About This Property

Escape from the city to this Historic Sheep farm from 1868 in the ghost village of Candytown now used as a year-round, off-grid escape. Situated in the beautiful Port Sydney area, this 1,500-square-foot rustic building has 6 bedrooms and plenty of room for the whole family to stay. 100 acres of mature bush with some clearings, 2 large ponds and trails to play on all day. Sit in the 23 X 10 screened porch and enjoy a view of the kids paddling in the water. It has wood and gas fireplaces for heat and a 2,400-watt solar panel generation setup with lithium batteries for electricity storage, plus a generator backup. Plenty of garage, shed, and workshop space to keep things out of the weather. Owners are living there year-round with a complete setup for off-grid living. Winter access is kept open by the next door neighbour. Note: The neighbor will keep the road open in winter for a fee. This property has been in the same family for generations. Follow Lynx Lake Rd to the end, and then follow the cottage road for another mile to the property. People on the neighbouring 2-100 acre lots also live off-grid.
