This cabin in the woods has been much loved by the same family for many, many years. But now it's time for a new family to care for it. It's situated in a cottage community near Raven Lake, just a short drive to the Village of Dorset. Although the property is not waterfront, you have the right to launch your boat or other watercraft at the private boat launch located just across the road. From there you can boat into Raven Lake or Deer Lake. There are hundreds of acres of Crown Land nearby including most of the shoreline on Deer Lake. The Haliburton Mapping image shown in the photos illustrates all the Crown Land as dark green. The recreational possibilities are endless for all seasons with snowmobile and ATV trails at your door. The cottage does need some TLC but has a lot to offer. The half-acre+ lot is mostly level with some gently sloped areas to the rear. There is a full septic system that was reinspected by the municipality in 2020. Water is drawn from a drilled well that is also treated with a UV filtration system. The interior features 3 bedrooms and a 4 pc bath. There is an open living/dining area that looks onto a deck facing toward Raven Lake. A beautiful stone fireplace anchors this space. It has an airtight insert with a stainless steel flue liner. Additional heat is supplied by electric baseboard heaters. The building is not fully winterized although it has insulated walls and ceilings. Access is via privately maintained year round road. This is a real opportunity for someone looking for an affordable getaway.
