B324 Ellen Pearce Island, The Archipelago, P0C 2L9

Home Overview

Description

Located in the heart of the historic Sans Souci Cottage Community,4+acre Ellen Pearce Island has been owned by the same family for over half a century. Upon purchasing they chose to retain the original 1 3/4 storey 4-bd, 2-bath structure, a classic turn of the century Georgian Bay (~1910) cottage. As such, it has become a local and mark presiding over the south channel, its familiar In Residence flags flying. As the family expanded a second sleeping cabin was built, later converted into a 3-bd, 2 bath cottage designed by John Stark, and built in 2007 by Rose Point Construction. The cottages are simple and streamlined in deference to the natural surroundings. Both are wrapped by windows on 4 sides illuminating the interiors and framing views to water. Both have large sun rooms and fireplaces. Each cottage has a 3-pc and a 4-pc bath. The newer cottage is winterized and can be fully enjoyed through 3 seasons. As both cottages have full kitchens the island is ideally suited as an extended family compound. The cottages, each with large deck, overlook wonderful views, open water to the south, sunset on the western horizon, cruisers plying the channel, and west to Frying Pan Island; location of(SSCA)Sans Souci Cottagers Association's new Community Centre, currently under construction, which will feature a covered pavilion, library/lounge, kitchen and fitness facilities. A natural harbour in the island's lee shelters two floating docks and, in the front bay a waterside swim/sundeck and a steel dock welcome guests to the island. The island's swimming is wonderful and back bays offer endless opportunities for exploring by kayak and canoe. The area is legendary for its superb sailing, boating and fishing as are the various picnic islands for shore lunches; Pomeroy, the Umbrellas and the Westerns. For more organized activities the SSCA runs social events, children's day camp, pickleball, basketball and immediately adjacent to SSCA is the Sans Souci Tennis Club.
