About this listing

Discover why generations of cottagers, anglers and paddlers have travelled from around the world to this coveted section of the French River, renowned for its natural beauty, world-class fishing and unforgettable wilderness experiences. Welcome to Merrangers Island-a beautiful Crown Land island with only two residences, offering unmatched privacy and endless opportunities to explore nature. This semi-remote waterfront retreat is accessed by boat from Hartley Bay Marina, just a scenic 5-mile ride away, and the watercraft is included. Set on an incredible lot with 170 feet of sheltered waterfront, the property features a sandy beach, striking rock outcroppings, excellent docking and breathtaking views. Backing onto Crown Land, you'll feel immersed in wilderness and can explore as you please. The charming three-season A-frame cottage is warm and inviting, finished with pine tongue-and-groove throughout and offered fully furnished. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms, including one with a private deck overlooking the water. A half bath is connected to a grey-water leaching pit, with an outdoor privy and solar-heated outdoor shower completing the cottage experience. Outdoor living shines with a spacious front deck and screened gazebo, plus a large side deck for entertaining. The guest bunkie offers extra sleeping space and includes a wood-burning sauna, change room and front deck. Modern conveniences include dual solar systems, a Honda generator, internet and cell service. Included are an 18-foot Lund Alaskan with 90 HP Suzuki, a 14-foot Mirrocraft with 25 HP Mercury, a 4x4 quad, plus an extensive collection of toys, tools and full chattel list. Lovingly maintained and completely turnkey, this is more than a cottage-it's a legacy property where lifelong memories are made. Opportunities on this section of the French River are rare.
