Located on two acres overlooking sand dunes on Manitoulin's tranquil south shore, this off-grid waterfront cottage offers rare privacy and a deep sense of calm. Overlooking the crystal waters of Shrigley Bay, the property is defined by soft, sandy shoreline and breathtaking, uninterrupted views of Lake Huron. The cottage itself is a charming 1.5-storey with a metal roof and vinyl siding, designed for seasonal living with a welcoming, low-maintenance appeal. Inside, you'll find warm wood finishes throughout, a full kitchen with gas stove, and a cozy wood stove in the living area for cooler evenings. The open-concept layout includes two bedrooms, a 3-piece bathroom, and a dining area that feels perfectly in tune with its natural surroundings. A generous deck offers front-row seats to sunsets and starlit skies, while a rustic playhouse adds charm and extra utility. With solar power, a well, and a septic system already in place, this cottage blends simplicity with comfort. Whether you're unwinding on the deck, exploring nearby trails, or kayaking the quiet bay, this retreat is all about reconnecting with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. It's a rare opportunity to own waterfront on Manitoulin Island with direct access to Lake Hurons raw beauty.
