About this home

Escape the ordinary at 1547 North Pickerel Lake Road, a private sanctuary set on 4.79 forested acres with 223 feet of pristine, south-facing waterfront. Tucked beneath a lush canopy along a year-round municipal road, this turn-key, off-grid, three-season cabin offers unmatched rustic charm, supreme privacy, and accessible wilderness living. A scenic, gently sloping trail meanders through vibrant hardwood and softwood woods right to the water's edge. Here, you will enjoy deep, weed-free swimming along a peaceful, calm stretch of the North Magnetawan River, or paddle just three minutes out to breathtaking Pickerel Lake for a full day of premier boating, fishing, and water exploration.Inside, the light-filled main floor features an airy open-concept living and dining area, a highly functional kitchenette, a cozy double bedroom, and an expansive screened-in porch that serves as the ultimate backdrop for quiet morning coffees and long evening conversations. Upstairs, a versatile sleeping loft captures stunning, elevated treetop views. Large oversized windows frame the surrounding wilderness, bringing the outdoors inside, while a unique heated outdoor shower equipped with a forest-view wall adds an undeniable touch of magic and luxury. Built as a fully legal guest cabin featuring fully insulated floors and walls, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a clean, modern composting toilet, this retreat is fully equipped for immediate, effortless off-grid living from day one. Enjoy this tranquil haven as it sits today while keeping the door wide open to design and construct a substantial primary year-round residence on the vast, gently rolling lot. Properties offering this unique combination of extensive acreage, water access, and building flexibility are increasingly hard to find. Step directly into a rare, timeless haven where mature forest, winding river, and open lake seamlessly become part of your everyday life.
