About this listing

This 205-acre off-grid parcel of land is situated between the Pike River on the north and the Sturgeon River on the south, with approximately 11,000 feet of river frontage. It contains two seasonal dwellings, the first being a trailer with a built-on summer kitchen and great room, all under a steel roof. One owner uses this in winter by means of a propane-powered generator. Lights are run from solar panels and water is pumped from the Pike River. A roomy two-room cabin is situated deeper into the property, past a 20-acre field. A third seasonal dwelling, a trailer (not included), is located on the Sturgeon River, where there is a cleared area and a dock. The current owners have used this property for hunting, fishing, gardening, swimming and family get-togethers. One historical use was as a farm. The soil is a rich loam, mostly free of stones. Land could be cleared and re-purposed for self-sustained homesteading. There is a natural spring on the property which could be developed into a water source. There is a small beach on the Pike River. Another possible use would be as a recreational campground. An ATV and OFSC trail currently runs east-west through the property on an old railbed, making it easy to access most of the land and the village of Field, where Riverview Market stocks essential groceries with an LCBO outlet. Smokey's River Shack offers poutine, fries and hamburgers. Field offers a post office, library, fire hall, Caisse Alliance, Notre-dame-des-Victoires church, a covered hockey arena and a friendly community.
