I have listed a new property at 4504 KEATING Street in Oil City. See details here

If you have been searching for a home that gives you more space, more privacy, and a quieter lifestyle without feeling disconnected from everyday amenities, I think 4504 Keating Street in Oil City deserves a closer look.

Located in the small residential community of Oil City, just approximately five minutes outside of Petrolia, this well-kept brick bungalow combines a practical family-friendly layout with a beautiful mature property and an exceptional 24' x 30' detached garage.

For buyers exploring Petrolia homes for sale, rural properties near Petrolia, or Sarnia Lambton real estate, this is an opportunity to get the benefits of small-town living while remaining incredibly close to shopping, schools, restaurants, recreation, and services in Petrolia.

Welcome to 4504 Keating Street in Oil City

One of the first things I notice about this property is the setting.

Oil City is a small community surrounded by the rural landscape that makes this part of Lambton County so special. At 4504 Keating Street, mature trees, established landscaping, and a spacious lot create a sense of privacy that can be difficult to find in more densely developed neighbourhoods.

The home itself is a solid brick bungalow with a functional layout that offers plenty of room for everyday living.

Inside, the main floor features a spacious living room, separate dining area, and bright kitchen with updated white cabinetry. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main floor, along with a four-piece bathroom and an additional two-piece bath.

For buyers who prefer having the majority of their living space on one level, this layout is particularly appealing.

Key Features of This Oil City Home

There is a lot packed into this property, both inside and outside.

Some of the features that stand out to me include:

• Solid brick bungalow

• Large lot with mature trees and established landscaping

• Three main-floor bedrooms

• Additional bedroom in the lower level

• Four-piece main-floor bathroom

• Additional two-piece bathroom

• Spacious living room

• Separate dining area

• Bright kitchen with updated white cabinetry

• Large lower-level rec room

• Dedicated laundry area

• Abundant storage space

• Brand-new outdoor gazebo

• Flagstone campfire area

• Garden shed for additional storage

• Large driveway with plenty of parking

• 24' x 30' detached garage

• Impressive garage ceiling height

• Approximately five minutes from Petrolia

The detached garage is one of the features that really separates this property from many other homes in this price range and surrounding area.

At 24 feet by 30 feet, there is substantial room for vehicles, tools, hobbies, a workshop setup, or additional storage. For someone who works on vehicles, enjoys woodworking, needs space for recreational equipment, or simply wants a garage that can actually accommodate more than parking, it adds tremendous versatility to the property.

Outdoor Living with Space to Actually Enjoy

The backyard is another reason I think buyers will remember this home after seeing it.

The mature trees and established landscaping create a setting that already feels comfortable and settled. Instead of starting with a completely blank yard, you have outdoor spaces that are ready to enjoy.

The brand-new gazebo creates a great place for summer dinners, morning coffee, or evenings outside.

Nearby, the flagstone campfire area gives you another dedicated space to gather with friends and family. There is also a garden shed for the lawn equipment, gardening supplies, and all of those outdoor items you would rather not have taking up space in the garage.

For buyers looking beyond traditional homes for sale in Sarnia, properties in smaller Lambton County communities can offer an entirely different lifestyle and often provide the outdoor space that is harder to find within the city.

Who Is 4504 Keating Street Perfect For?

I can see this home appealing to several different types of buyers.

A family may appreciate having three bedrooms on the main floor, an additional bedroom downstairs, multiple bathrooms, and a large rec room.

Someone relocating from Sarnia or another larger community may be drawn to the privacy, mature property, and slower pace of Oil City while still being only minutes from Petrolia.

The detached garage also makes this property especially interesting for tradespeople, hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or anyone who has been specifically searching for a home with a large shop or garage.

It could also be a great fit for buyers who want a bungalow because they prefer the convenience of having bedrooms, the kitchen, living areas, and a full bathroom all located on the main floor.

Living in Oil City and Being Close to Petrolia

Location is about more than the street you live on. It is about what your everyday life looks like once you move there.

Oil City gives you a quiet, small-town residential setting while Petrolia is only approximately five minutes away. That means you can enjoy the privacy and pace of a smaller community without giving up convenient access to everyday necessities.

Petrolia offers shopping, restaurants, recreation, schools, healthcare services, community events, parks, and other amenities.

