Municipality: Pointe au Baril

Discover a rare opportunity to own a spectacular outer island at the edge of Georgian Bay’s open waters near the southern boundary of the renowned Pointe au Baril archipelago. Spanning 4.4 acres and offering extraordinary views in every direction, Calhoun Island embodies the privacy, scenery, and adventure that define the very best of Georgian Bay island living.

Positioned where the sheltered islands give way to the open bay, the property features a protected private harbour with deep water docking and safe boating access. Surrounding the island are pristine waters, dramatic Canadian Shield granite shorelines, and expansive views across Georgian Bay, with sight lines to the McCoys, Minks, Twin Sister Islands, and the iconic Red Rock Lighthouse. The combination of exposed granite, windswept pines, and sparkling clean water creates the quintessential Georgian Bay landscape. Whether swimming from smooth granite shoreline, exploring by boat, or simply relaxing at the water’s edge, the natural setting is truly breathtaking.

Thoughtfully developed with exceptional attention to detail, the island features a stunning main cottage, three sleeping cabins, and a marine storage building, all completed in 2020 by Ballentine Construction and showcasing outstanding quality and craftsmanship throughout. Together, these accommodations offer seven bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bathroom, creating a luxurious and comfortable retreat for family and guests. Adding to the unique island experience, every building includes access to an outdoor shower, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the surrounding landscape.

Modern conveniences ensure effortless seasonal living, including hydro service, high-speed Starlink internet, security cameras, water treatment, septic, wired generator backup, laundry facilities, a dishwasher, and heat pump HVAC providing both heating and air conditioning.

The island’s varied topography features magnificent granite outcroppings, gently sloping rock shelves, and natural vegetation that create a private sanctuary for both owners and local wildlife. With nearly 3,000 feet of shoreline to explore, there is always another quiet cove, swimming spot, or sunrise and sunset vantage point to discover. The protected harbour provides peace of mind for boaters, while the island’s outer position offers immediate access to the open waters and endless cruising opportunities throughout Georgian Bay and beyond.

Rarely does an outer island of this scale become available, offering extensive shoreline, exceptional privacy, deep water docking in a protected harbour, meticulously maintained improvements, and direct access to the open waters of Georgian Bay. A truly special opportunity to own one of Eastern Georgian Bay’s finest island retreats, ideally situated in the southern Pointe au Baril area near Franklin Island and Dillon.
