Home Details for 17 Whitefish Lake APL1582

Looking for adventure and not afraid of hard work? Are sunsets and solitude on your wish list? Take a look at this off-grid, water access (no road, access is by boat only) Algonquin Park leasehold on gorgeous Whitefish Lake. Opportunity knocks for a buyer looking for total privacy in a peaceful, directly west facing location, and willing & able to do the work to bring this rustic cabin back to life. Lease consists of a 1 room 385sqft cottage sitting mere feet from the shoreline, a 136 sqft dryland boathouse (convert to a bunkie?)& a pit privy outhouse. Site is level & densely treed. Waterfront features shallow, hard rippled sand with grassy areas along the shoreline. Views are outstanding with typical Algonquin shoreline to the north & south & no other leases within several hundred feet. Access is via Rock Lk Rd (8 km's in from Hwy 60 = no traffic sounds) then paddle/boat (max 20Hp) the Madawaska River to Whitefish & across to the east shore. Paddle the river the other direction into beautiful Rock Lk & beyond into the Park interior. Take advantage of the amenities at the nearby Rock Lk campground, hike the popular Booth Lk trail or jump off the old rail bridge at the mouth of the river for family fun. Traditional 1 rm cottage, wood structure with vaulted ceiling & plenty of windows. Old woodcookstove & very basic kitchen, propane fridge/lights, wood floors, small deck on the lake side. Rustic cottage feel & has potential with some sweat equity to be a sweet spot right next to the water. Buildings need structural work, likely roofs in the not too distant future, some rotted wood replaced, cleanup & some love. Site needs a pruning/trimming. Restore what's here or tear it down & start over. Keep it simple or add some comforts such as solar/running water/greywater system/a bunkie/etc. Lease in place thru 2038. Lease fees $4101/yr for the next 5 yrs + $500 service fee. Bring your dream, try an offer, & become an owner of one of only 300 Park leaseholds. (id:31684)
