This lovely wooded two acre lot is prime commercial or residential property. It is located on highway 62, the main southern access route to the Eastern Ontario tourism district, on the outskirts of the lakeside village of Combermere..... forty minutes from the east gate of Algonquin Park in the province of Ontario, Canada. The lot has 174 feet of frontage on the Madawaska River with boat access into Kaminiskeg Lake to the north. The river is also navigable to the south where it connects with the York River, giving access to the wild beauty of the Conroy Marsh (a protected wildlife sanctuary and conservation area). This covers an area of fifty miles of navigable waterway.
The lot was originally purchased with the idea of running boat cruises on the waterway. As the property is bounded by the Madawaska River and Highway 62, the commercial viability of the location was quite apparent. These "crossroads" locations are becoming increasingly hard to find near any of the major summer recreation areas.The Maggie II is the only commercial cruise boat filling the demand for tours on this unique watercourse.
The Madawaska Valley is an area known for its natural beauty , with clean lakes and rivers, good sandy beaches, hills and forests. Only two hours from Ottawa, it has long been a favourite retreat for city people looking to find a stress free holiday. In addition to a dozen lodges and resorts, the interconnected waterways encompass hundreds of cottages, with thousands more on the numerous lakes within a thirty mile radius. The Bent Anchor Bar and Restaurant is the only licensed restaurant on the waterway which can be easily accessed by boat or car.
