Build A Custom Cottage It's Worth It

Looking to build a cottage on the Bruce Peninsula, then you should set your standards higher then just having a cottage built, you should think of your cottage as a new custom home and not a cottage.

What is the difference between just a cottage and a custom home? A cottage is somewhere to go to enjoy yourself during the warmer months of the year, some place to eat, drink and sleep. The focus is entirely on the outside, the lake and other summer/warm weather activities.

A custom home is a place that you can live in all year round, its a place that is more comfortable inside then whatever the weather is doing outside. It can accommodate many people and can be easily used by anybody that comes up to stay.

What you should think about when you want to build a new cottage is to have a custom home that is your cottage or a custom cottage.

A custom cottage is something that takes time and planning, but its a place that is designed for all the fun that comes with being at the cottage in the summer, all parties and the great memories. But a custom cottage is properly insulated and climate controlled so that sleeping at the cottage no matter where you are in the building is also an enjoyable experience.

A custom cottage has the modern conveniences that allow the dishes to be cleaned quicker, that a load of laundry can be done if required and that no matter if its cold or rainy out everybody can be warm and entertained inside.

A custom cottage is built in a way to help keep the energy bills down and to allow you to come up anytime of the year and enjoy the place.

One bonus for building a custom cottage that can be used all year around is that it allows you the option of renting the cottage out to people in parts of the year that you would never be using it, like in the winter to cross country skiers or snowmobilers.

Its good to think about saving money on energy and the availability to have rental income, a custom cottage will cost a little more then a regular cottage, one of the big differences between building a custom cottage and just a regular one is the real sale of a custom cottage is a lot higher.

Custom cottages retain their value and sell for a lot more then a normal run of the mill cottage, there's more and more people looking to buy already built cottages and a lot of people wan their cottage to be as much like their home in the city as possible.

This Is The Time To Build That Cottage On The Bruce Peninsula

The Bruce Peninsula is a beautiful and wonderful place, it has some of the most unique natural features in all of Ontario.

More and more people are visiting the area and deciding that owning a cottage or retreat would be worth it. One problem, there is actually less waterfront cottages for sale then you would expect. Because of the limited amount of cottages that are for sale the price for waterfront cottages has dramatically risen in the last half decade.

What the Bruce Peninsula does have is an abundance of land, waterfront properties and non waterfront properties. The actual price of vacant land on the Bruce Peninsula is surprisingly low compared to anything that already has a building on it.

What this does is create a scenario where its actually smarter to build a new custom cottage instead of buying an older used cottage that requires a lot of renovations.

Building on the Bruce Peninsula is actually not that expensive, the building permit fees are some of the lowest that you will find in Southern Ontario. Add that to the low price of land and you have the bases for building a custom home that wouldn't break the bank.

Building a custom home or cottage on the water in the Bruce Peninsula is also a great investment, once you have built your waterfront custom home or cottage it is basically worth more then the cost you paid to have it built.

If you are thinking about having a custom home built then send me an email, I would love to help your dreams of cottage ownership come true.
