400 Old 127 Highway, South Algonquin

Step into a one-of-a-kind home with timeless charm of 1900s architecture combined with modern luxury. This 3 full bathroom 3 bedroom year round home has been completely updated while preserving its history. Inside, exposed log interior walls, original hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings with recessed lighting, built-in cabinetry and window seat/daybed niches add authentic character and practical charm while retaining the home’s historic feel. Inside, the heart of the home is the kitchen, featuring both a freestanding wood-burning cook stove perfect for those who love the tradition of hearthside cooking but a modern electric range for daily tasks. The kitchen also includes a deep farmhouse-style sink, ample built-in wooden cabinets, open shelving and a decorative stained-glass style panel above the sink that bathes the workspace in natural light. All-in-one washer and dryer located on the upper-level, 200-amp breakers, and Starlink internet ensure daily ease, while a TV tower antenna, bell line and cell signal keep you connected. Two of the full bathrooms have been updated — one showcases a custom wood vanity with modern fixtures and a large mirror, while another features an updated shower and contemporary finishes — and period trim and doors remain throughout the home. The home’s warmth is matched by its setting: 135 private acres bordered and surrounded by 3,600 (-/+) acres of crown land. Poverty Creek runs through the property in two serene locations, while 100s of mature maples line the trails, making woodland walks to collect maple sap accessible without trekking through heavy bush. Well maintained trails weave through the land, connecting deer food plots and snowmobile routes that extend right from your doorstep. Aerial views show a generous cleared lawn around the house, a long private driveway (approximately 0.8 km) that affords total privacy, and multiple outbuildings — including a secondary cabin/guest building and detached garage/shed — set among the trees and connected by maintained lanes. 1000s of hours have gone into transforming this property into a deer and hunting haven attracting all the wildlife that northern Ontario has to offer including moose, deer, bear, grouse, ducks and turkeys. Down the road Poverty Lake awaits, while crown trails lead to multiple lakes. Just a short drive to the gates of Algonquin Park for day trips and adventure. Spacious decks out multiple doors (visible from the aerials), a ramped entrance and an asphalt shingle roof. With no neighbour's in sight, privacy is absolute with your 0.8km driveway, yet the conveniences of Whitney are just minutes away. Located on a year round municipally maintained road with garbage pickup. This property, once a welcoming bed and breakfast, and a historic cattle farm offers endless possibilities — whether as a family retreat, a hobby farm, or a nature-focused homestead. A rich history and modern updates, it's more than a home; it's a sanctuary. Viewings by appointment only please. (id:1945)
