About this home

Inside the home

A four-season cottage on a private 1.2-acre lot in the Tobermory area, set across from Bruce Peninsula National Park. The main cottage is compact at 756 sq ft — two bedrooms, one bathroom, a recently refreshed kitchen, and a living room with exposed wood beams and a pellet stove. The property's real draw is the land and water access. A private dock sits on a calm, sheltered inlet channel with a screened waterside gazebo and a lounge platform at the water's edge. A large boathouse/storage building holds canoes, kayaks, and a small boat. A separate guest bunkie provides extra sleeping — it's weathered on the outside but functional inside. Most furnishings stay with the property. The kitchen and living area are in good shape; the bunkie and outbuildings need attention.

  • Updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets and wood butcher block counters
  • Exposed wood beam vaulted ceiling in living room
  • Private dock on sheltered inlet
  • 1.2-acre treed lot with fire pit, screened gazebo, and guest bunkie
  • Large detached storage building for watercraft and gear
