How this price compares

Three parties produce a dollar figure for this house, for three different purposes, so they do not agree and were never meant to. The gaps are worked out here rather than left for you to hold in your head.

Asking price
$1,295,000
Set by the seller and their brokerage. It is a request, and nothing tests it until an offer arrives.

Modelled from comparable sales by the explorer further down this page. Change the comparables there and this number moves, which is the reason it is shown at all.

Assessed value, 2026
Nothing of this kind on the record, and nothing here fills it in from an average of other houses.
The figure property tax is apportioned from, valued as of a date that is not today. It is not a market value and no lender treats it as one.

None of these is an appraisal. Your lender orders one of those once an offer is accepted, and it is the figure that decides how much they will actually lend.

Now is the time for another fun-loving family to make its own awesome adventures and magical memories chock-full of gorgeous sunrises, sensational sunsets, cozy campfires and wonderful watersports, not to mention a winter wonderland at your fingertips.

A mere 5-minute boat ride from the amenities of North Bay, and an easy, just over 3-hour drive from Toronto, it offers you an acre of the peace and quiet you desire yet the privacy to turn it up a notch should the mood strike. This architecturally designed, custom-built house combines the perfect rustic cottage experience with the modern comforts of home, including 3 bedrooms, 21/2 bathrooms, a full, partially finished basement, an excellent boathouse with an attached workshop, a charming log cabin that may make a dream bunkie, sauna, sandy beach, and docks and decks galore. Fully furnished and outfitted, this turnkey vacation property is insulated and equipped with a WETT-inspected and approved stylish stone fireplace and a wood stove, making you ready for 4-season fun. It's serviced with a septic system, hydro, landline telephone, cell service, and available high-speed internet for your complete comfort. This rare find may be optionally sold along with a nearby mainland waterfront lot featuring hydro, your own private dock, and plenty of parking in a prime location close to the beloved Green Store, allowing you convenient, speedy, 5-minute access to your personal paradise. Recent upgrades include a new septic tank in 2024, a brand new submarine hydro line servicing the property, replaced in 2025, and a freshly painted exterior of the house, decks, docks, boathouse, and cabin in 2026.
