This 2-bed, 1-bath cottage is all about the waterfront. It sits on the Trent-Severn Waterway with a private dock, just 0.7 km from the Kirkfield Lift Lock. The front yard is a grassy slope down to the water, with a swing set and a fire pit for evenings. The house itself is a cozy bungalow with a stone facade and a steel roof. Inside, the main floor is one open level with a living room that has a wood stove, a kitchen with a vintage gas range, and wood beamed ceilings. There's also a small dining area and a 3-piece bath. Wood floors and walls give it that classic cottage feel. You get two storage sheds out back (one could be a bunkie) and a cement holding tank from 2021. Water comes straight from the river, and there's a shared spring too. The lot is 75 x 250 feet, so plenty of room. On the market for $185,900, and the annual taxes are only $1,208.74. Note: it's on leased land from Parks Canada, about $2,813 a year, and it's seasonal only. But winter visits are fine if you bring your own heat. Road is maintained year-round, so getting here in any season is a breeze. If you've been looking for a simple, affordable water access cottage in Kawartha country, this is it.
