Original Remarks

Welcome to your private 43-acre retreat in the unorganized Township of Redbridge, just 15 minutes from central North Bay. This rare property offers incredible freedom with no building permits required, exceptionally low taxes, and no water or sewer charges, providing a level of value and flexibility you won't find in town. A scenic river winds directly through the property, home to trout, bass, and other native species, perfect for fishing or simply relaxing beside the water. The cantilevered footbridge offers a picturesque view and connects to private trails ideal for hiking, ATVing, and snowmobiling. The all-brick raised bungalow has been thoughtfully updated over the years with a Vermont Castings wood-burning insert (2014), new shingles (2017), upper windows and patio door (2018), furnace (2018), lower-level windows and back door (2019), and a wrap-around back deck (2020). More recent upgrades include a screened-in gazebo (2021), refreshed front deck and steps, new kitchen countertop and backsplash, and two fully renovated bathrooms (2023 and 2024). Inside, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, along with a sunken living room featuring a cozy wood fireplace. The lower level adds a fourth bedroom, a three-piece bath, and a spacious office or fifth bedroom, plus ample storage and a convenient wood chute from the attached garage. Whether you envision this as a private family getaway, an Airbnb investment with cabins by the river, or a place to enjoy country living just outside the city, this property checks all the boxes and more.
