Discover why generations of cottagers, anglers and paddlers have travelled from around the world to this coveted section of the French River, renowned for its natural beauty, world-class fishing and unforgettable wilderness experiences. Welcome to Merrangers Island-a beautiful Crown Land island with only two residences, offering unmatched privacy and endless opportunities to explore nature. This semi-remote waterfront retreat is accessed by boat from Hartley Bay Marina, just a scenic 5-mile ride away, and the watercraft is included. Set on an incredible lot with 170 feet of sheltered waterfront, the property features a sandy beach, striking rock outcroppings, excellent docking and breathtaking views. Backing onto Crown Land, you'll feel immersed in wilderness and can explore as you please. The charming three-season A-frame cottage is warm and inviting, finished with pine tongue-and-groove throughout and offered fully furnished. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms, including one with a private deck overlooking the water. A half bath is connected to a grey-water leaching pit, with an outdoor privy and solar-heated outdoor shower completing the cottage experience. Outdoor living shines with a spacious front deck and screened gazebo, plus a large side deck for entertaining. The guest bunkie offers extra sleeping space and includes a wood-burning sauna, change room and front deck. Modern conveniences include dual solar systems, a Honda generator, internet and cell service. Included are an 18-foot Lund Alaskan with 90 HP Suzuki, a 14-foot Mirrocraft with 25 HP Mercury, a 4x4 quad, plus an extensive collection of toys, tools and full chattel list. Lovingly maintained and completely turnkey, this is more than a cottage-it's a legacy property where lifelong memories are made. Opportunities on this section of the French River are rare.
