Welcome to your perfect lakeside escape! This beautifully renovated, turnkey seasonal cottage is absolutely adorable inside and out, offering an incredible opportunity to experience life right on the shores of Lake Huron. Situated on a 66x200 foot direct waterfront lot on native leased lands just north of Southampton, this 1,016 square foot home comes fully loaded with everything you need-including a fridge, stove, above range microwave and range fan, stand-alone air conditioner, furniture, cutlery, and dish-ware. The functional layout features 2 bedrooms, a bright living room with a propane fireplace, a kitchen, a dining room, a sunroom, and a 4-piece ensuite among its washroom facilities. Complete peace of mind comes standard here, as the septic system has been replaced to meet all band requirements, and a stunning new stone breakwater has been added-complete with a built-in sitting area perfect for a fire pit, relaxing, and soaking in some of the world's best sunsets and starry nights. Boasting year-round municipal road access, a private driveway with space for 6 vehicles and durable vinyl siding, this property seamlessly blends convenience with classic cottage charm. The property has a cute bunkie with hydro and a double bunk bed as well as a separate storage shed. Lease land offers an affordable alternative to purchasing a waterfront cottage on freehold land. Offered at $259,900 with immediate possession available, this premium lakeside gem won't last long!
