If you are looking for that
typical lake-front getaway, with the hundred feet of sandy beach lake frontage,
with the power boats buzzing, lawnmowers chugging and chain saws rattling, with
your neighbors barbeque wafting and ghetto-blaster adding to the kafuffle
gnawing at your nerves - then keep on looking.
If however, you are interested in
a true getaway from the every day, a tranquil sanctuary away from the hustle
bustle of common place cottage life, away from the hoards and rowdy party types,
a pristine wilderness on a private lake you can truly call your own, where the
Great Blue Heron nests, the beavers play and the Osprey and your spirit soars, a
timeless place that takes you right back to the time before the white man came,
a nature-lovers dream come true, then your search is over.
Situated in the heart of the
Halliburton Highlands, a scenic and never congested two hour and fifteen minute
commute from Toronto Heron Lake is uniquely positioned in Algonquin Park’s
back yard. Bounded by the Leslie R. Frost (Ministry of Natural Resources) lands
to the west, Crown lands and the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Preserve to the
north and east which abut Algonquin Park, Heron offers literally thousands of
hectares of pristine wilderness to explore by foot or canoe that can only be
realistically accessed from this property. In the immediate vicinity are four
wilderness lakes forming an ancient canoe route, the first of which is yours
with access to the property afforded through your private and gated road. The
key to this gate brings you to a world you will not believe could exist in the
twentieth century.
The tranquil beauty of the
expansive landscape of the waterfront is graced with a gentle entry sandy beach
perfect for young children who can while away endless hours hunting for frogs,
tadpoles or fish from their own floating island dock. Explore the creek and the
waterfalls that can be heard from your front door or venture out endlessly and
enjoy the solitude of the wilderness.
