Description

There are properties and then there are legacies. This is French Island- 22 acres and a 330 acre Remote Camp on Rainy Lake just north of International Falls, in the southern boundary waters of Ontario. French Island is a sanctuary of absolute privacy, natural beauty, and architectural heritage, this is a place where generations gather, memories are made, and time slows down. Originally constructed between 1932-1934, the estate has been meticulously restored to preserve its historic charm while integrating modern systems. At its heart lies the 5,300 sqft main lodge, a masterclass in craftsmanship with 7 wood-burning fireplaces, expansive rooms, and over 1,700 sqft of stone terraces that open to sweeping water views. Rich oak floors, bespoke millwork, and a chef's kitchen with dual pantries create an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming. French Island is designed as a self-contained luxury compound, offering multiple residences: A restored guest house with private en-suites and charming living spaces, a dedicated staff house with service facilities and garage, a spectacular 3,000 sq ft log cabin on Small Island-ideal for extended stays or multigenerational living. Surrounded by pristine wilderness and protected lands, the estate offers uninterrupted views, exceptional privacy, and a deep connection to nature. Additional landholdings include a nearby private parcel and a remote camp-further enhance the sense of exclusivity and adventure. This is more than a retreat-it's a lifestyle. Enjoy a fully equipped exercise studio, unwind in the lakeside sauna, or find inspiration in the restored stone art studio. Wander to the historic schoolhouse, explore forested trails, or spend long summer days on the water from one of several docks designed for both leisure and functionality.With limited opportunities to acquire private island compounds of this scale and calibre, French Island represents a truly once-in-a-lifetime acquisition.
