In and Around Chatham-Kent
Have you ever dreamed about living on or near the water? When you have been on vacation have you asked your what it would be like to wake up everyday and be able to look out over the lake or the scenic river view from your window. Jump into your boat that is tied up at the dock outside your back door and go for a slow cruise or sit with your after dinner drink and watch the sunset over the water any night you want?
Many of us dream just those dreams but we talk ourselves out of it. It is just too expensive! Where would I go? How could I afford It?
Great News! Chatham-Kent, that Hidden Gem in Southwestern Ontario is just such a place. It is located between Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie and has several Resort locations in and around the area. Prices are good and they offer a very affordable lifestyle.
Mitchell's Bay is just 15 minutes from Chatham and is located on the eastern shore of Lake St. Clair. There is a marina where you can keep your boat or several cuts leading to the lake where you can have a home or cottage and keep your boat right behind the house or under your cottage. The Mitchell's Bay Marina received a $400,000.00 improvement in infrastucture in June of 2011. The improvement project included upgrades to hydro lines and the contruction of a new Boardwalk as well as replacement of 435 feet of seawall in the north basin of the marina. The original steel wall, installed more than 20 years ago was only eight feet in length. The new retaining wall is now replaced with steel piling that is either 12 or 14 feet in length allowing for greater stability now and incoming years. There is a Beach and Playground for the children and a great Park for Family Reunions and Gatherings. In the winter the lake freezes and cars can be seen driving all over the lake to their fishing huts. Each year, weather permitting, the residents turn the picnic shelter into an outside ice rink for everyone to enjoy. There are townhouses overlooking the lake, cottages and year round homes to chose from. The latest development is a beautiful area called Dover Shores with gorgeous Lake Homes, each with their own dock. There are still a few building lots left to build your Dream Home.
