One-bedroom, one-bath bungalow on 1.1 acres right on the Stokes Bay River, with kayak access from your own backyard. The house is compact at roughly 750 square feet, but the layout works. You've got a big storage closet that could easily become a second bedroom. Property has been well-maintained with a steel roof, aluminum siding, and vinyl windows, plus a newer wood stove that's WETT-certified. There's also a wall furnace and a water filtration system that uses UV light. Real showstopper is the new oversized detached garage, built with 2x6 construction and a second level that's ready for a studio or guest space. That garage is huge, and total parking for 9 cars fits on the property. Lot is private, with wildflowers out front and the river at the back. You're 5 minutes to Sandy Beach on Lake Huron and 10 minutes to Lion's Head for groceries, the RBC bank, and Bruce Trail access. Tobermory's about 30 minutes north. Price is $329,000, right in line with the one other active listing nearby, and taxes run just over $1,000 a year. This is a solid low-maintenance spot for year-round or weekend use.
