The waterfront
Open Georgian Bay views from rocky limestone shoreline with escarpment cliff as backdrop
Inside the home
The Rock House is a hand-built stone cottage on Georgian Bay with 664 feet of deeded waterfront and a limestone escarpment rising directly behind the property. It has been a family retreat for generations and shows it — full stone exterior and interior walls in the original section, a stone firepit at the water's edge, and several stone outbuildings scattered through the woods. A 2006-2008 addition added a cathedral great room with pine ceiling and loft sleeping quarters above. The kitchen is a small galley with white appliances and pine cabinets — functional, not fancy. Bathrooms are similarly basic. The property sleeps many people across four bedrooms, a loft, and additional open sleeping areas. The waterfront is across a traveled road, though the seller owns that land. No dock. The setting — clear Georgian Bay water, limestone shelves, and a near-vertical escarpment cliff — is genuinely rare on the Peninsula.
