Cross Streets: HWY 64. ** Directions: HWY 11 N. A rare opportunity to own a landmark Northern Ontario property offering exceptional flexibility for business, residential use, or both. In Marten River, set on over 2 acres with excellent Highway 11 exposure, this Tourism Commercial property is well suited for boutique accommodations, retail, restaurant or café, outfitting services, wellness or treatment space, offices, studio use, a home-based business, or other ventures. Originally built in 1952 as the area's first Game Warden's residence, the property later operated as a general store and restaurant before being extensively renovated into the impressive live/workspace it is today. The main level features soaring vaulted log ceilings, exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, an updated kitchen with large centre island, and multiple bedrooms or private rooms that could serve as guest suites, offices, treatment rooms, staff space, or owner's living quarters. A full-height basement provides valuable workshop, storage, inventory, or expansion space. The large, detached garage/workshop offers further potential for equipment, vehicles, fabrication, trades, recreational rentals, or commercial operations. Ample parking can accommodate clients, staff, trailers, and recreational vehicles. The property is privately set back among mature trees while maintaining strong highway visibility. Landscaped grounds, a screened porch, fenced gardens, enclosed dog run, and direct access to OFSC snowmobile and ATV trails enhance its appeal as a four-season destination. Marten River Provincial Park and numerous lakes are nearby. Upgrades include windows, doors, metal siding, roof, furnace, septic system, exterior chinking, and a Tesla Powerwall whole-home backup battery system. Located 35 minutes north of North Bay and 30 minutes south of Temagami, this is a rare chance to operate a business, live on-site, or combine both in one distinctive property. (id:27476)
