About This Property

Tucked quietly among the trees between two charming small towns, this lovingly restored retreat is set along the South River as it flows into beautiful Forest Lake, creating a truly special waterfront setting. This peaceful stretch of water is surrounded by northern forest, offering a strong sense of privacy and relaxation. Its calm, natural setting makes it perfect for swimming, paddling, and enjoying the waterfront lifestyle. This charming A-frame, originally built in the 1980s, is rich with character, from its exposed wooden beams and warm pine floors to its timeless vintage appeal. Inside, the open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area creates a welcoming space to gather, while multiple cozy sleeping areas offer comfort for family and guests alike. A newly renovated loft provides a peaceful escape with beautiful water views, and the quiet bedroom overlooking the ravine offers a serene connection to nature. Step out onto the spacious front deck, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee surrounded by nature, and take in the tranquil view of the water just across the quiet country road, your own waterfront only steps away. With desirable southern exposure, you will enjoy all-day sun while relaxing on the dock. Evenings are best spent by the fire, surrounded by trees and the sounds of the outdoors. Designed for year-round living, the home is well equipped with both a wood stove and propane wall furnace, with the wood stove keeping the cottage cozy and warm through all seasons. A charming three-season bunkie adds extra space and flexibility for guests. This incredible location is close to thousands of acres of crown land, with snowmobile and walking trails nearby, offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. The communities of Sundridge and South River are just a short drive away, providing easy access to all your daily supplies, groceries, and amenities.
