1020 1021 Zig Zag Island

About This Property

Exceptional privacy, spectacular shoreline and newer construction come together at this unique two-lot retreat on the north shore of Zig Zag Island in Clearwater Bay, Lake of the Woods. With Crown land bordering both sides, there are no adjacent private landowners and an outstanding natural buffer from the nearest neighbours. The two lots, including owned shore road allowances, total 1.85 acres with 336 feet of incredible shoreline. Built close to the water, the cottage enjoys beautiful lake views and prime summer sunsets, with easy access from the cottage to the dock. Completed in 2022, the seasonal cottage offers 3 beds and 1 bath, with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and a bright, open living, dining and kitchen area and double-sided fireplace into the attached sunroom. The elevated construction provides a full-height mechanical and storage room below, while the thoughtful design makes excellent use of its grandfathered location near the shoreline. A separate 1-bed, 1-bath sleeping cabin provides comfortable guest accommodations with its own kitchenette. Additional improvements include a large, sheltered steel-pipe dock with excellent water depth, a fully operational marine railway, storage shed, modern septic and water systems, and a convenient compressed-air setup that makes seasonal winterizing remarkably simple. Despite its private island setting, access is easy: approximately 4 km or a 7-minute boat ride from Pye’s Landing or Rockeries Marina through protected, easily navigated waters. A rare opportunity to own a remarkably private Lake of the Woods retreat with newer construction, extensive shoreline and the kind of setting that is increasingly difficult to find.
