0 McDiarmid Island N/A, The Archipelago, P0G 1K0

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the few remaining undeveloped islands in the unique Pointe au Baril cottage vicinity. This entire 7-acre island (surveyed as 6.9 acres), is situated at the northern end of a small bay near Niweme. It is well sheltered from stormy weather, and away from the main Station Channel. Its predominant east-west orientation provides for ample southern exposure with south views down the bay. It is well forested with a good mix of trees and elevated granite locations suitable for building. At almost 7 acres it allows for a larger main structure, plus bunkies and out-buildings, and would make for an ideal isolated family compound. Power is already conveniently provided by submarine cable from the mainland with two locations on the island. The extensive shoreline with its numerous inlets is ideal for moorings and swimming. The deep bay on the south side can accommodate full keel sailboats and has a small sandy beach. The town of Pointe au Baril Station has a number of full-service marinas within a 10-minute boat ride to the island. Some marinas also provide water taxi service. The local community has a small grocery store, Home Hardware, liquor store, nursing station with ambulance service, library, community centre, and a transfer station. Pointe au Baril Station is approximately 2.5 hours from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Toronto International Airport by a predominantly multi-lane highway. The Pointe au Baril area is noted for its good fishing opportunities. A pleasant 15-minute boat ride through protected winding channels brings you to the historic Ojibway Club (1906), a former summertime hotel. It is the center of the local cottage community which offers a children's camp, tennis, socializing, grocery store, fuel, and dining.
