Municipality: Pointe au Baril

Welcome to 16 A97 Mackenzie Island, a beautiful 6 year old major renovation to a cottage set on an elevated, west facing 5.33 acre property overlooking a private bay in Pointe au Baril’s freshwater island paradise. Surrounded by exposed granite, mature trees, and pristine deep water, the property offers a peaceful setting with beautiful views and memorable sunsets.

The open concept main cottage has a modern feel while remaining true to the classic Georgian Bay aesthetic. Huge sliding glass doors frame sweeping views across the bay, bringing the surrounding trees, sky, water, and wildlife into the living space while filling the cottage with natural light.

At the heart of the cottage is a stunning kitchen that opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas. The inviting living room is centred around a stylish wood burning fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering place for cooler evenings. The cottage features a luxurious bathroom with a soaker tub, and outdoor shower, plus a half bath, a convenient laundry area, an entrance pantry and thoughtful finishes throughout.

Powered by an up to date solar system, with a Generac back up generator if needed, it is a reliable setup well suited to island living.

Outside, a spacious deck wraps around the front of the cottage and provides dedicated areas for sitting, cooking, and dining. With its elevated western exposure, it is an ideal place to enjoy the changing light throughout the day and settle in for sunsets. 

A newly built sauna is perched on a natural hump of granite at the water’s edge, offering an exceptional place to relax while looking across the bay. A Yurt cabin, on a dedicated platform is a second bedroom space for family or guests while maintaining the relaxed character of island living. 

At the south end of the island there already exists a platform from an old cabin that could be a perfect spot for the second Yurt or a base for a future built 540 sq ft 3 bedroom cabin. 

Ideally located only five minutes by boat from the famous Ojibway Club, the property offers easy access to tennis, pickleball, children’s day camp, a grocery store, gift shop, dinners, events, and the many social traditions that make summers in Pointe au Baril so special.

This cottage property offers a thoughtful combination of modern comfort, classic Georgian Bay style, privacy, west and south facing views, and convenient access to the heart of the community, and is just 10 minutes from Pointe au Baril Station’s marinas, groceries, hardware, LCBO, nursing station and other amenities.
