Your front row shore-seat to the Northern Lights! Welcome to this iconic Canadian cottage boasting 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2baths, on a prime, first-tier waterfront lot with stunning views of Colpoy's Bay and the Niagara Escarpment. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets by a seasonal stream guiding rain and runoff water past your oasis safely while providing the zen sound of a laughing brook. This open-concept retreat features a great room with vaulted ceiling and patio doors leading to an expansive wrap-around composite deck. The walk-out basement leads to a covered patio offering extensive outdoor living spaces that seamlessly join indoor and outdoor areas. Unobstructed water views grace both levels of the cottage. The upper deck is ideal for BBQs and entertaining under the sun. The covered lower deck provides shelter from the rain or shade on sunny days. At the water's edge you will find a waterfront deck with panoramic views, a bunkie retreat, and a private Jetfloat dock. Spend your days fishing from the dock, boating, kayaking, swimming, or reading. In the evening, enjoy your waterfront firepit-the heart of cottage evenings-perfect for stargazing, singing, and making s'mores. As a base for exploration the property is conveniently located across the road from the first green of Wiarton Bluffs Golf Course. It is minutes away from Bruce Caves, Bruce Trail, Wiarton Bluewater Park and beach, marina, shops, and cafes. To the east you'll find Colpoy's Bay Lookout Conservation Area, Skinners Bluff, and homemade ice cream at Big Bay, the Stone Skipping Capital Of Canada. Cottage updates include composite decking, waterproof under deck ceiling over patio, steel roof (2010) with transferable warranty, durable flooring, numerous windows and doors, ceiling fan and some light fixtures, septic pumped (2024), refurbished Van Dolder's kitchen cabinets, UV water protection system, and a 12x10 shed for storage. When the loons call, you will realize that you have arrived somewhere rare and real. (id:36109)
