Closing Date: September 24, 2025, 4:00 p.m. ET A Place to BelongHuron Shores offers a welcoming, close-knit environment where everyday living comes with a traffic‑free commute, essential amenities close at hand, and year‑round access to Northern Ontario’s North Shore of Lake Huron. From hiking the Trans Canada and Voyageur Trails to kayaking the Mississagi River and exploring quiet country roads, life here blends natural beauty, recreation, and community spirit at a comfortable pace. Available SitesMultiple parcels in the Iron Bridge and Highway 129 areas are available, ranging from approximately 0.34 acres to over 2 acres. Properties are unserviced and sold as-is, where-is, with buyers responsible for confirming servicing and development potential. Most are zoned R1 – Residential Low Density, while one rural-zoned parcel allows residential, agricultural, and limited commercial uses. Room for IdeasWhile most parcels are suited to single or duplex dwellings as-of-right, there may be opportunities for creative approaches—such as merging adjacent parcels through a deeming by-law or exploring zoning changes—subject to municipal approval and service capacity. Many zones also permit certain home-based businesses, allowing residents to integrate small-scale professional, instructional, craft, and other uses within their homes.
