COTTAGE: Colpoy's Bay, east of Wiarton;

 “COLPOY’S VIEW” COTTAGE at 206 Old Mill Road, Oxenden

(Municipality of Georgian Bluffs, County of Grey)

Legal Description:  Part Lot 11, Jones Range, Keppel Township (Georgian Bluffs) 

             This three-season, waterfront cottage is located in a quiet neighbourhood on the south shore of Colpoy’s Bay, about 6 km east of Wiarton.  A paved road with minimal traffic runs between the shoreline and the cottage property.

            This three bedroom cottage is located on a gentle knoll overlooking Colpoy’s Bay and is enhanced by several well established perennial flower beds.  A wonderful view of Colpoy’s Bay with spectacular sunsets awaits you from either the large sunroom (8’X20’) and or the cottage’s outdoor deck (8’X17’).  

            Cedar trees provide privacy from the neighbours on either side.  At the rear of the cottage, the lawn edges onto forest to the south-east.

            The patio door in the dining area provides access to the deck and a good view of the shoreline area.  A second patio door between the living room and sunroom allows for a full water view from not only the sunroom but from the living room area as well.

            A second deck near the shore is tucked into a cedar grove giving privacy from traffic while providing a panoramic view of Colpoy’s Bay.  Looking west from the shore is the town of Wiarton, while looking east provides a view of the widening Bay and Colpoy’s Bluffs on the north shore. 

            A propane fireplace in the living room quickly removes any chill on cool mornings.  In hot weather, insulation helps the cottage remain cooler throughout the day.

The property is located within 2 km of Bruce Caves Conservation Area/Bruce Trail, 4 km from Wiarton Airport, and 5 km from the Wiarton Golf Course.  Boats can be launched at Gleason Brook Public Boat Launch located about one kilometer west along Old Mill Road.
