0 Fern Glen Road Mcmurrich/monteith, Ontario P0A 1Y0

$199,000

102 acres of uninterrupted Almaguin wilderness, newly severed and ready for whatever you have in mind. This is the kind of privacy that's hard to describe until you're standing in it - no neighbours in sight, no sound but the wind through the trees. The property sits on a year-round, municipally maintained road with approximately 1,680 feet of road frontage, so access is straightforward in every season. Hydro is available roughly 750 metres up the road if you want to connect, or the acreage lends itself beautifully to an off-grid build. Full cell reception on site means you can be remote without being disconnected. The terrain rolls between high and low ground, all of it covered in a mix of hardwood and evergreen forest. At 102 acres, there's room to build a private home or cottage, establish trails, manage a woodlot, or simply hold land that gives you space to breathe. The boat launch on Round Lake is just 1.7 km away - a two-minute drive - giving you easy access to swimming, fishing, and boating in the summer, or going for a rip on the snowmobile trails in the winter. Day-to-day essentials are about 20 minutes away in Burks Falls, and Huntsville is roughly 30 minutes for anything else you need. Close enough to be practical, far enough to feel like you've left everything behind. If you've been looking for space and privacy in Almaguin, this one is worth a look! (id:63772)

0 Fern Glen Road is a newly severed 102-acre parcel of vacant land in McMurrich/Monteith, listed at $199,000.

The lot has roughly 1,680 feet of frontage on Fern Glen Road, a year-round municipally maintained road, so getting in and out is straightforward in every season.

The Land at 0 Fern Glen Road

From a valuation standpoint, that mix is worth understanding before you buy rather than after — we’re glad to walk it with you and talk through what’s usable.

Zoning at 0 Fern Glen Road is RU (rural), confirmed with the township. Annual property taxes are currently $0, reflecting the recent severance.

Building on Vacant Land in McMurrich/Monteith

One of the first questions buyers ask about a parcel like this is what it takes to build. In McMurrich/Monteith, the process is straightforward once you know the steps, and the township is helpful to deal with.

As with any build, it’s worth checking that your specific plans fit the permitted uses and setbacks before you start — you can begin on the McMurrich/Monteith planning page. From a valuation standpoint, knowing exactly what a lot allows before you buy is one of the most useful things you can do, and we’re always glad to help you sort through it.

Building permits in the township are handled through the online Cloudpermit system, and the full requirements are laid out on the township building department page. As a rough guide, the township calculates residential permit fees at $12 per $1,000 of construction value. Their own example works out to roughly $2,700 for a 1,000-square-foot home. On top of that, expect a one-time $600 driveway entrance permit, which includes your civic address sign, and a septic permit — around $500 for a standard tank-and-bed system through the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority. A drilled well is a separate cost through a private contractor. None of it is complicated, but it helps to budget for it up front.
