Truly a special offering. Over 6 acres of privacy with over 650 feet of shoreline and a one-of-a-kind private year-round home or cottage. Wow! The home/cottage sits on 2.28 acres with 228 feet of water frontage and now the neighbouring 4 acres plus an additional 430 ft. of water frontage is included! The cottage has 3 levels - 2 of the levels each have their own kitchen, bedroom, washroom, living/dining area. The second level also offers laundry and a large sunroom. Head to the third floor to discover an unfinished studio/living space - use your imagination. The waterfront in front of the cottage is sandy entry, shallow and great for little ones. Boat, paddleboard, canoe or kayak picturesque Wren Lake that leads into Little Wren Lake and, with a short portage, further into Raven Lake. Built for nature lovers, this is the perfect getaway. Additional buildings include a deep and spacious garage with overhead loft for storage, a workshop/bunkie (was once lived in while house was being built and has it's own holding tank, separate from the septic system), a Boat House and your own boatlaunch. There are existing trails on the acreage for the adventurous - a good hike or snowshoe - the choice is yours. You are moments from the old "Frost Centre" with access to the Algonquin Water Trails, and more hiking, snowshoeing and skiing trails.

The neighbourhood, by the census
Statistics Canada 2021 Census for dissemination area 35460272 — the few blocks around this address, home to 1,010 people. It describes the area, not this property.
Percentages are of the 695 responses in this category. Statistics Canada rounds counts and withholds small ones to keep individuals unidentifiable, so categories with too few people to publish are absent rather than shown as zero.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
