Regrettably, 2021 was a bad year for all of us. 2020 ended in disappointment as another dream on the Bruce Peninsula went sour. I had a property up there that I was getting ready to build a log cabin on but due to the pandemic (in part), I ended up selling at the last minute as costs were starting to soar significantly.

I spent the remainder of 2020 scouring northern properties, but there were few to be had that were affordable – certainly nothing water front. As the pandemic worsened, I was convinced I would never see a recreational property ever again in my lifetime. But I kept searching, I had alerts setup on any and every kind of site that sold real estate. Then, about a week before Christmas…

I found this island property. But wait – it’s a real long drive and I don’t have a boat. It’s got a hydro service? And a Septic System? And Running water and baseboard heaters? This sounds too good to be true (oh yeah, and it’s mostly affordable). So almost 8 private acres and 2200 feet of waterfront? Are you kidding me? But it is far to drive and my partner, well she might not like those drives. Ok, I’m going to see it.
