Rainy Lake Island

USD 725,000.00

Just a mile from Ontario’s border with Minnesota in picturesque Rainy Lake lies this adorable 3/4 acre island with two buildings built for year-round living, and located just 400 feet off the mainland for easy access all year. The 1,800-square-foot main building features two large bedrooms, a large bathroom with a soaker tub and walk-in shower, and a bright kitchen with a pantry. A beautiful sunroom next to the living room and dining room offers spectacular lake, sunset and sunrise views throughout the seasons. The 1,100-square-foot second building has a large family room, an exercise/bedroom space, a bathroom, a kitchen, and an infrared sauna. An eight-person hot tub is just outside on the lake’s edge, the perfect place to watch the sun set.

Another of the property’s top outdoor highlights is the large wood-fired oven, ideal for delicious bread, pizza, and anything else you can imagine. The oven is set on a natural lakeside bedrock patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A unique custom diving board sits at the far point of the island, alongside a swimming dock and house. The gorgeous island has been completely landscaped with natural materials that require minimal maintenance, and includes paths, gardens, firepits, and a unique hand-built pond, which circulates water from and back into the lake. The island comes with power, a water filter system, a septic system, and free high-speed Internet service, and also features plenty of docking and a dockside shed.

65-mile-long Rainy Lake is the fifth largest inland lake in Ontario, covering more than 225,000 acres and boasting over 2,200 islands, more than 2,000 of which are in Canada. A beloved site for world-class fishing, the lake is also fantastic for canoeing and kayaking, and makes an amazing natural skating rink in wintertime. The island offers easy boating access to resorts and marinas on both sides of the international border, with excellent spots for fishing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing nearby.
