Tucked away in a lovely Georgian Bay archipelago, protected from the prevailing westerly winds, is a private island sanctuary as peaceful as its name. The 1.3-acre Isle of Rest, in the highly desirable Long Sault area of Sans Souci, invites relaxation with its spectacular views to the north and south, two sand beaches, and 2,800-square-foot turnkey cottage with 200 square-foot guest cabin. Its relatively flat terrain, a rarity in the area, allows for easy ambling around the island’s interconnected pathways to take in the ornamental beds planted with native species and raised-bed vegetable gardens.
The charming, two-story timber-frame main cottage, constructed in 2006, is the work of highly regarded local builder Rosepoint Construction. Clad in cedar board with a cedar shake roof and copper flashing, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom hideaway has an open-concept living room/dining room/kitchen with soaring 20-foot fir-beamed ceilings and a loft with its own second-floor deck and outdoor shower. Natural light floods the space courtesy of abundant glass doors and windows, spotlighting the interior’s gleaming Brazilian Cherrywood hardwood floors and natural pine walls. The custom kitchen features a reclaimed rosewood countertop, French Provincial distressed-finish cabinetry, and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances. A generous cedar deck surrounds the cottage, creating added space to bask in the surrounding views. The off-the-grid one-bedroom waterside bunkie has a built-in king-size bed, large deck with outdoor shower, and southwest views.
Isle of Rest’s protected deep-water harbor on its leeward southeast side has two sturdy, steel tube docks with tie ups for five boats and room for a floatplane. A wide range of amenities, including the local marina, gas dock, general store, The Sans Souci Association children's camp, a private tennis club, and the famous Henry's Fish Restaurant, are only a 12-minute boat ride away. It will always be hard to leave this idyllic isle, but when it’s necessary, the Toronto Pearson International Airport is only a two-hour drive from Parry Sound, accessible via a 20-minute boat ride through the South Channel’s calm waters.
