Nobel, ON · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Tucked away in the heart of Carling Township, this 44-acre private property offers exclusive, private access to a pristine 10-acre lake entirely off the beaten path. The lake is surrounded by our land and Crown land — no public roads, no boat launches, no other access points. The only way in? Through our property. You’ll have the lake to yourself. The Lake: This is not your average campsite pond. At 10 acres, the lake is large enough to paddle, fish, and explore freely. Its waters are calm, clear, and undisturbed. Whether you’re launching a canoe at dawn, casting a line in the afternoon, or watching stars reflect off the surface at night, this lake will be the centerpiece of your trip. • 🎣 Fishing in a rarely-touched, naturally stocked lake • 🛶 Paddling & swimming with zero crowds • 🦅 Wildlife watching — loons, herons, eagles, and more • 🌙 Stargazing over open water with zero light pollution The Land: Our 44 acres span a remarkable mix of terrain — calm lakefront, open meadows, and exposed Canadian Shield rock formations with sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness. Each corner has its own character. Beyond our boundary, 200 acres of adjoining Crown land is open to explore — hike deeper into the forest, discover hidden clearings, or wander wherever curiosity takes you. • 🏔️ Canadian Shield outcroppings — climb, scramble, and take in the views • 🌿 Open meadows perfect for morning walks or afternoon lounging • 🌲 Dense forest trails leading into untouched backcountry • 🏕️ Lakefront clearings ideal for campfires and stargazing Who This Is For: Perfect for those who want the “I had a whole lake to myself” story. Families, couples, anglers, paddlers, and anyone craving genuine solitude in wild Ontario. A Note on Access: Because the lake is enclosed by private and Crown land with no other entry points, guests are the only people with access during their stay. Please treat this rare environment with care. Stay Connected: You won’t be out of reach — cell signal is strong throughout the property, thanks to a nearby cell tower. Peace of mind, without sacrificing peace and quiet.

Great for canoes, kayaks, bird and wildlife watching with spectacular star gazing. This property was part of an old homestead and as such I am still finding things so please respect the caution tape. Some finds are treasures (European Grapes, Bergamot, French Roses, Asparagus, Rhubarb, Ramps, Fiddle-heads) and others not so much. I am re purposing what I can and collecting the rest for disposal as I nurture this land back to what it was meant to be, paradise. There is an outdoor shower available as well.
