Wake up to breathtaking, panoramic views of Lake Huron on 1.43 acres - where the sound of the water, the surrounding nature, and the serenity of Tobermory come together in one extraordinary property. This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home blends peaceful living with affordable luxury, offering a retreat that feels worlds away, while still being fully turn-key and move-in ready. Three of the bedrooms feature walkouts to the wrap-around deck overlooking the water and private dock. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a two-way fireplace, walkout to the deck and hot tub, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired en-suite showcasing a striking battered silver soaker tub. The main level living room mirrors this sense of grandeur with cathedral ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows, and the second side of the two-way fireplace. The hardwood-finished kitchen flows seamlessly to the deck and BBQ area, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. The lower level adds even more versatility with an additional bedroom, entertainment space, and a walkout leading directly to the dock and garden. Outside, multiple parking areas and a detached 2-car garage provide convenience, all surrounded by nature and the calming soundtrack of the shoreline. This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle defined by peace, views, and the beauty of Lake Huron.

Percentages are of the 420 responses in this category. Statistics Canada rounds counts and withholds small ones to keep individuals unidentifiable, so categories with too few people to publish are absent rather than shown as zero.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
