Addendum
| A remarkable opportunity awaits at 238 Chemin Hector, where 2.66 private acres and an impressive 698 feet of sandy Black River shoreline create an attainable waterfront retreat with an unmistakably exclusive feel. Surrounded by Québec wilderness and bordered by Crown land, this secluded setting offers exceptional privacy, expansive views, and the soothing rhythm of the water just beyond your door.
Designed for uncomplicated off-grid living, the charming 440-square-foot cabin presents a warm, open-concept interior with one restful bedroom. Recent improvements elevate both comfort and appearance: handsome board-and-batten siding, replacement windows throughout most of the cabin, foam insulation beneath the floor, and blown-in attic insulation. In the kitchen, discreet under-counter and task lighting add function and ambience, while plumbing and on-demand hot water bring welcome convenience to wilderness living.
A 400-watt solar system supplies efficient power without compromising the serenity of the surroundings. A brand-new outhouse and pit provide practical facilities, and a generous shed keeps fishing equipment, paddles, tools, and seasonal essentials neatly stored. Every element supports a simpler pace, with fewer distractions and more time for what matters.
Along the shoreline, each day can unfold differently. Begin with coffee beside the river, slip a kayak into calm water, cast a line, or spend a quiet afternoon swimming from your own sandy frontage. As evening settles across the Black River, gather outdoors beneath an open sky and let the landscape provide the entertainment. The substantial acreage also leaves room for a bunkie, trailer, tents, and relaxed gatherings, allowing family and friends to share the experience without crowding the peaceful atmosphere.
Quietly positioned in Waltham, the property feels wonderfully removed while offering a versatile base for weekend escapes, seasonal stays, and future possibilities. Here, nature is not a distant amenity; it is the defining feature of every memorable stay. Few offerings combine this much shoreline, acreage, privacy, and improved off-grid comfort at such an approachable price point. It is a compelling chance to secure a generous piece of waterfront and enjoy a lifestyle that feels truly priceless.
Come experience the stillness, beauty, and rare value of this new Black River listing--an intimate cabin retreat with a grand natural backdrop. Arrange your private visit to 238 Chemin Hector and see how elegantly affordable waterfront ownership can feel. |
