Location

The property is a rectangular parcel of land approximately 313 feet wide by 2,640 feet deep. It is located about 1.5 miles north of the settlement of Kearney, which is about 20 miles north of Huntsville by highway. This 19 acre parcel has recently been surveyed. (The front corners have been surveyed and iron posts are in the ground).

Directions & Road Access

From Highway 11 at Emsdale, turn east along Highway 518 and proceed about 1 km past Kearney to Cherry Hill Rd.. Turn left (west) along Cherry Hill Rd. and proceed about 3 km to the Armour/Perry Township Line, where the road takes a right angle to the left. A 3-season road suitable for 4 wheel drive vehicles follows the Township Line to the right. Follow this road about 1.5 km to the northwest corner of the property.

There is approximately 400 metres of unopened road allowance. Opening this road allowance is available upon application from the Town of Kearney.

Topography & Terrain

This is part of Ontario’s Canadian Shield, a rugged forested tract of rocky hills crisscrossed with numerous streams and lakes. Here the forest is a mixture of mostly balsam and black spruce, with some sugar maples. The terrain slopes downward from east to west.

The property is surrounded by private land except for the north side, which bounds Crown Land approximately 600 acres in size. But this parcel is attached to an even larger tract of Crown Land extending in an irregular configuration for thousands of acres, mostly to the north, where it continues through many townships all the way to Hudson Bay. This Crown Land tract is also connected to the nearby Chain Lakes Conservation Reserve and to Algonquin Park.

Recreational Potential

This parcel is located in Ontario’s Playground, within 3 hours drive from the Greater Toronto Area. Bethune (a.k.a. Beaver) Lake is only about 1/2 mile distant and the entire area is an unspoiled forested wilderness teeming with wildlife. The Trans Canada Trail, ideal for hiking, cycling, and snowmobiling, is only 2 miles away. And despite the wilderness setting, the friendly village of Kearney with all its shopping conveniences is only minutes away and Huntsville, with all the amenities of a large town (shopping, banking, entertainment, health care etc.) is only a few more minutes away.

This is an ideal retreat location for anyone who enjoys fishing, hiking, camping, canoeing, hunting, or just enjoying quiet tranquility in Ontario’s wilderness. This area is part of Ontario’s Wildlife Management Unit 50 and is full of large mammals such as bear, moose, and white tailed deer. Beaver Lake, part of the Magnetawan River system, is minutes away, providing a wonderful resource for fishing and canoeing. For the hunter, the surrounding woodlands are well populated with white-tailed deer, moose, and black bear. And for the winter fun-lover, there are nearby facilities for downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling: Hidden Valley Resort (downhill skiing) and Arrowhead Provincial Park (cross-country skiing) are both minutes away and an OFSC maintained snowmobile trail is almost at your doorstep. This property also has excellent investment potential. Real estate values in “cottage country” are climbing as more and more baby boomers seek retirement properties. Timber rights come with the property. There is some commercial value to the existing trees.

Timber & Mineral Rights

Timber and mineral rights come with the property. The vendor will retain a 2.5% net smelter return should a mine be located and precious metals are produced and derived from this property.
