This is a particularly beautiful 1.39-acre building lot in the upper village of Field. The land slopes from Gerald Street down to the Pike River near the point where the old CNR Rail Trail bridges the Pike River, which is near the Sturgeon River. The property is walking distance to the Riverview Market general store and LCBO outlet, the newly covered ice arena, Smokey's River Shack eatery and the municipal boat launch on Hwy 64. The old mobile home on this lot was demolished in 2021 but the hydro, septic tank and well remain and can, with municipal/hydro etc. approvals, be reconnected. The zoning is RR. There are two natural spring water sites midway on the hill of the property; one on the west and one on the east. Balsam poplar and poplar trees make the air fragrant and host many species of birds. In winter, wildlife use the Pike River as a transportation corridor. The photos show the centre of the property; the sides are treed and slope into valleys that direct mountain water into the Pike River. Gerald Street was formerly a "lane." It is plowed in winter, receives garbage collection and mail delivery. The view from the old building site is spectacular, featuring the steeple of Notre Dame des Victoires church in winter and the rolling hills flanking the Sturgeon River. The community of Field has a rich community spirit with roots in logging and farming. The bells at Notre Dame des Victoires church chime at 6:00 p.m. Field has a branch Caisse Alliance credit union, a branch West Nipissing library, a post office and a landfill. Considered by some to be a commuter town of Sturgeon Falls, it is in its own right an ATVer's, boater's and snowmobiler's haven. (id:25417)
