Cottage of the Week: $2.7 million for a Georgian Bay getaway with a pirate ship
Cottage of the Week: $2.7 million for a Georgian Bay getaway with a pirate ship
ADDRESS: 168 Old Mill Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Georgian Bay
AGENT: Bob Emmett and Fred Shaw, Royal LePage Four Seasons Real Estate Centre, Brokerage
PRICE: $2,650,000
THE PLACE: A unique (how many homes greet you with a totem pole at the front door?) and grandiose (check out the chandelier in the bathroom) cottage that still maintains a home-y feel, thanks to wide-plank wood floors, reclaimed wood-beam ceilings and that old cottage staple, a moose head on the wall.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The 14-seat movie theatre means you won’t have kids underfoot on rainy days.
BIG SELLING POINT: We’ve seen a lot of cottages, but none with a cooler water feature than this offshore pirate boat and floating dock. It’s the kind of thing the kid from Blank Check would buy. Avast, ye mateys!
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: As one of the most kid-friendly cottages around (see movie theatre and pirate boat, above), you’re going to have a lot of the neighbourhood rugrats jumping around your property. Better invest in the services of a lifeguard.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $2,650,000
• 4 bedrooms
• 5 bathrooms
• 315 feet of waterfront
• 3 stone fireplaces
• 2-slip boathouse
• 1 grand piano
• 1 pirate ship

 and grandiose (check out the chandelier in the bathroom) cottage that still maintains a home-y feel, thanks to wide-plank wood floors, reclaimed wood-beam ceilings and that old cottage staple, a moose head on the wall.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The 14-seat movie theatre means you won’t have kids underfoot on rainy days.
BIG SELLING POINT: We’ve seen a lot of cottages, but none with a cooler water feature than this offshore pirate boat and floating dock. It’s the kind of thing the kid from Blank Check would buy. Avast, ye mateys!
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: As one of the most kid-friendly cottages around (see movie theatre and pirate boat, above), you’re going to have a lot of the neighbourhood rugrats jumping around your property. Better invest in the services of a lifeguard.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $2,650,000
• 4 bedrooms
• 5 bathrooms
• 315 feet of waterfront
• 3 stone fireplaces
• 2-slip boathouse
• 1 grand piano
• 1 pirate ship

Ghastly… except for the stove.
T.A.C.K.Y.
cant even go past pic #9…. did they fall in love with persian rugs ? I love how TL call this a getaway versus a cottage…. gross. It cant decide what it wants to be…
Haters gonna hate! I think this place is great! It is not taking itself too seriously and who wouldn’t have fun there?
I bet the future owner is going to be a Chinese, love the address number “168” literally means “YAT LOO FATT”, meaning “FOREVER PROSPEROUS”…this alone worth a million dollars.
I love it…
I love it….Imagine weekends DE-streesing there…
It’s huge, it’s waterfront so 2,6 mil is a bargain! You don’t have to live with the sellers furniture and what’s wrong with wood and stone in a “cottage”?
I love it,would live there year round.
The most gorgeous cottage I have ever seen!!!
I think the mud room has the best decor…
