The house is obviously not structurally sound, so be careful when standing or walking inside. There is a neibouring house that owns the cabin nearby, but there is a decent amount of forest in the way and it cannot be seen from the cabin. The solar pannel farm right next to it has many security cameras, and no trespassing signs have been put up all around the farm since we went near to it. (Funny, as well as freaky.)
Not much history of this location is known, although I know that the building was present and intact in 2008, and that the roof collapsed some time between then and 2024.
I came across this location while looking at Google Maps aerial imaging. All I could see was that there was a small man-made structure in the woods, and it didn't look like much. One day, me and some friends decided to go and see if anything was there, and to my astonishment, there it was: the first interesting abandoned location that I had properly found. The location is an old log cabin that had been caved in by a log between 2008 and 2024. (A very wide range I know, I am simply utilizing the limited tools I have) We did not find anything to indicate a date of abandonment, but there was a modern looking blue recycling container outside of the building which was the most recent-looking part of it. From what we could see, the building contained two beds and some seating that was scattered about the floor. The roofed was largely caved in as well, making it difficult to get around inside, and making it impossible (or not worth it for us) to see what was on the ground on the far side of the cabin. This location is seemingly untouched by explorers, so please be extra careful and considerate not to damage anything or ruin it for future explorers. We took a long route to the destination as to avoid any suspicion since there are houses that are somewhat nearby. We took care to follow the solar pannel farm's fence to the destination, which kept us further from houses and on more of a trail. There are cameras for the Solar farm, but not for the property itself. Be careful of brambles and the odd metal pole sticking out of the ground by the farm. This property is marked as agricultural land on the Kawartha Lakes GeoHub tool, and is a part of the used property of 98 Pleasant Point Road. There is also a large dump of appliances and an old wooden motorboat nearby, along with some sort of used tiny vacation hut.
