Welcome to 9 Chemin Murdock, a true hidden gem on the tranquil shores of Lac Long in Thorne, Quebec. This rustic 3-season cottage offers authentic lakeside charm and unmatched potential for those looking to personalize a getaway property.

Nestled on a west-facing lot, the sunsets are to be found here - casting golden light across the aqua-blue waters. Whether you're enjoying the view from the shoreline or sipping your morning coffee in the screened-in porch, the setting is peaceful and serene.

The 850 sq. ft. bungalow features two cozy bedrooms, a full bathroom, and original pine floors that add warmth and character to the space. The open-concept living and dining areas extend into the screened porch, offering ample space for entertaining or relaxing while staying protected from the elements.

The metal roof provides durability, and the overall structure is solid--but this is a property that invites a little elbow grease. Whether you're ready to renovate or restore at your own pace, this cottage is perfect for the buyer who doesn't mind rolling up their sleeves.

Set on a 14,588 sq. ft. lot, the topography is relatively flat behind the cottage and transitions to a gentle descent down to the waterfront--ideal for safe, easy access to the lake, whether by canoe, kayak, or just dipping your feet in the water.

Only 1h15 from Ottawa and a quick 15-minute drive to the amenities of Shawville, the location strikes the perfect balance between escape and accessibility. It's rare to find waterfront at this price point, especially with such clarity, color, and tranquility.
