This newly, custom-built European A-Frame sits on 90 acres of mixed hardwood forest, backing onto crown land that connects to Algonquin Park. Located 30 minutes from North Bay, this off-grid haven is a dream for nature lovers and homesteaders alike. Crafted with European eco-friendly materials and pristine carpentry, this home features triple-pane tilt-turn windows, heavy-duty interior doors, and a triple-deadbolt front door. The 14" thick walls, HRV system, and slab-on-grade design ensure exceptional air-tightness and energy efficiency. South-facing windows optimize passive solar heating in winter, while the north-side bedrooms stay cool in the summer. Enjoy the comfort of modern off-grid living without any sacrifices with this highly efficient new home and large solar system that supports all major home appliances without costly utility bills. Featuring a brand-new, state-of-the-art 13kw standby quiet home Cummins generator that kicks on automatically as needed. When the propane boiler is used to heat the in-floor system, annual utilities including the propane generator and propane stove total $1200 altogether. When the outdoor wood boiler is used, burning dead-fall from the property, propane is only used for the cooking propane stove and generator, totaling $300-500 per year (depending on your usage). These are your only utility bills. Designed for sustainable living, the property includes gardens, a fruit orchard (apple, pear, plum, hazelbert), a chicken coop, and livestock shelter. A winding 1,000 ft driveway recently topped with A-gravel leads to a private setting with a seasonal waterfall, pond, and exposed moss-covered bedrock. Explore 3 km of established trails, several hunting blinds, and a 15x23 cabin with a sugar shack, generator shed, and outhouse. The land attracts moose and deer annually, ideal for hunters. Built in 2023, with 2025 updates including: whole-home generator, eco/zero VOC floors and trim, upstairs bath, new fridge, deck, and landscaping.
