About this home

Inside the home

This is a multi-structure waterfront compound on 170 feet of Lake Huron limestone shoreline just outside Tobermory. The main cottage is a single-level bungalow with knotty pine walls and ceilings throughout — classic cottage character — with an updated kitchen, granite counters, and a renovated four-piece bathroom with clawfoot tub. The A-frame boathouse is the standout piece. The ground floor runs as a games and bar room that opens fully to the water through a large garage door. The upper level has a sitting area and bedroom with a private balcony facing the open lake. A separate log bunkie adds more sleeping capacity. Stone paths connect everything through established gardens, a koi pond, and a built-in outdoor grill station. Buyers should know the shoreline is rocky limestone — good for kayaking and exploring, but not a sandy swim beach. Servicing details, including composting toilets in the secondary structures, are worth reviewing carefully before purchase.
