Property Description
Some properties are built. This one was made â by hand, over fifty years, by an owner who knew exactly what he wanted a lake cabin to feel like, and never let it become anything else. Tucked into 136 feet of sun-soaked, low-bank waterfront on Village Bay Lake, this water-access-only cabin sits inside Main Lake Provincial Park â a rare, protected pocket where the loudest sound is a paddle dipping into still water. No cars, no road noise, no outboards over 9.9hp. Just kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and a lake as good for swimming as chasing cutthroat trout.The cabin is post-and-pier, cleared around every support for easy inspection. Walls are insulated, floors are double-layered 3/4'' wood, built for warmth through island winters. The kitchen is entirely hand-built, cooking done on a new propane 3-burner cooktop or the wood stove when you want it the old way. Look closer and you'll find details you can't manufacture: windows salvaged from a 19th-century Victoria home, shipped to the island and installed by the original owner himself. A mid-century modern fireplace piece. A woodstove that still earns its keep. The home carries the patina of someone who built it to last, not impress â held up beautifully, in the owner's words, ''good nick.'' Outside, a newer dock and a substantial new deck give room to take it all in. Stone and wood staircases wind to the water, where a lakeside sauna waits after a swim. A separate meditation house, roughly 8'x8' with its own balcony, suits a quiet sit or a cozy tent when guests visit. A galvanized steel roof tops it off. Included: a 12-foot tin boat with a 5-year-old 6hp Mercury motor, ready for the lake from day one. The cabin has stayed true to its off-grid roots, but the groundwork is there to bring it forward â running water, solar, and an incinerator toilet are all achievable upgrades. The original owner simply preferred it rustic. A genuine, fifty-year labour of love, facing southwest for all-day sun, reachable only by water. (id:32467)
