Description
Log house (Harrison Log Homes) with a 1/2 storey sleeping loft on a quarter section of private land. Located just past the top of Woodmere Road in a beautiful and quiet setting in the forest. Legal access through adjacent property (via easement), or through crown land. This charming home is powered by solar and heated with a WETT certified woodstove. Water is supplied with a 2,500 gallon cistern with rain collection from the metal roof. There's a lagoon in place, although it's not currently connected. Current sewer is a composting toilet. Fenced yard area surrounding the dwelling with a 7' x 10' storage shed. If you've been dreaming of living off-grid in the middle of nature, this is your opportunity! Use year-round with some adjustments to the solar, water and sewer systems. (id:63159)

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
