Isle of Rest is a 1.3‑acre private island in the Long Sault area of Sans Souci, set within a sheltered Georgian Bay archipelago. Protected from prevailing westerly winds, the island offers north‑ and south‑facing views, two sand beaches, and a turnkey cottage and guest cabin surrounded by natural gardens and interconnected pathways.
The Property
The two‑story timber‑frame main cottage, built in 2006 by Rosepoint Construction, features cedar board cladding, a cedar shake roof, and copper flashing. The three‑bedroom, two‑bathroom layout includes an open‑concept living, dining, and kitchen area with 20‑foot fir‑beamed ceilings and a loft with its own second‑floor deck and outdoor shower. Large windows and glass doors bring in natural light and highlight Brazilian Cherrywood floors and natural pine walls. The custom kitchen includes a reclaimed rosewood countertop, French Provincial distressed‑finish cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A cedar deck wraps around the cottage, extending the living space outdoors. A separate off‑grid waterside bunkie includes one bedroom with a built‑in king‑size bed, a large deck with an outdoor shower, and southwest views.
The Land and Water
The island’s relatively flat terrain is unusual for the area and supports easy walking along pathways that connect ornamental beds planted with native species and raised‑bed vegetable gardens. A protected deep‑water harbor on the southeast leeward side includes two steel tube docks with tie‑ups for five boats and space for a floatplane.
Access and Utilities
The island is a 12‑minute boat ride from local amenities including a marina, gas dock, general store, children’s camp, private tennis club, and Henry’s Fish Restaurant. Travel to Toronto Pearson International Airport is approximately two hours from Parry Sound, reached via a 20‑minute boat ride through the South Channel and a drive from the mainland.
The Lifestyle
Isle of Rest offers a quiet, nature‑focused environment suited to retreat living, outdoor recreation, and time spent on the water. With its cottage, bunkie, gardens, beaches, and protected harbor, the island provides a private setting within easy reach of Sans Souci’s amenities and Georgian Bay’s boating routes.
