Cottage of the Week: $3.45 million for a waterfront house (plus farm!) in Prince Edward County
ADDRESS : 94 Soup Harbour Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Point Petre, Cherry Valley
AGENTS: Laurie Gruer and Sam Simone , Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage
PRICE: $3,450,000
THE PLACE: A low-slung three-bedroom house sitting on a 158-acre plot of workable farmland near Point Petre in Prince Edward County.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Being at the locus of locavorism. Foodies flock to Prince Edward County for its wines, artisanal cheeses and farm-to-table dining (and there’s even the opportunity for you to participate, since tests on this property’s soil show excellent potential for a vineyard).
BIG SELLING POINT: The property has over a mile of limestone shoreline. Nude sunbathing, anyone?
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Even though a local farmer takes care of the property, urban types may see it as a lot of land to take on.

WANT. Love it. Kitchen could use some updating, and as they don’t show the bathrooms I suspect there’s some issues there, but other than that, I’ll take it! Of course as I didn’t win the Lotto Max, they’ll have to knock that first number off the price.
Love it! and gotta love that property tax…. take me to this cottage oh so perfect. I would live there at wintertime too…
Are you kidding me? $3.45MM for stinkin’ Prince Edward County? For this pile of crap? Oh if I could short the Toronto real estate market…..
Seems like a lot of money for this property, it is not Oakville!!

@Pundit – why so angry? There is a lot of land and lakefront with the property, not just a house. A house that looks lovely and lived in, not thrown together by a McBuilder. A kitchen with a fireplace and an AGA? Dreamy.
OK. So the house is worth $450K. The land is $3 million? Not. Pure real estate sillyness.
@Cosmo : in Oakville, a 158ac lot with a mile of waterfront would probably cost about $100m
please stay in Toronto… all of you.
