Experience the ultimate low-cost gateway to waterfront living on this prime 40' x 165' lot, where the guesswork of building has been removed. Tired of rising marina fees and crowded campgrounds? Secure a tangible asset in a finite resource: waterfront land. This property offers a proven roadmap for a simple, high-efficiency recreational retreat. Unlike typical lots with unknown restrictions, this site has successfully navigated rigorous environmental and conservation studies; the "Yes" from the Township and Conservation Authority has already been secured. The current owners reached the final stage of permit readiness, and while permits are non-transferable, the heavy lifting is done. The Seller is offering a "Knowledge Transfer," including architectural plans and site engineering for an approved Class II Greywater system if requested. This setup is perfectly suited for a modern, small-footprint one-bedroom cabin utilizing cost-effective pier-foundation systems-the cheapest and most efficient method to build today. Imagine a low-maintenance, one-level cottage to use as your private base for summer boating, paddling, and sunsets, or winter snowmobiling and ice fishing. Bypass years of municipal delays and move straight to the final administrative steps to begin your 2026 project. Whether you build a minimalist eco-cottage now or hold the land as a secure long-term investment that won't depreciate, this is a rare chance to own shoreline with the path of least resistance. Escape the city and start enjoying the lake life without the stress of massive construction budgets. Note: Previous building permits are site-proven but must be re-applied for by the new owner.
