About this home

156 Ponacka Road - Step back in time with this cherished 1926 traditional cottage, family owned for generations and set on 251 feet of pristine West Bay shoreline on Baptiste Lake. Classic Canadian in every sense, the property offers panoramic views of the lake and forest, perfect swimming, and a choice of sun or shade. Three bedrooms, a deck, a dock, and a canopy of mature trees create a private and timeless setting, with four-season road access providing a front row seat to the changing seasons. Continue cottage life exactly as it has been lived and loved, or bring your vision and build your dream home on one of Bancroft's most desirable shorelines. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and to make it your own.
