The waterfront
Georgian Bay views from the cabin and deck; North Shore Rd separates the property from the shoreline
Inside the home
Bear Ridge is a handcrafted log home built from 45-foot red cedar logs sourced from BC, with a construction placard still posted inside documenting every spec. The logs, beams, shingles, and wide-plank pine floors are all original material — this is not a manufactured log-look build. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with black cabinetry, butcher block counters, a farmhouse sink, and a retro Caloric appliance set that fits the cabin aesthetic without feeling forced. The river-stone wood fireplace anchors the main floor, and the 700-square-foot water-facing deck gives you Georgian Bay views without leaving the property. One thing to clarify before you visit: North Shore Road runs between this property and the Georgian Bay shoreline. The water is very close and visible, but the lot does not own the shoreline directly. The views and access to the water are real — the frontage is not.
