More Reasons to Buy in – Elliot Lake:  Ontario’s New Cottage Country

Unique Public Sector Land Development

     “Security and peace of mind make the difference.” 

The City of Elliot Lake, through its Ontario government-appointed agency – Lake Shore Properties Elliot Lake – has for the first time in recent Ontario history offered Crown land for sale to the public.  It has developed 200 prime waterfront lots on Dunlop Lake and Quirke Lake and has sold over 200 lots to date. 

Unlike private sector development, Crown land can now be purchased through the City of Elliot Lake for private ownership.  Purchasers know that there is real peace of mind in dealing with a large public institution.  The decision-making process is made simple and easy because all of the information is on the table at the time of sale and there is no commissioned sales person hurrying a purchaser through the process. 

“Our mission is to give the prospective client all of the information and tools needed to make the best decision possible for themselves and their family interests.  It’s an information driven process delivered without the unnecessary pressure for a staff to make a commission cheque or to meet an artificial quota,” says Wayne Wilcox, C.E.O. of Lake Shore Properties.  “Our clients become our friends and neighbours, there’s a real difference in the way we handle ourselves and the relationships that we build with them as a result,” he adds. 

Going the Distance

     “It make dollars and sense.”

Purchasers from the G.T.A., like Mike and Judy Tann, have looked for years to find that idyllic setting where they can find peace and quiet without the “hands in your pocket” worries associated with financing the soaring property prices of traditional cottage country.  Within hours of their first visit, they found their dream location on the shores of pristine Dunlop Lake, located within the city of Elliot Lake. 

“Anything you’d want to do at a resort, you’ll enjoy – at a fraction of the cost.”

Clients from Sudbury, Barrie, Toronto, Oshawa, Kitchener, Oakville, London, Windsor, and as far away as Fort McMurray, Alberta and Glendale, Arizona have discovered that the City of Elliot Lake has everything that their family needs for the fullest enjoyment of life’s pleasures in a pristine and affordable setting.  The few extra hours driving to their new cottage properties in Elliot Lake is saving these clients hundreds of thousands of dollars.
