An exceptional opportunity to own a vacant cottage lot, boasting 1.4 acres in size, on the crystal-clear waters of Mackie Lake in Plevna has arrived. With 113.59 feet of private shoreline and a natural beach, this rare parcel offers the perfect setting to build your secluded dream getaway. Mackie Lake is a true gem - a spring-fed trout lake renowned for its clarity and exceptional fishing. Trout fishing is permitted year-round, making it a paradise for anglers. According to Anglers Atlas, the lake spans approximately 1.7 square kilometers, with two connected basins. The north basin reaches a maximum depth of 75 feet, and the lake's average depth is 28 feet. The shoreline stretches over 11 kilometers (7 miles), yet only about 35 to 36 cottages are dotted along its edge. The remainder of the land is pristine Crown land, ensuring peace, privacy, and unspoiled views for generations to come.The property is rich in natural features, with a diverse mix of white birch, oak, ash, pine, spruce, maple trees, and even wild blueberries. Some crucial information for any potential buyer would be that both hydro is available on the lot, AND there is ultra fast mobile data-cell coverage. Whether you're looking to unplug or create the ultimate remote work-from-nature retreat, you won't be completely off-grid as a nearby Bell/Virgin mobile tower provides excellent cell coverage, making it possible to stay connected when needed. Accessible ONLY by water, the property is a short boat ride from one of two nearby public landings. The seller will personally transport interested buyers via a fishing boat for viewings. This is a true nature lovers haven, offering unparalleled tranquility, adventure, and the promise of lasting memories.This one-of-a-kind property must be seen to be truly appreciated. Contact us today to arrange your private water-access tour.
