This Aylen Lake cottage property is an affordable opportunity for folks who can manage boat access/ATV access and off grid living, and It's on AYLEN LAKE. If you don't know the lake call me and I will tell you about it. The lake shares a boundary with Algonquin Park and is really quite unique, 21.4 square kms in area with 59 kms of shoreline, small mouth bass and lake trout, a few sand beaches and the friendly call of the loon. Cliff diving, blueberry picking, wildlife...cottage stuff. Boat access is made easy with a marina dock/launch service with vehicle parking just a few feet away at the Aylen Lake Landing. The Seller also has boat available for purchase separately if you want an easy transition.
