About this home

Inside the home

Ninety-one acres of private Lake Huron frontage with a hand-crafted log home tucked into the forest — that is a rare combination on the Northern Bruce Peninsula. The shoreline is rocky cobble and flat limestone, typical of this stretch of coast, and the aerial shots confirm an extensive waterfront including a dramatic rocky cove. The house itself is full of one-of-a-kind details: a fieldstone fireplace with new insert, an antique Elmira wood-burning cookstove backed by a stone wall, French doors with leaded glass, and cordwood construction on one wing. Both bathrooms have been updated with stone counters and newer fixtures. The kitchen has a new island top but retains original pine cabinetry. Buyers should know the home sits well back from the water — you walk a trail through the forest to reach the shore. The drop ceilings and vintage wallpaper in the bedrooms are the most obvious cosmetic items to address. The Conservation Land Tax Incentive registration on the acreage is worth understanding before you make an offer.
