This unique cabin at Buffalo Lake offers a full duplex-style layout, making it an ideal setup for extended family use or a seasonal rental investment. Two complete living spaces are joined by a shared wall, with a convenient interior access door allowing easy flow between both sides. Each side features 2 bedrooms, a full 4-piece bathroom, kitchen, living area, and laundry hookups. Whether you’re hosting family or renting one side while enjoying the other, the flexibility here is hard to beat. Outside, the property is set up for classic lake living. A large front deck is ready for summer BBQs, while the private, tree-lined backyard offers a fire pit area for evenings under the stars. There’s also plenty of space for RV parking, giving you even more room for guests. Location is a standout. Just a short walk to the beach, parks, and the popular Rochon Sands Snak Shak for ice cream runs, plus quick access to the nearby boat launch and provincial park. Recent upgrades include a brand new well, adding long-term value and peace of mind. A versatile property in a well-established lake community with strong recreational appeal. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
