Cottage of the Week: $110,000 for a cute cabin in an old lakefront resort near Haliburton
12 Chateau Woodland
Neighbourhood: Haliburton, Ontario
Agent: Karen Nimigon, Century 21 Granite Realty Group
Price: $110,000
The Place: A 300-square-foot cabin and shared ownership of Chateau Woodland, a old resort overlooking Kashagawigamog Lake near Haliburton. Everyone who owns one of these former rental cottages pays a small yearly fee to cover the property’s taxes and general maintenance.
Bragging Rights: For a pretty unbeatable price, you get a cottage, the right to the water directly in front of the cottage as well as the use of two beaches, an inground pool and the main lodge.
Big Selling Point: The interior, though small, is bright and has all a couple needs, including a three-piece bathroom and a sleeping loft. If you really want extra space, the neighbouring cabin is also for sale.
Possible Deal Breaker: Prospective buyers can’t use a home mortgage to finance the purchase because of the way the property is being sold. You’ll have to find alternate methods (a line of credit, remortgaging a city home etc.) to come up with the cash.
By the Numbers: • $110,000 • 300 square feet • 2 beaches • 1 bedroom • 1 bathroom • 1 parking spot • 1 in-ground swimming pool
