Down a quiet stretch of Chiswick Line in Chisholm Township — just 20 minutes south of Powassan and about 40 minutes from North Bay — this three-bedroom country home sits on just under an acre of level, open land. Look out the front windows and you'll see pasture and the occasional horse next door. Across the road is a small country church, and that's about it for neighbours. It's the kind of property where you can hear yourself think, without giving up easy access to everything Powassan and North Bay have to offer.
Inside the Home
At about 1,590 square feet over two levels, the home is move-in ready with forced air propane heat and central air. The main level has a living room with a propane fireplace, a kitchen, dining room, an office with a walkout to the yard, and an updated two-piece bath. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a fully remodelled five-piece bathroom — spacious, with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. The full basement has high ceilings and could easily be finished for more living space, or left as-is for storage or a play area. There's a cold cellar off it for preserves.
Outbuildings, Outdoor Space & Everything In Between
What really sets this property apart is what's outside. There's a detached garage, a seacan with a carport attached, a shed, and a bunkie with power to have guests year-round. Whether you need workshop space, seasonal storage, or room for a hobby, you're covered. The wraparound porch is the kind you actually use — morning coffee, end-of-day quiet, watching the field across the way. Out back, an above-ground pool makes summer easy. Drilled well, septic, and a metal roof round it out.

About Chisholm Township and Living Near Powassan
Chisholm Township is a small rural municipality in Ontario's Nipissing District, located along the Highway 11 corridor between Powassan and South River. It's a mix of open farmland, bush lots, and quiet country roads — the kind of area where properties come with real acreage, outbuildings are the norm, and neighbours tend to wave from a distance. Property taxes are low compared to nearby organized municipalities, and the rural zoning gives homeowners flexibility with how they use their land.
Powassan is about ten minutes away and covers the everyday needs — groceries, pharmacy, the arena, restaurants, and schools. It's a small community with a strong local identity and enough services that you're not driving far for the basics. The Powassan Fall Fair is one of the longest-running agricultural fairs in Ontario and draws crowds from across the region every September.
How Far Is North Bay From Chisholm Township?
North Bay is about 30 minutes from Chisholm Township on Highway 11. It's the regional hub for the Nipissing District and offers North Bay Regional Health Centre, Nipissing University, Canadore College, waterfront restaurants and seasonal festivals along the Lake Nipissing shoreline, and a full range of retail shopping. For families in Chisholm, North Bay is close enough for regular trips without feeling like a commute.
Who Buys Country Homes Near Powassan?
Buyers in the Powassan and Chisholm area tend to be families looking for more space and lower costs than what's available closer to Barrie or the GTA, retirees wanting a quieter pace with hospital access in North Bay, and remote workers who can live anywhere and prefer room to breathe. The area has seen steady interest from buyers relocating north, drawn by affordable acreage, low taxes, and a genuine rural lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find in southern Ontario. Properties with outbuildings, workshops, and extra storage — like the setup at 1466 Chiswick Line — are especially popular with buyers who need space to work from home or run a small operation from their property.
