About This Property

A Peaceful Waterfront Retreat in South Algonquin. Welcome to Cross Lake (Lyell Lake), a peaceful waterfront setting just 30 mins from Algonquin Park. Tucked in a calm, private bay, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true quiet & natural beauty. Offered for the first time in over 40 years, this exceptional 4.7-acre property features over 1000' of pristine shoreline, providing outstanding privacy and an unspoiled natural setting. The well-maintained Pan-Abode cottage showcases classic western cedar construction and bright, open-concept layout with large windows that capture serene lake views and natural light. The cottage offers 3 bedrooms, 4pc bathroom, and convenient laundry, comfortably accommodating family and guests. A wood-insert fireplace creates a warm, inviting focal point, complemented by an efficient wood-burning furnace for extended seasonal or year-round use, along with baseboard heating in the bathroom and basement. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a spacious wrap-around deck and screened-in gazebo overlooking the lake, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. At the water's edge, a newer dock (2022) provides ample space for swimming, boating, & enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The gentle shoreline allows for easy water access and is well-suited for children, as well as launching canoes and kayaks. Additional features include a separate bunkie offering extra sleeping space for guests, & large outbuilding (approx. 24' x 16') that can be used for storage, a workshop, or recreational space. A private trail leads from the property to Long Lake, offering further opportunities for paddling & exploration, as well as access to a scenic bluff, an ideal spot to take in sunset views. Much of Lyell Lake, along with nearby Long & Coghlan Lakes, is bordered by Crown land, ensuring the preservation of the area's natural beauty, privacy & unspoiled character. Rare opportunity to own an exceptional waterfront retreat in the heart of South Algonquin!
