CRAVING PEACE, PRIVACY AND A PLACE TO UNPLUG? This is your escape. If your idea of cottage life is solitude, self-sufficiency, and silence, this 5-acre slice of Smokehouse Island might be exactly what you didn't know you were looking for. Smokehouse Island (Island No. 10) is a large island just north of Whiskey Island and separated from it by Smokehouse Channel. It contains over 40 acres, thickly wooded with cedar, tamarac and spruce trees. This property offers a comfortable, well-kept off-grid setup designed for simple, quiet living. It's real, practical, and ready for someone who craves simplicity and connection to the land. Here, the shallow shoreline isn't for swimming laps or waterskiing, but it frames your 350-foot panoramic view of the water like a living painting. This well-maintained 3-season cottage is located on Lake Huron in the fishing hamlet of Oliphan and has been renovated throughout! Fully insulated, new flooring, pellet stove, a large functional eat-in kitchen with electric refrigerator, propane stove. Enjoy the Traeger smoker and Weber BBQ when cooking outside on your front or back deck. Theres a 3-piece bathroom with a composting toilet, a loft-style bedroom upstairs plus bonus bunkie for guests and a tool shed (previously a sleeping cabin with built-in bunk beds). Solar-powered, rainwater-fed, and totally off-grid, this is a lifestyle shift. Offered completely furnished and ready for possession. Access is shallow, but manageable; the seller is offering their pontoon boat, specially suited for navigating these waters, as a separate purchase to make getting back and forth simple and reliable. Discover the charm of a self-sufficient getaway where privacy, peace, and practicality come together in a truly down-to-earth retreat. It's for someone who wants space, stillness, and a slower pace. It's not for everyone. But for the right person? IT'S EVERYTHING!
