Known as the "Crown Jewel of Lake of the Woods," Queen Bee Island is a rare 26-acre private sanctuary offering unparalleled privacy and multi-family capacity. The property features one full mile (5,280 feet) of rocky shoreline and is anchored by a well-appointed main cottage and two self-sufficient guest cabins. Located in an unorganized territory, this estate offers significant long-term flexibility and future development potential for $3,800,000 CAD.
Property Details
The center-piece of the island is a 2,000-square-foot turnkey cottage, approximately 12 years old and primarily finished in pine. The main residence includes:
Interior: Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath.
Gathering Spaces: An open-concept living area with a propane stove and a large 24' x 24' octagonal screened sunroom.
Guest Accommodations: Two newer, self-contained cabins—a 728 sq. ft. unit with six bedrooms and a 432 sq. ft. unit with two bedrooms—both offering private decks and lake views.
Land and Water
The island's 26 acres are defined by towering white pines and a mile of rocky frontage, including several sheltered coves and a natural sand beach. A groomed trail system circles the island's circumference, connecting the various cabins and shoreline features. Waterfront amenities include a floating dock and a waterside sauna, while a detached 24' x 24' garage provides ample storage for gear and water toys.
Access and Utilities
Logistics are remarkably simple for a private island; the property is located just minutes from Bare Point Marina by boat in the summer. In the winter, the island remains accessible via an established ice road. The estate is fully modernized with high-speed internet availability and utilizes a propane heating system and septic sewer. Annual property taxes are approximately $1,800.
Lifestyle and Value
Queen Bee Island offers a recreation-focused lifestyle in one of Canada’s most prestigious lake regions. The property is designed to host large groups and multiple families simultaneously while maintaining absolute individual privacy.
