1 B721 Galt Island, The Archipelago

Galt Island, a lushly treed 2.8-acre island could be one of Georgian Bay's best kept secrets; two self-contained cottages, two lovely sand beaches, natural sheltered harbours on each side of the island, two boat houses plus additional utility structures; and, only 5 minutes from full-service marinas in Parry Sound. The architecturally designed 2-bedroom Main Cottage is sited atop a granite ridge affording spectacular elevated views of the South Channel and Five Mile Bay. Steps down from the main cottage stone lead past a hot tub deck to large stone patio and on toa welcoming 560sqft 3-bed 1-bath Guest Cottage. The legal non-conforming full kitchen allows for family or guests to be fully self-sufficient. A network of stone pathways continues past a flourishing vegetable garden, along perennial pocket gardens and down to a large granite flag stone terrace. The waterside patio, ideal for entertaining 'al fresco' overlooks a sheltered harbour with an 820sq.ft. Boat House and a recently installed system of 'state of the art' Kropf docks, decks and slips. A 650sqft Marine Shed/Workshop with a ramp/rail/launch system is sited farther along the shoreline with Mechanical Storage Shed nearby. On the deep water west side of the island, a concrete 'hydro' dock supports a pump house and high and shallow diving boards. Groomed trails traverse the forest leading to two sand beaches one, Caribbean cove-like oriented to the south, the other beach facing North. The cottages are solid & masterfully built and the property has been impeccably maintained. Most of the buildings and docks are wheel chair accessible. Galt Island is close to superb fishing and a mere 5 minutes by boat to Glen-Burney Marina for in town provisioning, dining out, access to exceptional golf courses and home of the renowned "Festival of the Sound" summer music festival.
