Once in a while a true gem comes along that makes one look twice! This property is at the far west end of the lake, in White Trout Bay, where very few boats ever go. 193 feet of shoreline seems pretty decent for privacy, BUT it doesn't stop there! There's CROWN LAND on BOTH sides of this property AND across the lake. PRIVACY is a key feature in this PRIME LOCATION! The dwelling is inviting, cosy and exudes warmth with its wood finishes. It needs a bit of renovative creativity and updating to suit your own style & vibe, but note the full basement with a furnace and ductwork throughout. There's a heated waterline and excellent water purification system. The sundeck is huge. Good dock system. Approved septic system. Shore Road Allowance is closed for which there is a survey. The view in the bay is quite impressively tranquil in a quiet corner of a large lake system. Convenient 4-season, municipal road. There's a vast network of trails on crown land nearby for snowmobile, ATV and hiking or snowshoe enthusiasts. Look at a map that shows the crown land and see why this one is a winner! (id:53086)

Three generations have loved this property on Kawagama Lake. The original owner/builders began their lake adventure by camping on the vacant lot, all the while dreaming of their first cottage. From the beginning the site was special to them with its far reaching views and clean rocky shoreline. The sun kissed southern exposure was ideal for a growing family who wanted to spend as much time as possible by the waters edge. They perched the cottage as close as possible to the lake and although the site is dramatic it is a surprisingly easy walk to the cottage from the lake. Inside you'll find a bright, welcoming space with easy access to the outdoor living areas and fabulous views from all the principal rooms. You can choose to relax on the decks off the main level or soak up the sun on the dock or the other lakeside deck. This family has enjoyed all types of water sports, fishing and of course swimming over the years. With the generous dock and multiple sitting areas there's space for everyone. One of the favourite spots is the lakeside deck. It sits adjacent to the fire pit that's perched on a rock outcrop - absolutely unobstructed star gazing! The interior features an open layout living/dining/kitchen area, 3 compact bedrooms and a 3pc bath. The bathroom is served by a composting toilet and grey water system that works exceptionally well. You would never know there wasn't a full septic system. The components of the system were reinspected in 2022. This location on Kawagama Lake offers an easy portage into the Jeanne Lakes as well as boat access into Bear Lake and Kimball Lake. There are vast pockets of Crown land to explore, just a paddle away. Affordable and move in ready, it's time to start your family's lake adventure. (id:53086)
