Property Description
Located in the heart of the Sans Souci Cottage Community,4+acre Ellen Pearce Island
has been owned by the same family for over half a century.
Upon purchasing they chose to retain the original 1 3/4 storey 4-bd, 2-bath structure, a
classic turn of the century Georgian Bay (~1910) cottage. As such, it has become a local
landmark presiding over the south channel, its familiar “In Residence” flags flying. As the
family expanded a second sleeping cabin was built, later converted into a 3-bd, 2 bath
cottage designed by John Stark, and built in 2007 by Rose Point Construction.
The cottages are simple and streamlined in deference to the natural surroundings. Both are
wrapped by windows on 4 sides illuminating the interiors and framing views to water. Both
have large sun rooms and fireplaces. Each cottage has a 3-pc and a 4-pc bath. The newer
cottage is winterized and can be fully enjoyed through 3 seasons. As both cottages have full
kitchens the island is ideally suited as an extended family compound.
The cottages, each with large deck, overlook wonderful views, open water to the south, sunset
on the western horizon, cruisers plying the channel, and west to Frying Pan Island; location
of (SSCA)Sans Souci Cottagers Association's new Community Centre, currently under
construction, which will feature a covered pavilion, library/lounge, kitchen and fitness
facilities.
A natural harbour in the island's lee shelters two floating docks and, in the front bay a
waterside swim/sundeck and a steel dock welcome guests to the island.
The island's swimming is wonderful and back bays offer endless opportunities for exploring by
kayak and canoe. The area is legendary for its superb sailing, boating and fishing as are the
various picnic islands for shore lunches; Pomeroy, the Umbrellas and the Westerns. For more
organized activities the SSCA runs social events, children's day camp, pickleball, basketball
and immediately adjacent to SSCA is the Sans Souci Tennis Club.
