250841 BIG BAY Sideroad Your Staycation Awaits - This 4 Bedroom Vacation Home is located in the historic and picturesque Georgian Bay waterfront village of Big Bay. Instead of paying someone else (Airbnb/VRBO?) invest in your own year-round vacation spot. This place has plenty of room for family and friends. Situated on ½ an acre this cozy 1 ¾ storey home is just steps (approx. 420 steps) from the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay, a public shore stone beach, municipal dock and boat launch. If boating, swimming or fishing is not your thing, the Bruce Trail, ATV and snowmobile trails are close by, as are 7 different golf courses. Big Bay is between Owen Sound and Wiarton (on Grey Road 1), where you will find all your shopping needs. Sauble Beach is 30 mins. away. While the owner has not lived in the home for many years the house has been very well maintained with board and batten siding, roof sheathing, asphalt shingles, soffit & fascia, propane forced air furnace and septic pump all newly replaced within the past 5 years. The property can use some landscaping/grass cutting TLC to provide a great place for relaxing in the outdoors, planting a vegetable garden, a place for kids and pets to play. The Big Bay area has a thriving artisan colony with a good mix of permanent and seasonal residents, artists, writers and photographers as well as the Keppel Croft Gardens and a coffee roaster. This home is nicely laid out with a huge eat-in kitchen-dining room, large living room with fireplace, 4 bedrooms (the large primary bedroom would make a great rec room), utility/laundry room and a 4 pc. Bath (separate tub and stand alone shower). The property has been continuously rented for the past 14 years, however as the owner has not lived in the home during this time, the property, including chattels are being offered ‘as is-where is’. Fireplace chimney requires extension for insurance purposes. The home or cottage can be left in 'turn-key' condition with most furniture, dishes & cutlery, etc. (id:203)
