Spectacular unique once-in-a-generation opportunity to buy the most sought after island on Lake Nippising, Ontario. Lonely Island - aptly named for its strategic location away from all the other islands is an iconic place and a recognized landmark among all who know Lake Nippising. The island retreat has been family owned for 40 years by a builder and boat maker. The interior was completely restored by the current owner to include hand hewn log home motif and hand hewn wood floors throughout and exposed post and beam construction. The two story hand made stone fireplace was created from stones found all around the island. A large and inclosed breezeway, also built with post and beam methods offers a large gathering space and casual dining option with terrific views of the island and the lake through large glass doors and windows. The breezeway connects to a boat house that has a work shop , and master suite loft. The main cabin has two guest rooms and a loft with two single beds adequate for the kids.

The island has a diesel generator but has been meticulously wired for solar/battery power for most needs and lighting. Propane is used for stove and fridge. The island is uniquely shaped to provide a protected mini harbor for two boat docks each having a boat lift. The shoreline is varied with large granite Canadian Shield surface, rocky shores, a pebble beach and even a natural occurring sandy beach. Large trees, coniferous and evergreen are found throughout the island and a walking trail that circumnavigates the island is maintained by the owner. The center of the island is cleared and grassy but has also been the location of a large garden since the soil is quite fertile. A single separate storage building acts as a wood shed and a small wood shop with table saw and storage for mill work. The island has unobstructed views of the Manitou islands and the city of North Bay - especially at night. Sunsets are spectacular from everywhere on the island. A Kubota front end loader tractor is kept in the island boat house and could also convey.

Access to the island from the mainland is also included from a mainland waterfront property. The owners of four nearby islands created a “four island” partnership and purchased a lot on a protected cove and this owner built a four bay boat house with four boat docks. Each owner has access to plenty of parking indoor or outdoor and place to store your boat in the summer and winter at the mainland boathouse. Each boat house also has a private loft area for additional dry storage.
