1046 Placid Lane, Algonquin Highlands, ON K0M 1S0

This property offers a rare mix of immediate recreational usability and long-term custom build potential on prestigious Maple Lake. Situated on a prime, level lot featuring 167 feet of hard-packed sandy shoreline with a gradual entry, the waterfront provides a safe environment for small children and family pets while framing breathtaking, all-day southwest sunset views. The land’s value is anchor-backed by extraordinary infrastructure, starting with a rare, grandfathered 16′ x 8′ waterside dry boathouse featuring dual doors and a concrete floor-a footprint right at the water’s edge that cannot be replicated under modern setback bylaws. For future development, an existing septic system is already installed and rated for a three-bedroom home, potentially saving significant capital, permitting effort, and time for anyone planning to build their ultimate custom retreat. Completing the lot is a 24′ x 12′ detached garage with a metal roof and cement floor, along with a separate wood shed, all tucked away on a quiet, private cul-de-sac off a year-round township road. While you plan for the future, a modest, functional cottage allows for immediate summer enjoyment with 100 amp breaker panel. The cabin’s layout includes open beams, skylights, wood floors, a stone fireplace insert, two bedrooms, a cozy loft, a three-piece bath, and a 22′ x 6′ screened-in waterside porch. As part of a connected multi-lake chain offering miles of boating and excellent fishing for Lake Trout and Bass, Maple Lake spans over 800 acres with depths up to 120 feet. Conveniently located near a public boat launch, the local airport, West Guilford essentials, and Haliburton Village, this is a turnkey waterfront investment.
