2349 N Baptise Lake Road Hastings Highlands, Ontario K0L 1C0

$679,000

Tucked away in complete privacy overlooking beautiful Baptiste Lake, this turnkey year-round home or cottage offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in nature through every season. With surprisingly low taxes and excellent short-term rental potential, it's ideally suited as a specialty forest retreat, wellness escape, or forest bathing destination where guests can unplug, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Set high on the hill with breathtaking lake views, this is not a waterfront property, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without the higher carrying costs often associated with lakefront ownership. Accessed by a year-round municipally maintained road, the property welcomes you with a long winding driveway through mature maple trees, creating a truly peaceful and secluded setting.The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom with a warm, inviting interior centred around a cozy propane fireplace. Step onto the deck and relax in the screened-in covered hot tub while taking in panoramic views of Baptiste Lake. A separate accessory studio with running water from the drilled well adds exceptional flexibility as a home office, artist's studio, wellness space, or workshop.Adding to the property's charm is a traditional sugar shack complete with 20+ maple taps, offering an authentic country lifestyle. A detached garage provides parking or workshop space, while a charming shed with a covered porch offers additional storage and another quiet place to enjoy the surrounding forest. Surrounded by mature forest, abundant wildlife, and complete tranquility, this unique property is equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing retreat focused on nature, relaxation, and wellness. Sold with all appliances in the main home and studio. (id:59743)
