About this property
Leave the outside world behind at 293 Fire Route 73, a secluded three-season retreat on West Twin Lake, approximately two hours from the GTA. Set on approximately 1.17 wooded acres with about 135 feet of shoreline and Crown land adjoining the property, this updated, move-in-ready cottage combines true backcountry character with essential comforts. Inside are four bedrooms, one full bathroom, an updated kitchen, full electrical service, septic and flush toilet, hot and cold lake-intake plumbing, indoor shower and hot water, electric heat, and app-controlled Govee lighting. Starlink has been successfully tested; hardware is excluded. Enjoy southeast-facing sunrise views, clear water, a gradual sandy entry, a 20-foot floating dock, motorboat access, and swimming, paddling and fishing directly from shore. Explore West Twin Lake and connected Blue Lake, then return to the outdoor hardtop gazebo beneath the permanent exterior lighting. Loons, beavers and waterfowl are regularly seen and heard, while largemouth bass and other game fish have been observed. Long lake and forest views, very few neighbouring cottages and limited public access create an exceptional sense of quiet. Access is by a private, non-winter-maintained road; an SUV or pickup is recommended for the short rough final section. The cottage is not winterized, and the seasonal lake-water system requires closing. For buyers who value privacy, paddling, fishing, wildlife and backcountry exploration over pavement and crowds: remote by design, comfortable where it counts.
