The waterfront
Direct Georgian Bay frontage with open-water views from a pebble and cobble shoreline
Inside the home
A one-of-a-kind 15-sided cottage on a direct waterfront lot, with a pebble and cobble Georgian Bay shoreline you can reach via escarpment stairs. The upper conservatory level wraps around with windows on all sides — an unusual feature that sets this place apart from every other cottage on the peninsula. The interior is honest cottage vintage: pine walls, original kitchen, dark-panelled bedrooms, and a crawl space doing heavy utility work with large water storage tanks. The bathroom has been updated and the main-level flooring is newer, but buyers should expect a project, not a finished product. The lot backs directly onto Smokey Head White Bluff Provincial Nature Reserve, and the Bruce Trail is steps away. This is a property where the land and water carry the value.
