So let me ge this straight.... talk to as many neighbours as much as possible right...  Please...., Your point was made, but for those of you who are like me and have half a brain in your head, if you do end up talking to someone "NEVER" mention tax sales...are we all clear (CYRSTAL).  This I felt was a unique area that has multiple properties up for sale and direct questions were only asked about those properties with some general questions about neighbours. Does this meet with your approval... oh wait I really don't give a crap but keep up the rants, its good for the blood pressure.

Your bang on with the land dispute issue.  When I spoke with the neighbour (don't know if you saw the new fence's) there is more than 1 dispute going on in this area.  At a minimum of 14K, it becomes pricey for a camping lot with communal property at best.
the driveway that is unused does appear that it may belong to the cottage and could potentially be used again to get around the scrap yard but just try enjoying your own little cottage in that area with out putting up some high hedges or creating more problems with the neighbours.  Only good thing is a possible purchase for resale to the current family that owns the year round residence but does not seem to own any waterfront.  They may already know its up for tax sale and be bidding on it themselves.

Good luck happy bidding.

Correct 3 properties 1 year round residence away from the water, and 2 cottages on the water.  If you want a better look, take the next driveway north into the the area, it has a sign for sale of a cottage through Prudential.  that cottage is empty and one of the locals walked me around it.  It sits right beside the tax property so you can get a good look.  I mentioned nothing about the tax sale of course but got some good info.  Property not to my taste but maybe somones.

Just the opportunity I've been waiting for. Little log cabin on a lake (OntarioTaxSales.ca website).  Okay, I'm not near the area and if anyone on this site is close to the area or has seen it, please share information.  Hope it isn't redeemed, not perfect, photos of cabin indicate it needs a little work but its a seasonal dwelling on a lake, nice location for a summer cottage.  Definitely putting in a bid, if it goes to sale.

Sasha,

New to this site so sorry if this does not come post correctly.  I am just starting out looking at tax properties so I decided to take a drive to the waterfront lot as I live about 1/2 hour away.  Unique lot at best.  Property is down a long shared drive (see google earth to locate). Once you drive down towards the lake you come across a junk yard or sorts with a bunch of broken down tractors, junk, fridges etc.... past that is a large year round home and garage that sits back from the water.  Once you drive past that directly ahead of you is 2 cottages (both log).  The property in question is on the south side closer to the water with the second on the North side set back a little further more or less directly North of the 3 sheds belonging to the cottage in question.  The pictures provided for the tax sale are deceiving as the total waterfront is split between the two cottages.  Neither of the cottages have been used in a few years as I found out by local residence.  (also is more than 1 dispute about who owns what by way of lane ways in the area).  Further, check out web site for stopdump41.com as there is a large dispute ongoing in the area about a proposed site that will effect the lake due to run off.

Will this property redeem.  I would guess not as locals indicated that it is elderly owners who have not been around for years.  Looks like all boats, snow blowers etc are that of home owner that is not on the water.  Also looks like they may be ones cutting the lawn.

Lake is shallow and spring fed so very clean.  Good size lake with definite signs of potential but this area is the other side of the tracks so to say. Balance of the lake shows allot of nice properties.  Long winded but hope this helps,  good luck
