Well, how did it go? Anyone here bid on the North Bruce properties? I haven't heard the results yet, any info?

That's what's so interesting about this site. It helps with our investigating, or at least sometimes points out potential problems. $14,000.00 eh? It is a nice part of the province, with less the traffic than the Muskoka bound cottagers.

Here's some more info for all interested in the Maple Dr. properties. I have heard that the 114' road frontage needed for a septic and building permit only pertains to new building lots and lots being severed. Not lots that are already severed/established. These lots have been around for quite a few years. Apparently the 2 lots should have no problem getting permits. There are currently 3 lots on that street that have buildings under construction.
Remember: do your homework, do appropriate searches and ask questions. A great place for info is ontariotaxsales.ca
Also, this site is great for information, but we could all be bidding on the same properties. We are competing against each other. I will not be bidding on those 2 lots, otherwise I probably would not have given this much info. Good luck to all that do bid.

Hey, went up to the two lots on Friday. (North Bruce)
The larger lot has a realtors sign on it. I couldn't find it on MLS, however, if I tried harder I'm sure I could find out how much it is/was going for. That lot has a mix of trees and open areas. It does not have a driveway into the property. There is also a dirt lane beside it (west side) and a trailer park behind it. This lot is close to HWY #6.
The smaller lot was harder to find/define because of the density of trees and no distinct fences or property boundaries. I think the lot has a small open area surrounded by trees. The lot appears to be a bit below street level and it also does not have a driveway into it. This lot would be a little farther from HWY #6.
I did not walk any of the properties, so this is what I saw from the road. It appears that none of the 2 lots have ever had a structure on them. About a mile east is Miller Lake, there are some nice cottages there and a couple of camping/cottage resorts.
Hope that helps all who are interested.

Thanks for the advise. Just this week I noticed the town of Ingersoll was going to sell a lot that was surplus. It's on the towns website. Doubt it's on water.
If you know the property address, why not try google maps. Just type in the address and it will take you there, usually. I'm not sure about google earth.

There are no municipal water and sewer services on Maple Dr. I also read the by-law, properties are zoned R2 and will require 114 feet frontage.

Have been too busy this week, going up this weekend for sure. It will be a long drive from Burlington 
. Looks like these properties are almost across the street from each other. Unfortunately Pfm is right and they're not on water.

Well I only spoke to the town office this morning for a couple of minutes. I asked if there were any Crown leans or environmental issues with the lot and she had no knowledge of any. Of course, a full title search would have confirmed the Crown issue. Actually, They were quite surprised that no one had placed a bid. Also, I was told that there had been no contact with the owner for quite some time.
I noticed that ontariotaxsales.ca did not have a title search available. I'm not sure if that meant they could not get one or they just had not ordered one.
Personally, I think bidding on that lot wouldn't be worth the long commute, also, property is only worth what you can get for it, right?

The waterfront property was withdrawn about one week into the tender notice.
The other property, 18 acres with a road allowance, (you could get to it by an ATV) with a minimun tender of $15,648.66 had no bids and will probably be assumed by the township.

Thanks Pfm, that WAS worth a bottle of something. Keep this up and you'll have an entire bar. 
I'm heading up to North Bruce sometime this week to check out the 2 lots. Have not heard much discussed about those properties. Anyone familiar with the area? Possible gold mine? I'll need it to help pay for the gas.
Once again, this is a good site to help all. And a good read.

hi guys, this is a great site.
I have just one question. I have not bid on a property yet and I'm a little concerned about hidden problems, ie environmental issues, etc.. Now, I know about doing my homework, title search & execution search. Even driving by the property will not hurt, but after reading about HorseCrazy in Need Advice, I kind of got the impression that you should be incorporated before bidding on a property, to protect yourself from any surprises. Do you guys usually bid as yourself or do you bid as an Inc. ?
After all, I'd hate to owe someone a bottle of good scotch.
