The waterfront
West-facing Lake Huron frontage with open water views and limestone and pebble shoreline
Inside the home
This is a genuine 1966 A-frame on the waterfront at Parker Island, Lion's Head — the kind of property that almost never comes up. The great room is the centrepiece: cathedral wood ceiling, exposed log ridge beam, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a stone fireplace with wood insert, all looking straight out at Lake Huron. The property has been selectively updated — new roof, siding, electrical, septic, and a fully renovated main-floor primary bedroom — but the kitchen and bathroom are still original 1960s-era and will need work. The two loft bedrooms are cozy but have sharply angled ceilings; plan accordingly. The waterfront package is the real draw: limestone and pebble shoreline, an aluminum dock, a wood-fired hot tub right at the water's edge, and the west-facing sunsets that Parker Island is known for.

- Renovated primary bedroom with pot lights, propane stove, and water-view sliding doors
- Year-round road access on Parker Island
- Multiple outbuildings visible in aerial
