Stylish modernism and private island life don’t often go hand in hand, but they needn’t be mutually exclusive. So proves Blanchette Island, one of the most tasteful properties you’ll find on the market today. Set in the island wonderland of Sans Souci in The Archipelago of Ontario’s Georgian Bay, Blanchette Island is 4.8 acres of lushly treed beauty, just minutes away from the regional gateway of Parry Sound.
Designed by a West Coast architect, Blanchette Island’s new 2,250-square-foot, three-bedroom main cottage is sublimely contemporary and airy, with window walls opening to the soft Georgian Bay breezes. The bright open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen has walk outs to a 240-square-foot deck/outdoor room that is sheltered by a cantilevered roof and gracefully steps down to smooth granite sloping to the waterfront. The master bedroom features a five-piece en suite bath and private deck, and the state-of-the-art kitchen and laundry are stocked with all-new appliances. The two-bedroom guest cottage features a living room, kitchenette, breakfast room, three-piece bath, front deck and rear BBQ deck.
Both the main and guest cottages have striking floors of salvaged hemlock throughout as well as slab granite showers, and are surrounded outside in exposed “barefoot” granite. Their western-facing orientations allow for the utmost in Georgian Bay island sunset viewing while the island’s sheltered eastern harbor offers deep-water docking. A waterside sleeping bunkie is right next to the dock, and a boardwalk and natural trails lead to a cozy log cabin bunkie deep in the woods.
Pristine waters surround Blanchette Island, offering endless potential for swimming, kayaking and all types of water sports. Marine life in this area is so unique that it’s part of the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-recognized ecosystem. And should you ever hanker for a taste of civilization, lovely Parry Sound, with its array of shops and restaurants, is always just a short boat ride away.