Having grown up in this area, I know how appealing that combination can be. You can come home to a quieter property while still having the conveniences of town just a short drive away.

For buyers considering Petrolia homes for sale, I always recommend looking at surrounding communities too. Sometimes expanding the search by only a few kilometres opens up properties with larger lots, different features, and a lifestyle you may not have originally considered.

Why This Home Stands Out in Today's Sarnia Lambton Real Estate Market

When I help buyers navigate Sarnia real estate and the broader Sarnia Lambton real estate market, I encourage them to look beyond cosmetic features and consider what would be difficult or expensive to recreate somewhere else.

At 4504 Keating Street, that includes the mature property, small-town setting, large driveway, outdoor entertaining areas, and especially the oversized detached garage.

Kitchens can be changed. Paint can be updated. Flooring can eventually be replaced.

It is much harder to recreate a large lot surrounded by mature trees or suddenly add a 24' x 30' detached garage to a property that does not have the space for one.

That is why buyers who are buying a home in Sarnia or elsewhere in Lambton County should consider the complete property, not just the interior finishes.

Common Buyer Questions About 4504 Keating Street

What schools serve Oil City?

School eligibility can depend on the property's address, school board, grade level, and program. I recommend confirming current school boundaries directly with the applicable local school board before making a decision based on a particular school.

What are the property taxes?

Property taxes can change from year to year. I can provide the current tax information for 4504 Keating Street as part of the listing details so buyers can accurately factor taxes into their monthly and annual housing costs.

What utilities should buyers consider?

Utility costs vary depending on usage, household size, service providers, and the home's systems. When purchasing any property, I recommend reviewing available utility information and understanding which services are connected to the property before finalizing your purchase.

How far is Oil City from Petrolia?

One of this property's biggest location benefits is its proximity to Petrolia. 4504 Keating Street is approximately five minutes outside of town, making shopping, services, schools, recreation, and restaurants easily accessible by car.

Is Oil City a good alternative to buying in Petrolia or Sarnia?

For the right buyer, absolutely. If your priorities include privacy, a quieter community, outdoor space, and garage or workshop potential, it can be worthwhile to expand your search outside larger centres.

Every buyer's priorities are different, which is why I like to compare the property, location, commute, and lifestyle rather than focusing only on the municipality written on the listing.

Thinking About 4504 Keating Street?

If you have been searching through homes for sale in Sarnia, Petrolia homes for sale, or properties throughout Lambton County and have not quite found the combination of space, privacy, and garage potential you want, 4504 Keating Street may be worth adding to your list.

If you have questions about the property, Oil City, the surrounding Petrolia area, or what buying here would look like, I am always happy to help.

And if you would like to see the home in person, reach out and we can arrange a private showing.

I have listed a new property at 6594 JAMES Street in Brooke-Alvinston. See details here

If you have been searching for an affordable home with more space, more privacy, and a quieter lifestyle, 6594 James Street in Inwood is a property worth a closer look.

Located in the peaceful community of Inwood, this charming 1½-storey home sits on approximately half an acre with only one immediate neighbour. It offers that small-town feeling many buyers are looking for, while still keeping you within an easy drive of Petrolia, Sarnia, and Strathroy.

For buyers exploring Sarnia Lambton real estate, especially those who are willing to look just outside the city for more property and privacy, this home presents an interesting alternative to traditional homes for sale in Sarnia.

Welcome to 6594 James Street in Inwood

One of the first things I think buyers will appreciate about this property is the setting.

You have approximately half an acre to enjoy, only one immediate neighbour, and plenty of outdoor space. It is the kind of property that gives you room to garden, entertain, relax outside, or simply enjoy having a little more distance between you and the neighbours.

Inside, the home is bright, comfortable, and move-in ready. A brand-new kitchen and new appliances give the main living space a fresh feel, while consistent flooring throughout helps create a cohesive look.

The layout also offers flexibility that could work for buyers at several different stages of life.

