About this home

7573 Dog Lake Road, Thunder Bay Remote Area

Dreaming of a simpler life? This one-of-a-kind off-grid home sits on approximately 65 acres in the heart of the boreal forest, just north of Lappe and only 30 minutes from County Fair. Here, you'll find the peace, privacy, and connection to nature that so many people are searching for—but rarely find. A creek winds through the property, feeding a large pond just a short walk away. Spend your days gardening, exploring your own land, watching wildlife, or relaxing by the water. It's the kind of place where the only sounds are the wind in the trees, birdsong, and the creek flowing by. Built in 2000, the 1.75-storey timber frame and log home offers approximately 1,250 sq. ft. of comfortable year-round living space. Inside you'll find warm pine log walls, a cozy fireplace, a brand-new kitchen, renovated bathroom with beautiful soaker tub, and plenty of character throughout. Large windows bring the outdoors in and fill the home with natural light. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, with a balcony off the primary, perfect for taking in the morning breeze. Designed for self-sufficient living, the property is fully off-grid with a solar power system, brand-new battery bank and backup generator (2026), drilled well, septic system, and propane appliances including the radiant furnace, range, refrigerator, on demand hot water heater, and dryer. Enjoy the freedom and low taxes that come with living independently while still being within commuting distance of Thunder Bay. Additional buildings include a 20’X22’ 1.5 storey insulated detached garage, a future 8'X24' insulated sauna building and studio overlooking the creek, and a storage shed. Whether you're looking for a back-to-the-land lifestyle, a private family retreat, a remote-work sanctuary, or simply a place to unplug and reconnect with what matters, this rare property offers a lifestyle that can't be replicated in town.
