Year Round Sunsets! Panoramic island-dotted view towards Beaumaris. It's time for this lovingly cherished and maintained island cottage property to be passed on to a new family.

This 1.22 acre property consists of 2 parcels and is located on a gently curving point with mature trees and a granite shoreline. The cottage itself features wide plank pine flooring, 4 bedrooms + loft with queen bed, 3 washrooms including a large primary bedroom with ensuite, and 2 huge decks for outside dining, lounging about and entertaining.

The finished lower level, with direct access to the lower deck, features a private bedroom and washroom, along with extensive additional entertainment space that can accommodate overflow sleeping space if needed. The lovely covered, water's edge, Tea House is the current owners favourite place to enjoy an afternoon cocktail, read a book or to simply take in that evening's sunset. The 1-slip dock with additional outside docking for guests, has been re-built and expanded with new steel piles.
