About the property

A short distance from Eagle Lake, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom property in South River, Ont., sits on a large forested lot, offering acres of private outdoor space and trails to enjoy. With Crown land and the lake nearby, there are also lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. The home itself has been completely renovated—upgrades include new vinyl exterior siding, new floors, an updated kitchen, new plumbing, and a new propane furnace. The main living area is totally open concept, with flow from the kitchen into the dining and living spaces. Wood panelling throughout the home gives it character. In addition to the three main bedrooms in the house, there is an insulated bunkie on the property for extra guest space, with bunk-beds and a woodstove.
