Your Georgian Bay Cottage Escape - Without the Waterfront Price Tag! Dreaming of a Georgian Bay getaway without the cost of direct waterfront ownership? This inviting three-bedroom cottage offers an affordable way to enjoy the cottage lifestyle, with a nearby water access area just a five-minute walk away. Spend summer days swimming, paddling and exploring the bay, then unwind on the wrap-around front deck with morning coffee or relaxed evenings with family and friends. Low property taxes add to the appeal, making this an attractive option for buyers looking for a personal retreat without the higher carrying costs often associated with waterfront properties. Currently enjoyed by the owners for three seasons, with occasional winter use, the cottage offers flexibility for extended getaways throughout the year. A cozy wood-burning stove creates a welcoming atmosphere on cooler days, while baseboard heating provides additional warmth. A wall-mounted air conditioner helps keep things comfortable during the summer months. Beyond its appeal as a personal escape, this property offers potential for buyers interested in short-term rental income when they're not enjoying it themselves. Located in an area where short-term rentals are permitted, it may provide an opportunity to offset ownership costs while sharing the Georgian Bay lifestyle with others, subject to applicable municipal requirements. Practical updates include a new roof and most windows in 2020, updated plumbing and electrical, Roxul insulation in the exterior walls and attic, soundproofing insulation in the interior walls, and additional insulation beneath approximately 60% of the cottage. Whether you're searching for a weekend retreat, a place to create lasting family memories, or a cottage with potential rental appeal, this property offers an opportunity to make Georgian Bay cottage life your own. Furniture is negotiable, making it even easier to settle in and start enjoying your getaway. (id:60164)
