Property Description
Welcome to 2196 Lakeshore Drive a rare opportunity to own just under 50 feet of prime western-facing waterfront on the tranquil eastern shore of Lake Simcoe. With an impressive 275-foot deep lot, this property offers unobstructed, panoramic lake views and stunning year-round sunsets. Whether you're dreaming of building your custom cottage or four-season home, or looking for a simple summer retreat, this property offers the flexibility to suit your vision. The existing rustic cottage and bunkie provide immediate use and a charming footprint to enjoy lake life while planning your future build. Swim, boat, or relax lakeside in the sunshine. This part of Lake Simcoe is known for its warm shallow waters, spectacular fishing, and easy access to the Trent-Severn Waterway. Your waterfront future starts here. Here is a quick breakdown of the highlights and considerations: THE UPSIDES: SPECTACULAR VALUE - Priced similarly to vacant land sales in the area, yet this property includes a rustic cottage, a bunkie and a shed. EXISTING STRUCTURES - The cottage is structurally sound, offering a solid starting point for renovations flooring and bathroom upgrades would bring it to life. DEVELOPMENT FEE SAVINGS - If your plan is to rebuild, you could save nearly $30,000 in development charges thanks to the existing footprint. GENEROUS LOT DEPTH - At 275 feet, this lot is significantly deeper than many others nearby (typically 100150 feet), offering more privacy and options for future use. SUNSET VIEWS - The western exposure provides absolutely stunning sunsets over the lake truly a standout feature. THINGS TO CONSIDER: Septic system - There's currently no functioning septic; the old system failed years ago. The sellers have been using alternate toilet solutions. Possible fix - Many rural cottage owners opt for incinerator toilets, which are relatively cost-effective and well-suited to properties like this.
