$ 699,000
A beautiful cottage property facing Northwest on an attractive bay on highly-desireable McGregor Lake. Approximately one-half acre of heavily forested land, featuring towering old-growth white pines and mixed hardwoods. Excellent sandy-bottom, weed-free waterfront including both deep water and a small sandy beach. McGregor Lake is a large, controlled-access lake with a strong owners’ lake association (https://lacmcgregorlake.ca/association/) situated in Val-des-Monts, Quebec just 25 minutes from Ottawa. The Municipality and the Lake Association both maintain extensive environmental programs to control water quality and other environmental considerations.
The property includes a cozy, three-bedroom cottage of approximately 900 square feet with cedar siding and knotty cedar interior throughout. The generous front deck overhangs Lake McGregor, which is just a few steps below the cottage level. Summer sunsets are spectacular. The deck is equipped with a retractable awning for shade as needed. The kitchen includes fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave and various small appliances. There is also a barbeque station with rain shelter outside the side door adjacent to the kitchen. The bathroom includes a sink, toilet and shower. For spring and fall, heat is provided by electric baseboards in the bedrooms, and two larger electric heaters as well as an air-tight wood stove in the living area. The cottage is insulated and includes double-glazed windows. Water supply is from the lake. The driveway is paved as is the municipal road above. The road is winter-maintained by the municipality, which also provides garbage collection. Telephone and internet access are available.
The water in McGregor Lake is clean and clear. The waterfront features a large (300 square feet) floating dock. The depth at the outer end of the dock is 10 feet or so, allowing worry free diving and care free cannon balls. Included are a paddle boat, a sail board, an older 14-foot aluminum boat with a small two-stroke motor, and various inflatables. Storage is provided by two sheds and the space under the front of the cottage.
