THE STORY OF TAIT'S ISLANA Cottage Setting Rich in History1 Gene's Court | Tait's Island | Lake ManitouwabingThere is something special about owning a property in a place that has a story.Long before Tait's Island became a sought-after cottage destination, this land was connected to the early history of the McKellar area. Local historical accounts tell us that Tait's Island was not always an island. In the 1920s, William Tait acquired the property for back taxes, and the land was once used for timber and pasture. Historical accounts recall a time when a barn and small cabin stood on the island, horses grazed in the fields, and the shoreline at the end of what is now Gene's Court featured a sandy beach.By the 1960s, only a handful of cottages existed on Tait's Island. One local account recalls that when a cottage was built in 1966, there were only five cottages on the island. The island was still a quiet, largely undeveloped retreat where loons were abundant and the natural landscape remained remarkably untouched.The island's cottage heritage continued to evolve in the early 1970s when a group of island cottagers came together with an ambitious vision: to preserve the island's natural heart for future generations. Through their collective efforts, approximately 100 acres in the centre of Tait's Island were purchased and protected from subsequent development-an extraordinary example of a cottage community working together to preserve the character and natural beauty of the more than Imagine mornings overlooking the water, afternoons exploring the lake by boat, evenings gathered with family and friends, and weekends spent enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of Tait's IslandIt is an opportunity to own a piece of a special cottage community-one shaped by generations of families, local history and a shared commitment to preserving the natural character of this remarkable islandA piece of Tait's Island history.A lifetime of cottage memories (id:49269)
