With its sun-dappled granite islands, protected harbors, and warm community spirit, San Souci has become one of the most popular regions on the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, Ontario. In the heart of this cottage community, which attracts residents and visitors from around the world, Ardwell Island provides the ideal setting to establish a summer hideaway or three-season home. Eleven acres are currently available on the southern tip of the island with 2,490 feet of waterfront on three sides, guaranteeing spectacular unobstructed views to the west and south across the open water. Ardwell Island’s Precambrian granite shore slopes gently into the bay, with sheltered water on the leeward side forming a natural harbor.

The property already has a self-contained one-bedroom cottage tucked into a pine forest, which features new windows and doors, engineered hardwood floors, and a wood-burning airtight stove—making it easy to take advantage of this prime location now. An additional one-bedroom sleeping bunkie with screened porch sits at the water’s edge. Established hydro and septic system, groomed trails and landscaped pathways, and an elevated building site set the stage for the development of a main cottage in the future, maximizing the investment even further. It’s a serene spot to launch a canoe, cast a line, or simply bask in the sun and bay breezes.

Located about a two-hour drive north of Toronto, Ardwell Island sits close to San Souci’s many amenities, including tennis and pickle ball courts, a children’s day camp, and the world-famous Henry’s Fish Restaurant. Island access is available from nearby marinas in Woods Bay, Twelve Mile Bay, and Parry Sound. The unspoiled wilderness of Massasauga Provincial Park also is within easy boating distance, its miles of hiking trails traversing some of the region’s most gorgeous scenery. When you’re based on Ardwell Island, the opportunities for exploring the best of Georgian Bay are limitless.
