If you’ve been dreaming of a place where you can step out your door and hear nothing but the breeze through the trees, or watch the stars from your deck without a city light in sight, this might just be the spot. Sitting on 1.2 acres with 400 feet of frontage along Highway 522 in Port Loring, Ontario, this property is more than just a house — it’s a slice of the good life, and a must-see for anyone looking for quiet country comfort.
The main home is a sturdy, well-kept 1,100 square feet, freshly painted inside, with two bedrooms on the main floor and a third upstairs that could easily become a guest room or hobby space. It’s got all new insulation and drywall, a solid aluminum exterior, and a brand-new roof done by All Heights Roofing in 2023, complete with new plywood and 25-year shingles. Downstairs, there’s a full basement with a new washer (2024) and a neat area for firewood.
The place is set up for easy living no matter the season. A new Mac wood furnace heats the house efficiently on about 10 face cords of wood for the winter, with an oil backup and a tank inspected every year. There’s even a generator hookup with its own panel, so if the power ever goes out, you’re still comfortable.
Step outside, and you’ll find three new decks, each built in 2021, wrapping around the house to give you a sunny spot or a shady retreat any time of day. Beyond that, there’s a hand-built fishpond with a new liner and a charming waterwheel that turns gently — one of those peaceful touches that’s hard to find anywhere else.
The property is bursting with perennial plants galore, showing off an endless variety of colors all year round while requiring low maintenance. There’s also a well-maintained vegetable garden that’s been tended for over 20 years, offering plenty of room to grow anything you like and enough space to feed four people or more.
This home is also within walking distance to everything in town, yet just a short drive away from some of the best fishing spots the area has to offer.
This property is more than just the house. There’s also a snug one-room cottage with its own new roof and a wrap-around deck, perfect for visiting family, a rental, or just your private getaway. And there is a brand-new separate shower house built in 2022 comes complete with a fish cleaning station, so you’re set up for outdoor living and entertaining.
Need space for hobbies or work? You’ll appreciate the woodworking shop, insulated and topped with an aluminum roof, warmed by its own wood stove. The attached carport keeps your projects — or your truck — dry year-round. There’s also a big lean-to that holds up to 22 face cords of wood, plus a sturdy shed behind the cottage for your mower, tools, or lumber.
The water’s good here, too. A drilled well has provided clean water for over 22 years, tested twice a year. The home is outfitted with a high-end Kinetico water softener, a whole-house iron-out system, and a reverse osmosis filter under the kitchen sink.
The cement septic system was built to handle gatherings, with two tanks — one for solids, one for water — feeding into a well-kept filter bed, all installed by licensed local pro Dale Brooks. There’s even a legal commercial highway sign on the property, already licensed, if you’ve got a small business in mind.
The land itself is special: fully surveyed with steel stakes, registered in Parry Sound, and it includes a whole additional parcel joined right on, giving you even more room to roam, garden, or just let nature be.
It’s all been thoughtfully cared for, paid off in full, and ready for someone new to come and enjoy. Whether you want a quiet spot to retire, a place to bring your family for summers by the pond, or a home base for hunting, fishing, and exploring the North, this property offers a lifestyle you won’t find anywhere else. You have to see it to fully grasp what it has to offer.
Asking $689,900, but all offers will be considered.
