425 Highway 357

A sweet, 2-lot package awaits its new owners. This homestead property has been in this family for generations and includes a gorgeous riverfront lot directly across the road. You can hear the roaring rapids from everywhere on the property; so peaceful here. The 1 bed(potentially 2 bed)old cottage home has potential to fix up, reconfigure and/or live in, while building a dream home on the hillside overlooking the river, or live in permanently. The cottage needs repair but fairly solid and with costs to build these days, it's worth exploring fixing it up(buyer to verify). It could make a nice Bunkie or cottage with a functioning spring-fed well and septic already in place(buyer to verify). The "Mill lot" across the road housed a water-powered lumber mill in the past. Today, it is used for recreation purposes with amazing fishing in several of the salmon pools along the river including the one right off the island. The building lot has an incredible amount of large granite rock; could save money and make a nice retaining wall or garden area. You can watch eagles, hawks, gulls, and cormorants along with several other species of birds fishing in the river too. There is an abundance of wildlife in and around the river as well as behind the home in the hills above and beyond that extend into an uninhabited wilderness. The river is well known for fishing,canoeing,kayaking and you'll have direct access to do it all. The property is close to an ice rink, gym, ball fields, library, banks, eateries, bakery, the Musq. hiking trail system(41km of trails) and the growing village of Musq. Harbour. Also close by, a fire and police station,pharmacies,hospital,gas station,Tim Hortons,churches,and schools,plus,plus,plus! 20 min drive to Martinique provincial park and beach known for year-round hiking and surfers.
