SECONDARY STRUCTURES !
.
A uniquely beautiful well laid out property, with lots of history. For those wishing a nice tidy consistent income, to one side of the property you also have a completely self contained original summer cottage with its own sandy warm water access for kiddies plus dock and campfire area, and driveway. Typically this investment is fully booked from June till September with well-screened clientele in very limited numbers for occupancy to maintain quiet. Possibly the income will assist the new owner with an early transition from the city? All this separated from the main dwelling by a tasteful natural wood lattice fence and an abundance of very tall and dense trees. Or this cottage can serve as overflow accommodation for just close friends and relatives. Maybe even a studio for hobbies, or the kids private domain, at any age.....or simply alone time to contemplate lifes vicissitudes.
.
For the handyperson you also have a workshop with its own hydro panel, measuring approx 22ft x 22ft with garage door for larger projects like building of flowering vine trellis', and an abundance of windows. This building initially was a another 2 bedroom summer cottage (2) total, all the plumbing was simply capped off.

At the shoreline and dock, a very substantial building also with hydro and concrete floor used as a change house for before and after a swim. A great structure as a beginning for a sauna or hot tub.

Approximately 1200 s.f. of out buildings in addition to the main stone dwelling, all with hydro. Property supplied with 200 amp underground service with circuit breaker panel. Survey available showing all buildings. Property taxes just $3291.42

**A must see, and with possibilities, as both dwellings could easily be rented together to hand chosen summer folk, or a B&B...if you are contemplating a transitional scenario with a personal future in mind at the spectacular lakeside.
