Homestead with Airstrip

Homestead  with airstrip!

This  delightful homestead in the heart of Northwestern Ontario’s hunting and fishing country  could be yours!  Located 1-1/2 hours west of Thunder Bay, enjoy the quiet of a small, close knit community, yet with all amenities not far away.  An active forest industry provides opportunities for local employment,  or immerse yourself  in all this  piece has to offer with 61.7 acres: An 1,150’ private grass airstrip with room on the property to extend to 2,400’, and a 36’x 40’ hangar.  There is a large gravel pad partially finished for a prospective shop site. Lakes and woods with hiking/ biking trails are  ready to hand.  A 14’x 21’ greenhouse and enormous garden produce bountifully for those who love to grow food, and there are new grape, apple tree, and berry starts. An insulated, year round poultry barn and runs make it easy to keep your flock happy and healthy all year round. The drilled well has excellent water, and a large storage shed wired for backup power, as well as a woodshed, complete the setup outside.

Come inside and you’ll find a freshly renovated, 2,400 sq ft home on two levels with  three bedrooms plus a three-piece ensuite, two other bathrooms, and an additional large loft with full length storage closets and enough room to use as a bonus room or rec room.  A deck in the shade and a deck in the sun that doubles as a carport adds to the living space. A  6 x 12’ walk-in cold room with refrigeration and water cooled floor give year round capacity to keep all that garden produce fresh! Barn wood accents  and a solid Maple butcher block centre piece in the kitchen give this home a solid, authentic feel.

Stay warm in the winter with 3 ways to heat:  propane furnace, Blaze King wood stove, and electric hydronic in-floor heating. Either the furnace or the wood stove can be stand-alone heat sources, and the basement level stays cool on the hot summer days.

Highlights include:

• Local elementary school
• School bus ( elementary and high school ) runs by the property
• Low land taxes!
• Unincorporated township
• Large propane tank ( owned, not leased) new in 2023
• 287 L electric water heater new in 2019
• Kitchen plumbed and wired for propane or electric range
• Kitchen range, fridge, dishwasher, and laundry set included
• This is lake country- if you like to boat or fish it is paradise!

This place has to be experienced to be appreciated; don’t miss the opportunity to call it home!
