven are propane-run. The building is wired for high-speed internet from a wide-area wifi tower across the lake, and is also connected to Bell via underwater phone cable. Mainland power can be added by connecting via underwater cables that service the shoreline properties opposite the boathouse.
Included in the listing are a 16’ wide-body aluminum workboat (30 hp) and a 14’ aluminum boat (6 hp), a wood/canvas canoe, Honda generator and two pumps, two chainsaws and essentially every tool needed. The boathouse is situated in a cove facing south with a path and deck leading up to the cottage.
Eagle Lake (yes there are Eagles) is 14 kms west of South River, Ontario – and 3 hours north of Toronto via Highways 400 and 11. The lake is divided North/South by a causeway, where a marina, boat ramp and year-round country store are located. The Island is on the far side of the lake from Mikisew Provincial Park, several small uninhabited islands, and a long stretch of largely undeveloped shoreline. Groomed snowmobile trails run adjacent to the north tip of the island, connected to the provincial trail network.
