About this property

One-of-a-kind 8.72-acre waterfront estate on a quiet arm of Quennell Lake, with 240 ft of pristine frontage, a private dock, and towering old growth many 800-1,000+ years old. Both sides of the inlet's remaining 4,000+ ft of shoreline are owned and protected by the Wildwood Ecoforest Conservation Centre, a 104-acre non-profit. Perched on the ridge, the 2,321 sq. ft. mid-century modern home frames lake views from every bedroom and living room, with rainforest and cascading ponds on the opposite side. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and oversized windows capture the south-facing exposure. Dedicated kitchens and living quarters on both floors leave room for in-laws or extended family, and a charming 429 sq. ft. 1930s log cabin with power, water, and its own kitchen adds guest accommodation. New roof, new septic, Fujitsu central heat pump, and a wood-fired hydronic radiator system that can run as primary or backup heat - with endless firewood onsite, a "no-cost" option for the whole home.
