Historic Classic Canadian Hunting Lodge for Sale
Discover the Beautiful Wilds of Maritime Canada
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I write with a bit of melancholy to inform you that our beautiful Canadian Maritime sporting camp—owned by us for the past 35 years—will soon be offered at auction this summer. With only three remaining owners, we have decided that the time has come for a younger group of adventurous stewards to take over.
The lodge is approximately 120 years old and is scenically poised eighty feet above a bend in the Cains River, a tributary of the famous Miramichi River, near Doaktown, New Brunswick, Canada. The property sits in the center of superb fishing for Atlantic salmon, trout, and striped bass, as well as outstanding woodcock, grouse, and duck hunting. Moose, bear, and deer are also part of the sporting tradition.
There have been only a handful of owners over all these years. In the 1940s and 1950s, the lodge was owned by a good friend of the great baseball player Ted Williams. Ted fished at this camp for more than 30 years as he perfected his art of fly fishing for Atlantic salmon. I have a host of photographs depicting Ted at the lodge.
The property encompasses approximately 7.5 acres, located 13 miles from Doaktown and four miles back into the woodlands. It is, and always has been, held under a land lease from the Canadian Crown, with full ownership of all buildings and related infrastructure. The main structure is a large log lodge featuring a spacious kitchen and dining area, a great room with a large fireplace, and a pool room overlooking the river, along with three bedrooms. The lodge comfortably sleeps six to eight guests. There is also a secondary building with two bedrooms and a loft, including a full kitchen and bath, accommodating four additional guests.
Online registration and auction bidding will begin on June 1 and continue until the auction closes on July 15, 2026.
The minimum bid requirement is $240,000 USD, with all successive bids in increments of $10,000. This starting bid represents only a fraction of the lodge’s true value.
We will soon define a window beginning around May 1 for on-site visits and inspection opportunities. If you are interested in arranging a visit, please call me directly at 404-840-6945.
Please watch the website for complete auction information, registration forms, photographs, detailed descriptions, and supporting documents. All materials should be available by June 1.
Many of you know me and are familiar with the live auction prizes I have donated over the years, including weeks stays at my Bahamas retreat through Island Explorations. These prizes have been auctioned by organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited, Atlantic Salmon Federation, California Waterfowl, Delta Waterfowl, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and various North American wild sheep organizations.
If you are connected with one of these groups—or any other sporting organization—and wish to publicize this auction, we will donate $10,000 to your organization after the closing of the sale if one of your members is the winning bidder.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
Jack Pittard
