Galt Island is a 2.8‑acre, lushly treed private island offering two cottages, two sand beaches, sheltered harbours on both sides of the island, and quick access to full‑service marinas in Parry Sound. With natural granite terrain, multiple waterfront structures, and thoughtfully maintained grounds, the property provides a rare combination of privacy, utility, and year‑round enjoyment.
The Property
The architecturally designed 2‑bedroom Main Cottage sits atop a granite ridge with elevated views over the South Channel and Five Mile Bay. Stone steps lead past a hot tub deck to a large patio and onward to the 560 sq ft Guest Cottage, which includes 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The Guest Cottage features a legal non‑conforming full kitchen, allowing guests or extended family to remain fully self‑sufficient.
A network of stone pathways connects the cottages to a vegetable garden, perennial gardens, and a granite flagstone terrace. The waterside patio overlooks a sheltered harbour with an 820 sq ft Boat House and a recently installed system of Kropf docks, decks, and slips. Additional structures include a 650 sq ft Marine Shed/Workshop with a ramp/rail/launch system and a nearby Mechanical Storage Shed.
The Land and Water
The island features two natural harbours—one on the east side and one on the west—along with two sand beaches, including a south‑facing cove‑like beach and a north‑facing beach. The deep‑water west side includes a concrete hydro dock supporting a pump house and both high and shallow diving boards. Groomed forest trails connect key points across the island.
Access and Utilities
Galt Island is located 5 minutes by boat from full‑service marinas in Parry Sound, including Glen‑Burney Marina for provisioning and dining.
The Lifestyle
The island offers privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to superb fishing, golf courses, and Parry Sound’s cultural amenities, including the renowned Festival of the Sound. Most buildings and docks are wheelchair accessible, and an extensive list of inclusions—boats, mechanical equipment, and furnishings—is available upon request. With multiple dwellings, protected harbours, and well‑maintained structures, Galt Island is a versatile and fully equipped Georgian Bay retreat.
