Marmora Properties

Hi ~ Any info on the Marmora properties?  Sandra

Property # 3

 Island view ct    pin 401310040    is 3/4  of an acre lot  not on thanet lake ..However it appears all the owners in the neighbourhood bought half the lake front as a group.125 K in june 09 .So I presume if you win this piece you would pay 5 k or less to be a co owner.  Bizarrely enough they bought it all under their own names  ( 50 or more on the title) instead of simply forming a corp or a land trust.

Now if you want to get rich,slip and fall at the lake ,you have 50 people to sue

I suspect Thanet is motor free as Dickey beside it is larger and motor free....

Now if you had this... motor free has a new meaning  http://www.hydroptere.com/galerie_videos_hydroptere.php?id=667#centre give it  a few seconds to load
 59.116 MPH

Those French Dudes are Nuts. There's also a bunch of equally crazy Aussies sponsored by MacQuarrie going for the same records. Do you sail as well - just had our last regatta of the season. If I'd known there was crew available here...

Actually have a 31 ft express in Lake Ontario..great in the trent or georgian bay but boring as hell in Lake Ontario.
 Im looking for a 35 to 38 ft sail boat for lake ontario , something I can more or less single hand  . The deals in the US right now are insane..especially north of 40 but thats too large for what i want. I will be suprised if I dont have a sail by spring

Wife liked that fountain I posted on here ( could probably land that for under two fifty  I would think)  but the novelty would wear out real fast in something like that ( like the second trip) ..that is clearly a piece for the Med, Not lake ontario

What type of boat do you have??

[Dave2]

Maybe what you should do is change the crew often.  You know the ones with the skimpy bathing suits.  That way you will never get bored 

Of course if you get far enough out in the lake you can go "au naturel".  I believe they call that a "bare"

Now I know for sure I am not in the same league as you pros.
My 16 ft canoe wouldn't be allowed into your boat club.
I will admit the wife and I christened it back in our younger days when we were a lot more agile.

I thought at first that this was another spam posting from looking at the title.

So did I..

[farrouk]

Sorry Rob....
Perhaps I should have re-phrased my title.

SO now that we've totally hijacked the thread...

My boat is an older small POS... But I am also winning a load of regattas on it. I like that!

Its a 25' Catalina which I've built up a little with a VC-17 bottom and mylar sails. It is a rating beater, second fastest boat in our division. Helluva good time whatever the weather. When the wind pipes up we're burying rails without worrying about trashing th eboat, and when the water is flat its time to open the cooler.

I have to admit though that I am sorely tempted to get something like a J-29 or an Evelyn and put together a serious racing program up on G-Bay, with the odd trip to Chicago to do the CHi-Mac. For now though, beer can racing is plenty good enough.

If you are thinking of racing, take a look at the Pearson Flyer thats on EBay right now - I think its around $6500. ULDB, goes like hell, and not too many of them around here so no fair races. You should win every time. There are 2 of them in our marina and they can be hard to catch. No good for cruising though.

[Prospector]

I was so wrong - its only around $2K right now. Cheap, but needs work. Hire someone to core the decks its a messy job.

Was out that way this weekend so I popped around to a couple lots

pineview   absolute waste of time as property in the subdivision cant even muster 18 on mls..and they are bigger and nicer IE MLS?: 2095756  .I don't see the point of even a min bid..however a few doors down there is a nice log house being built

Paradise rd Marmora .. More or less the same but at least its 6 acres so its worth more then the min but I don't think much more. Its 1200 ft from crow lake

14 thomas...screwed up and looked at 14 mcgill (wasnt planning to be out that way so forgot papers)  If someone has pictures please post

tweed . I looked at the house on colbourne ...not my cup of tea

156 PARADISE LANE in tweed I missed too so would appreciate pictures and if anyone has details of the executions

I spoke to the municipality regarding this property. The helpful lady told me that it is apparently in really rough shape - sort of created the impression that this was general local knowledge. I got the impression that it is a knockdown. Maybe Markymark can confirm this if he was out there? I asked if it was condemmed or had work orders against it but she couldn't get the info because the building official was off and is off this week (deer hunting I presume). She did say that even though this is a private lane and not a public road, you could get a permit to build on the property. A quick MLS search shows two adjoining building lots for sale in the mid 30k range listed for several months (longer if relisted). I don't know, but I'm guessing you could buy one of these in the mid 20's or maybe less. With a reserve at over 10k the margin is pretty slim in my view.

The lady was very clear that there is no permit available for the 50 acres and that it is not buildable. I had no interest in the property in town or the really small lot.

I think that I saved myself a trip out there.

just talked to the township and 14 thomas has been redeemed.  she also said there is one more that is going to be redeemed but couldn't say until it actually has. FYI
