Anyone have info on these?

I can describe in details the one listed for $6,870.88. Couple of months ago I was looking for a cottage, which is apparently only 5 lots away from the tax sale property on Pioneer Road. It?s located on the intake of Macllean Lake. There are about 20-30 cottages on that intake (little bay). 4 or 5 cottages were for sale.  From the bay you can go to the Maclean Lake and then all the way to Glouchester Pool. The bridge you have to go under is about 8-9 feet high. The bay is very shallow 4-5 feet closer to the bridge and only 1-2 feet towards the end. It is OK to swim and put you boat only closer to the bridge, although the bottom is very soft and sqwashy under you feet.
  I visited the property in January, so I got all the info from the local resident. The guy lives at the last house on Pioneer road. The road, which is a private road, ends at his drive way. The guy? daughter, son-in-law and dog Hugo live there year around, so even in January when I visited the cottage for sale (next to his property) the road was ploughed. I would say that the bay ends at his house, then becomes a marsh. People who live there value their place for privacy and nature. They cannot swim, it?s too shallow and weedy for the boat. Their property is the last decent one on the row.  Needless to say, that the properties behind them are worthless. They don?t even look like waterfronts, 1 foot deep water completely covered with vegetations, and the lots itselves are very low and swampy.  The tax sale property is 4th from the house farther down. So there is no road to the property, you have to trespass 3 more lots to get to the tax sale one. And when you finally there you are in the middle of swamp.   It makes me wonder why this kind of property didn?t go for tax sale much earlier.

I will be happy if this info saves somebody?s time and money. This is a great forum, I learned a lot and I wanted to share my knowledge. Good luck to all.
