This $99K Ontario Lakehouse For Sale Is Like Having Your Own Cottage Country Kingdom

Your mortgage would be less than a car payment!
Contributor

If you’re looking to buy a home or cottage in Ontario without breaking the bank, you'll want to check this gem out. Situated on the serene Maki Lake is a small and adorable Ontario lakehouse for sale that you can buy for just $99,900 dollars. The home sits on the corner of a small peninsula with a panoramic view of the gorgeous lake.

Because the lake is so serene, there’s a no-engine policy. So you won’t be disturbed by any rowdy boaters.

It’s just you, the lake, and nature!

The previous owners have built a private dock for swimming and docking their canoes. Not to mention, there’s a beautiful porch area for you to sit and admire the view on.

Other outbuildings include an outhouse, a storage shed, and a woodshed.

As for the interior, there’s a living room, two bedrooms, and a large kitchen. It’s recommended that no more than a single family occupy the home — it is only 900 square feet, after all.

The one catch? This home is boat access only, and remember, there are no engines allowed on Maki Lake, so you’re going to have to paddle to get to this hidden gem.

But once you’re there, it’s so secluded that it's almost like having your own private cottage country.

As we mentioned before, there's an outhouse. There may not be any live plumbing or power, but that's not a problem, according to the current owners.

With a generator or some solar panels, you'll be living in luxury in no time. 

And, with a price tag of $99,900, and a mortgage of only $431.98 a month, a lack of electricity and running water can be tolerated.

The current owner describes the lake as a "swimmer's haven," and adds that you can jump right off the dock into the "warm, clear waters."
