Cottage ♦ 128 McDowell Lane, Horton ♦

Hi Vince, I’m throwing up this page so you get an idea of the cottage and it’s setting. Photos are random ones I have, I haven’t been there since 2018 so I don’t know what’s what right now inside. It’s been used by my family and they don’t always let me know what’s going on there. I think there’s going to be a major cleanup required by me to get it into selling shape. So that’s what I’ll be doing as soon as I’m back there.

Land Details
  1. Originally one piece of 16 acres. One acre sold to my aunt and uncle.
  2. Leftover parcel subdivided into 2 parcels: my sister has one and I have the other. But from what I see on plans seems we each have 4.62 acres, which is confusing to me if the initial parcel was 16 acres.
  3. Hydro poles into both cottages across my land I believe.
  4. Well: Shared well. I thought it was on my sister’s property but not sure after looking at plans. Dad said well is on my sister’s property.
  5. Driveway into cottage: Shared. Dad said was on my property, but seems it may be a bit on my sister’s property at the beginning.
  6. Circular driveway at cottage with lots of parking area.
  7. I believe that an additional cottage may be built legally, but buyer would have to check with Horton to confirm.
Why Mushroom and Chipmunk Photos

I’m a mushroom forager and the orange mushrooms are called lobster mushrooms. Very desirable and delicious. Other edible mushrooms include Chicken of the Woods. The two together are so good! I know mushrooms and foraging are becoming mainstream here, don’t know about there, but these are a find. I had found 2 lobsters in BC that weren’t done in by bugs and at the cottage in 2015, after a summer rainfall, I counted over 70! 42 were perfect. So I was in heaven. And the chipmunks – just adorable and so very friendly.
