Welcome to Lot 34 Riga Rd, a unique 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom property tucked into a quiet, privately owned community just outside Alliston. Set on a generous lot surrounded by mature trees and greenery, this property offers plenty of privacy, outdoor space, and potential for a year-round home, cottage getaway, or recreational retreat. The home offers a functional main-level layout along with a finished basement that provides valuable additional living space. Downstairs, you'll find a spacious rec room that can easily be used as a family room, home gym, games room, hobby space, or whatever best suits your lifestyle. The basement also offers plenty of storage, a cozy stove, and a convenient walk-out basement door providing direct access to the outdoors. A detached garage adds even more space for vehicles, tools, recreational equipment, or additional storage. For buyers with vision, this property is a great opportunity to update, renovate, and make it your own, while enjoying a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Located near the Nottawasaga River, the area is known for steelhead fishing and offers year-round activities including kayaking, hiking, bird watching, skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. Mansfield Ski Club is approximately 15 minutes away, while shopping, dining, and everyday amenities are just a short drive away in Alliston. Barrie and Collingwood are also less than an hour away for additional recreation and entertainment. Ownership Disclosure: This property is being sold as a share purchase rather than a traditional freehold real estate transaction. Ownership of the shares grants the purchaser full and exclusive rights to use and renovate the property - the home and property are not shared. Conventional mortgages are not available, although alternative lending may be available. There is also no land transfer tax, and short-term rentals are not permitted, helping preserve the peace, privacy, and character of the community.
