Welcome to 1951 Boldt Lane, Minden Hills - a truly private waterfront escape offering 420 feet of frontage on the beautiful Burnt River. Set on approximately 1.6 acres of level land at the very end of a quiet road, this property is the perfect opportunity for those looking to unplug, slow down, and enjoy cottage life in its most peaceful and natural form. Tucked away near the Three Sisters Falls and close to the town of Kinmount, this off-grid retreat features a super cool rustic 1980s two-storey log cabin set on a block foundation. Full of character and classic cottage charm, the cabin offers a simple and functional main floor layout with a foyer, living area, dining space, and kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find an open-concept sleeping area with access to a balcony overlooking the surrounding natural beauty. The property also features a metal roof, stairs leading down toward the river, and a separate outbuilding offering additional storage along with a sauna - adding to the peaceful retreat-style feel. Beautiful, private, and full of potential, this is a property for buyers who appreciate the charm and simplicity of a true off-grid cottage experience. With generous waterfront, level land, and a quiet setting along the Burnt River, this is a special place to reconnect with nature, spend time by the water, and enjoy all that Minden Hills has to offer. Escape the busyness of everyday life and create your own private getaway in one of Haliburton County's most scenic areas.
