The waterfront
Inside the home
This is a 2,500 sq ft brick bungalow on 5 private acres outside Tobermory — the kind of lot that simply doesn't come up often. The house itself is largely original: knotty pine walls in the sunroom living area, dated kitchen, worn carpet in the bedrooms, and one bathroom that doubles as a laundry room. One bathroom has been partially updated with tile and modern fixtures, and the bones of the layout are solid. The real draw is the land and the outbuildings — an attached garage and a detached workshop with loft give serious utility for tradespeople or hobbyists. Buyers should go in with eyes open: the home needs meaningful work throughout. A 'Repairs Needed' list was visible written on one wall during the listing photos. Price accordingly and budget for renovations.

Tucked away in the rugged natural beauty of Tobermory, 192 McArthur Road offers something that's getting harder to find-space, privacy, and untapped potential, all in one of Ontario's most breathtaking landscapes.

But what truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle. Living here means morning coffees surrounded by trees, evenings under star-filled skies, and weekends exploring the crystal-clear waters, hiking trails, and iconic landscapes of the Bruce Peninsula. You're just minutes from the shores of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, close to national parks, and part of a community that values nature, quiet, and authenticity. This isn't just a home-it's an opportunity to create something personal, in a place that already offers so much.
