Northern Ontario real estate offers quirky finds along Highway 11

From Temiskaming Shores to Hearst, real estate along Northern Ontario’s Highway 11 corridor is anything but ordinary. A quick glance at current listings reveals everything from colourful homes and lakeside businesses, to a vacant lot where the only trace of the former house is its standing chimney. In Fauquier-Strickland, a vibrant home splashed in pink, turquoise, and lime green just hit the market for $199,900. Listed less than a week ago, the home comes with property taxes that are just over $1,500 a year. The Lakehouse on Sesekinika Lake is on the market for $849,000. With 430 feet of shoreline on 3.2 acres, this commercial-residential hybrid includes a restaurant, bar, event space, and four motel units. It’s been on the market for four days and comes with annual property taxes just under $1,000.
