This isn't a finished home, it's a project with serious upside. You're getting a legal duplex shell on 2.2 acres just outside Port Carling, with over 170 feet of road frontage and a driveway that splits to serve both levels. The main floor has one bedroom, one bath, a living room, and laundry, but the real value is in the structure itself. Previous owners had plans for a two-storey duplex, and the block foundation is already in. Both units are framed out, waiting for your finishes. Attached garage parking for up to 9 cars is rare for the area. Municipal water and sewer are hooked up, so you skip the well and septic hassle. The lot is irregular but flat enough to work with, and there's potential to sever into a separate lot if you want to sell one piece. Location is solid: it's a 5-minute drive to the Muskoka Lakes Museum, Just Crepes is a kilometer away, and Oliver's Coffee is 2.5 km for your caffeine fix. The Sherwood Inn and Windermere House are both about 5 km out, and the JW Marriott is 6.5 km. At $429,000 with taxes just over $2,500, it's priced below the single active listing nearby, which is also at $429k. You're not paying for someone else's renovations here. You're paying for land, location, and a legal duplex shell that's ready for your vision. Bring your tool belt and your contractor's number.
