An island property that will knock your socks off here on Redstone Lake!  When we talk about islands we talk about boat rides to and from, secluded atmosphere and just a different way of cottaging BUT at Hunter's Island you'll not only have every convenience as a mainland cottage but the "to and from" is 5 minutes away at most. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath chalet style cottage is so well kept with modern finishes and a bright, airy open concept KT/LR/DR with massive front deck all facing west for those magical sunsets.  That's not even the best part...let's add a 1 bedroom 12ft x 16ft guest cabin with covered porch, a huge backyard for the kids to play, 165 ft of sand beach and all "turn key" meaning you just need the groceries and your clothes!  I didn't mention the boat included, full approved septic and total privacy, that just tops off an amazing environment to fully enjoy cottage life and at a much lower cost than mainland cottages!

VACANT LOT + DEEDED ACCESS TO SALERNO LAKE!  If looking for a weekend getaway but can't afford the big dollars to be directly on the lake well, you've found that property!  This lot has been landscaped with stone gardens and walkways, outdoor bbq area and is very, very private with an envelope of trees surrounding the cleared area.  The best part is a few steps down the road on Hand Drive is a "deeded access" lot, which you have a deeded right to use, that has been partly cleared for ATV or walk on the path down to the lake, there you'll find your own dock! There is a small cabin on the lot for sale you can sleep in but is represented as a shed along with 2 others on the property and a vinyl topped, metal framed garage/shed.  For a fraction of the price of a waterfront property you have a fabulous weekend getaway that is being sold "as is/where is".

You've found your "Family Cottage"!!!  This 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage is located on Benoir Lake offering a 3 lake chain with Elephant and Baptiste Lakes and 35 miles of boating.  Load the family into the pontoon and head out for the day on the boat or stay at the cottage and enjoy this totally flat lot with loads of room for kids and pets to roam and play and especially at the water where you'll find a golden sand beach.  The sunsets here will take your breath away while the cottage is a pride of ownership, clean, tidy and so well kept building with so much to offer including open concept KT/LR/DR, a large screened in porch to get away from those pesky bugs and a very large front deck to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset.  If that isn't enough you can access the cottage on a flat, year round township maintained road, take advantage of the ATV and snowmobile trails surrounding this area or try your hand at canoeing/kayaking up the York River in to Algonquin Park!  This family cottage has it all with plenty of room to expand as well.
