About the property

Beautifully remodelled from inside to out, this year-round property is not to be missed! Just twenty minutes north of Huntsville, the friendly and inviting town of Kearney offers a variety of year-round activities and events, as well as plenty of accommodations, restaurants, and amenities. The town is also well-resourced with pristine waters, lush forests, beautiful northern scenery, and three entrances to Algonquin Provincial Park. As you enter the property off the municipal road, you are greeted with a level yard, an oversized, detached double garage, and the beautifully appointed bungalow. The main level of the home features a custom-designed chef’s style kitchen with built-in double convection wall ovens, luxury stone counters, and a large island with an induction cooktop; a guest room; and a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet area and a luxurious three-piece bathroom, which has a marble vanity and a double-wide shower with rain fall shower heads and a bench. Through the sliding glass doors is a generous wrap-around deck with a covered sitting area, where you can enjoy looking out across the sun-soaked Hassard Lake, which has access to two other lakes for your boating fun. The 330-foot shoreline (224 feet in a straight line) is shallow and sandy, ideal for young and old alike. Deeper water can be found off the dock for the “cannonball kids” in all of us. Southern exposure guarantees you all-day sun with inviting areas throughout the grounds for late night bonfires, horseshoes, and cottage day games. Have pets? The newly fenced-in area is great for letting furry loved ones run about. There is a lower-level walkout with a patio area, two more guest rooms, a recreation room, and a kitchenette for convenience. The cottage has gone through a total transformation, inside and out, with plenty of recent upgrades.
