I was just in Toronto talking to some Canadians about their cottages. Weird.

There are actually 40 different species of fish in this lake. Pike, Musky, Sturgeon, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Garpike, Whitefish, Crappie, Perch, Herring, Ling.... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It will eventually be home. Wife and I are getting tired of the city life.

Nearest town is about a 10 minute drive and has pretty much everything we need. Grocery, gas, liquor /images/graemlins/grin.gif Population: 1500

[Cubswin]

VERY VERY NICE!!!!

I have been looking at places in NW Ontario because sometime down the line i want to get some property just like yours. Do you have URLs to any real estate agents in that area of ontario??? Maybe i should consider that part of Ontario as well.... if the prices are in line with NW Ontario.....

[NiceCatch]

I'm squatting there until someone kicks me out. Could you post directions please? And be specific. I don't know Ontario too well.

[tbach24]

Congrats...these three pics look EXACTLY like what's in front of my school. I hope you enjoy the privacy.

If your school environment looks like it does in your avatar picture, then the OP's new property is 10 times better.

[tbach24]

I didn't take that pic, it was the only one I could find. The views from my deck are nicer, IMO, since I don't like the closeup of the river and more of an overlook of the valley. That being said, his is truly beautiful and I'm happy he's getting what he wants. It's also exactly what it looks like along the river where I am.

You suck.

[4thstreetpete]

Benal do you have an idea what house prices are like close to the surrounding areas? I've always thought of myself as a city boy but as I've gotten older the idea of moving a little further out of toronto is very appealing to me.

Pic looks awesome. Congrats.

[Dead]

So are you out of your special school yet?

[eastbay]

Sweet. Around me that would cost only, oh, around $100 million.

You're one to talk- you're 17 and not even a junior yet. I'll graduate college at age 21. But I'm the dumb one. Riiiiighttt.

I'm already smarter than you. I'm a junior right now. I will be repeating next year, however that has nothing to do with my current intelligence. You asked something like "when do you get out of retard school?"

Could you guys get a room please? You totally hijacked this nice fellow's thread.

Just stop lol. You're repeating because you want to? Face it, you are an f'ed up kid, and you ask really stupid questions. I really don't know how you manage to dress yourself in the morning.

OHHH i sprayed myselfwith a fire extinguisher? WHAT DO I DO?


You totally have autism, or an offshoot like Asperger's.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm guessing that similar property in NW Ontario would be significantly cheaper due to the lack of a big city in that area of the province.

I can't help you with Real Estate agents in that area, but I'm sure Remax would be glad to help you out.

[NiceCatch]

Actually, I meant to aim that comment about getting a room at Voltron and Dead. You are blameless, my friend.

Actually i was talking about agents in your neck of the woods... no pun intended. I dont actually need an agent... just a URL to play around with and day dream about... im not that serious about it yet. BTW... remax is useless for properties in NW Ont...

[/ QUOTE ]

This area is a little further north of Toronto than the "Cottage Country - Muskoka" area. Much cheaper up here. The same property in Cottage Country would be in the $500,000 price range, and that's land only /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Homes in the area of this property range from $250,000 to $600,000.

It may look like a river on those pics, but it is far from it. There are miles and miles of lake to explore out there, so much so that I'll probably never see it all.

Wow Benal. Just wow. You must consider yourself the luckiest person alive to snag this baby.

[jnalpak]

CONGRATS.

btw, you should build one of those homes that rusty guy from Days Of Thunder wanted to build bf his cole trickle accident /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DavidC]

Hey dude,

I was just going to say that this looks exactly like cottage country in Ontario, before I saw your location.

Rock on! Hope you enjoy it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[OtisTheMarsupial]

nice.
I'm envious.

[SmileyEH]

You have never been to Red Lake Ontario have you? Hometown baby.

(Really drunk right now)

Just woke up - and I wish it was right on that body of water. Looks awesome - good luck with the building.

[/ QUOTE ]

With good design, you don't have to ruin it by building a home. Just be respectful that you're not the only one living there. And maybe do cool things like use passive heating - make a sustainable home on that beautiful land. Will you keep us updated with pics?

[Benal]

I don't plan on building for at least 5-10 years, but I'll update ya'll with pics if OOT is still around /images/graemlins/wink.gif I wonder how many posts TSC or Dead will have by then...

[IndieMatty]

Looks just like the rideau lake region. Great purchase.

[Gamblor]

If there is anything better than Northern Ontario Canadian-Shield style cottaging and canoetripping, I'd like to hear it.

Nipissing, Lake Simcoe, Muskoka, Haliburton, the Kawarthas, Algonquin Park, Georgian Bay, Wasaga, you name it, I like it. i think 90% of the people i know have cottages in one of those areas.

What makes you so smart is that you didn't buy on Simcoe or one of the really heavily populated areas where its all sea doos and big catamarans all summer.

summer (swimming, canoe-tripping, fishing) or winter (slough-hockey, ice-fishing), great call.

congratulations.
