About this home

*** Visit the REALTOR website for further information about this Listing *** Rare private lakefront ownership in one of the best positions on Big Basswood Lake near Iron Bridge, Ontario, one of Northern Ontario's most pristine private inland lake settings. Quietly held for generations and rarely offered publicly, this approximately 5.42-acre waterfront property offers 283 feet of direct lake frontage on a peaceful freshwater lake accessible only from surrounding private lake homes. The setting feels protected, private, and increasingly difficult to replace, with limited shoreline development, mature trees, exposed Canadian Shield granite, wide open lake views, and a private sandy beach naturally tucked into the shoreline. The water entry is one of the property's rare advantages. The shoreline offers a gentle walk-in beach that stays shallow for approximately the first 30 feet before gradually becoming deeper, creating an ideal swimming area where the near-shore water warms beautifully in season. Set directly above the lake, the authentic two-story log cabin cottage offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, soaring wood ceilings, panoramic water views, a dramatic real stone fireplace, exceptional woodwork, solid construction, and timeless Amish craftsmanship throughout. This is not a crowded cottage subdivision or a manufactured luxury build. It is a real Northern Ontario lakefront retreat with privacy, character, land, beach frontage, protected surroundings, and soul. Located within the gateway to the Great Lakes region, the property offers fishing, boating, swimming, hunting, wildlife, and year-round outdoor recreation while remaining accessible by major highway connections across Ontario and the United States, approximately one hour from Sault Ste. Marie Airport. True lakefront ownership in a setting like this is rare.
