There's Great Opportunity To Build Yourself A New Cottage In The Bruce Peninsula

If you are thinking about buying a cottage but can't seem to find one that you like or one that is not so old that it isn't worth the purchase price? Then you should think about having a cottage built, a custom cottage built were you want it, how you want it and the best part is it will be brand new!

The prices of cottages has climbed over the last 4 years since the real estate market in the Bruce Peninsula bottomed out. There are very few cottages for sale and a lot of the ones that are for sale are older then the people that are looking to buy them. A lot of the cottages on the Bruce Peninsula were constructed in the sixties and seventies, these cottages are now in need of major renovations, repairs or utter removal and replacement.

One thing the Bruce Peninsula seems to still have is an abundance of vacant land, vacant land that can be anything from cheaper residential treed lots to larger pieces of land and bush parcels all near the water. What is truly amazing is the amount of waterfront lots that are priced very reasonably. Waterfront lots especially on the Lake Huron side (most of them facing west) that are priced at the same number or cheaper as normal residential lots that you would find in most towns and cities.These lots are not small, most being at least 150 to 190 feet wide and are 200 to 400 feet deep.

Waterfront lots like these are great to build your cottage quite near the water for the great views, keeping you close to your docks (still allowed to be built on Lake Huron) and allowing you to place your septic system, garages and other storage facilities at the back out of the way of the views and the fun activities like horse shoes, badminton, volleyball or lawn bowling.

The building fees from the local municipalities are way under the average for Southern Ontario and restrictions on building are fairly lacks. 

All of this points to an amazing opportunity for people to build a brand new waterfront cottage instead of having to buy something that needs more work then its worth.
