40 Ottilie Road, Lake of the Woods, ON

Description

Cabin in the woods with a dock on Lake of the Woods? Check. Nearly 5 acres with great seclusion and privacy? Check. The land has a low profile, a mix of oak and aspen trees, and southeast exposure for that golden morning sunlight through the trees. A solid roadbed leads from the parking area to the dock. The main cabin is a 768 sq. ft., three-season getaway that had a 2018 refresh that included new flooring and tongue and groove pine. It’s simple but functional: open kitchen/living/dining area, one bedroom, an office, and a three-piece bath (certified septic system installed in 2005). Just off the living room, a 12x16 ft. screened room gives you a bug-free front-row seat to the outdoors. Closer to the lake, there’s a second structure divided into a storage shed, screened room, and one-room sleeping cabin—unfinished but full of potential. At the water’s edge, a sturdy steel-pipe dock connects via ramp to a floating platform—you never have to worry about the wind here. Even with the lake currently at a very low level, there is still two and a half feet of water at the dock, and regular use would open up a deeper channel. Ottilie Road is a municipal road, maintained year-round by the township. Shallow, weedy shoreline? Yes. But if you’re after peace, privacy, and a solid base for lake life, this is one to take a look at. Services include: Hydro power is nearby and will need to be connected. There is a 100-amp panel in the cabin. Water is drawn from the lake with a jet pump. Heat is provided by an electric baseboard in the bedroom and an electric heater in the bathroom. The wood stove is not WETT inspected. A certified septic system was installed in 2005. Taxes for 2025 are $1,276.68. The Ontario Land Transfer Tax on $229,500 is $2,020 Please call, email or use the contact forms on this page for more information or to arrange to see this property.
