A unique opportunity to own a piece of history and backcountry paradise within a few kilometers of Highway 11. This 39.78 ac parcel was part of a series of former mining claims owned by inventor Thomas Edison that could become your backcountry camp paradise. The property itself was prospected but never mined or logged and abuts Conservation zoned Crown Land on 3 of 4 sides. The historic ''Edison Mountain trail'' passes right through the property however would require brushing and regular use to provide mechanized access. The current owner is a passionate canoe tripper who envisioned a few small cabins on the property to provide a base camp for longer canoe trips in the Temagami Region. The property includes old growth White Pine forest, rocky Jack Pine outcrops and a bog (Edison Marsh) full of breeding birds who are partial to quiet, unimpacted boreal forest. Lots of standard camp supplies have been hauled in and stored in Tupperware bins, firepit areas established and deck for a canvas tent framed - ready for you to take it from here. (This property is for hardcore outdoor enthusiast only!) approx GPS location 47,361400 - 79,888328
