Can’t afford this? La Have Islands, Lunenburg County, N.S.
Quaint, but with mod cons including a central-vacuum system and air exchanger, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage has direct ocean frontage – the holy grail for most East Coast recreational-property hunters. Though it’s on an island, you can drive directly to the property’s nearly five-and-a-half private acres over a causeway.
Asking price: $748,000
Then how about this?
Russell Lake, Queens County, N.S.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage sits on six acres of your very own wooded land. It’s right on a lake, complete with dock and water supplied from a drilled well. Inside, there’s a fireplace for chilly evenings, and 1,248 square feet of living space.
Asking price: $325,000
Can’t afford this?
Hondoo Island, South River, Ont.
This cottage comes with ownership of half an island and a custom-built, 2,400-square-foot winterized cottage. So, why isn’t it a million bucks? Properties that can be accessed only by boat generally cost less than those with land access, so you get more for your money. In this case: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, hardwood floors and high-speed Internet access.
Asking price: $699,900
Then how about this?
Oxtongue Lake, Dwight (Lake of Bays), Ont.
Right on the lake with a sand beach, this 50-year-old, 750-square-foot cottage may be what real-estate agents like to call “cozy” but it comes with a bunkie (for teenaged kids or guests to sleep in) and a dryland boathouse (read: shed).
