Addendum
| The cottage retains the simplicity of traditional off-grid living, featuring a small solar panel that provides basic charging capacity for devices like cell phones or battery packs. A vintage wood cookstove is retained as a decorative feature, adding to the authentic rustic character. The kitchen is equipped with a practical hand pump for drawing water directly from the lake, and a separate bathing room features a standalone bathtub. Two skylights flood the main living area with natural light, while a third brightens the adjoining rustic kitchen. A screened veranda overlooking the lake seamlessly extends the living space outdoors, providing a sheltered sanctuary to enjoy the waterfront (about 80 metres of frontage). Additionally, the adjoining wood deck offers the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Due to the property being accessible by boat only, visits to the property will not be possible when lake conditions do not permit safe navigation by boat. Visits will not be conducted over the ice by snowmobile or other means. This period generally extends from approximately the end of October until May, depending on weather, ice and navigation conditions.
During this period, a prospective buyer may submit a promise to purchase conditional upon a visit to and satisfactory viewing of the property, including the buildings, shoreline and waterfront setting, once lake conditions permit safe access by boat. The terms and time period of any such condition shall be specified in the promise to purchase.
