Spectacular 16-acre Delhaven Island is one of the largest outer islands in the Sans Souci cottage region of Ontario’s Georgian Bay and one of the last in the area that is still relatively undeveloped. The island, which has breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Western and Umbrella islands, recently received approval for division into three large lots of approximately five acres each. All three lots feature elevated building sites, gorgeous western views, sheltered coves perfect for harbors, and sand beaches.
Since the early 20th century, when it was purchased from the Crown, Delhaven has been in the same family. The first generation of owners bought a cottage kit from the T. Eaton Company catalog and had it constructed on a high point of the island overlooking a sheltered cove, adding a boathouse, docks and a sleeping bunkie in the process. Their descendants modified, modernized and enlarged the two-bedroom cottage, extending the outdoor living space with a screened porch, flagstone patio and wooden decking. This original vintage cottage, which sits on the most western of the three lots, is the tree-dappled private island’s only development.
Delhaven presents a remarkable opportunity for a buyer to create an extended family compound or to develop one lot and hold the remainder for future generations and appreciation. The island is just a short boat ride from the Sans Souci community center, children’s camp, tennis club and local marina, and just 20 minutes by boat to Parry Sound.
