Interesting the stuff you can find poking around Google Maps. So what I thought was a power line going over that property is actually transcanda pipe line. I found the direction it was taking was kinda sporadic, like it was going around big boulders or something. Power lines tend to be quite straight, and don't take more than one sharp turn at a time as there is no reason to.

Followed it all the way to Kapuskasing power plant which I then looked up, and it's a gas powered plant and the pipe line passes right next to it. So that more or less confirms it, also found what looks like some kind of station, probably a pumping station.

Not sure how that works when it goes on property you own, guessing it's like an easement where you technically don't own that portion. Might make for a nice skidoo trail in winter though... But it's also going through a bunch of other people's property in that area so not sure. Either way it's kind of cool to know it's there, does not really pose much of a problem with that kind of acreage.

I hope they take my offer on this property, unless there's a red flag I find out of at time of doing paperwork or when I go see it, it just seems to tick all the boxes, even water front, it's river and not a lake, but still!

I have more than enough room for a sheep farm too!

Sheep makes me think of Pink Floyd

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the ah heck's eyes water