Key Features of This Inwood Home for Sale

Some of the highlights of 6594 James Street include:

• Approximately half-acre lot

• Only one immediate neighbour

• Brand-new kitchen

• Brand-new kitchen appliances

• Consistent flooring throughout

• Three bedrooms

• Main-floor bedroom

• Two additional bedrooms upstairs

• Convenient main-floor laundry

• Oversized carport

• Detached single garage

• Spacious and private outdoor area

• Approximately 15 minutes to Petrolia

• Approximately 30 minutes to Sarnia

• Approximately 30 minutes to Strathroy

• Move-in-ready interior

• Quiet small-town location

For buyers who have been watching Petrolia homes for sale but are open to expanding their search, Inwood can provide another option without putting you too far from Petrolia's everyday amenities.

A Brand-New Kitchen and Move-In-Ready Interior

The kitchen is one of the biggest updates in this home.

Rather than purchasing a property and immediately budgeting for a kitchen renovation, you can move into a home where that work has already been completed. The brand-new appliances are another added convenience for buyers looking for something that feels ready from day one.

The consistent flooring throughout the home also helps the spaces flow together and creates a clean, updated appearance.

In today's market, I find many buyers are paying close attention not only to purchase price, but also to the amount of work they will need to complete after closing. A home with important interior updates already completed can make budgeting for homeownership more predictable.

A Flexible Layout With Main-Floor Living Options

Another feature I really like about this home is the main-floor bedroom.

Depending on your lifestyle, it could function as your primary bedroom, a guest room, an office, or simply provide more flexibility as your needs change over time.

Main-floor laundry adds another layer of everyday convenience.

Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms. That gives you three bedrooms in total, with options for children, guests, hobbies, or working from home.

For first-time buyers, young families, downsizers, or anyone who wants flexibility without purchasing a much larger home, this layout makes a lot of sense.

Who Is 6594 James Street Perfect For?

I could see this property appealing to several different types of buyers.

A first-time buyer may appreciate the opportunity to get into the market while gaining a larger lot and garage space.

A young family may love having approximately half an acre for children to play outside, along with three bedrooms and the quieter pace of a small community.

Someone looking to leave a busier neighbourhood may appreciate having only one immediate neighbour and significantly more outdoor space.

It could also be an option for buyers who work in Petrolia, Sarnia, Strathroy, or surrounding communities and do not mind a short commute in exchange for a more peaceful setting.

Small-Town Living in Inwood, Ontario

Inwood offers something different from living directly in Sarnia or Petrolia.

Life here is quieter and more rural in feel. You are surrounded by the kind of open space and small-community atmosphere that can be difficult to find in larger urban neighbourhoods.

At the same time, you are not isolated from the communities where you will likely do much of your shopping, dining, working, and accessing services.

The property is approximately:

• 15 minutes from Petrolia

• 30 minutes from Sarnia

• 30 minutes from Strathroy

That makes 6594 James Street particularly interesting for buyers who want small-town living without giving up reasonable access to larger communities.

If you are currently buying a home in Sarnia but feel like your budget is not getting you the lot size or privacy you want, expanding your search into surrounding Lambton County communities can be worthwhile.

Why This Property Stands Out in the Sarnia Lambton Real Estate Market

One of the conversations I regularly have with buyers is about priorities.

Do you want to be directly in the city, or would you drive a little farther for more land? Do you value a newer subdivision, or would you prefer a quieter property with fewer neighbours? Would you rather renovate after closing, or purchase something with major cosmetic updates already completed?

There is no universal right answer.

What makes 6594 James Street stand out within the broader Sarnia real estate and Sarnia Lambton real estate market is the combination of affordability, approximately half an acre of property, privacy, three bedrooms, a new kitchen, garage and carport space, and proximity to several larger communities.

For buyers searching online for homes for sale in Sarnia but struggling to find the space they want within their budget, looking slightly outside the city can open up very different possibilities.

Common Buyer Questions About 6594 James Street

What schools serve Inwood, Ontario?

School boundaries can depend on the property address, school board, grade level, and available programming. I always recommend confirming current school eligibility directly with the applicable school board before making a purchasing decision based on a particular school.

If schools are an important part of your home search, I can also help point you toward the appropriate resources to verify current boundaries.

What are the property taxes?

Property taxes can change from year to year and should always be confirmed using the current listing information and municipal records.

If you are considering this property, I can provide the current tax information available for the home and help you understand how it fits into your estimated monthly ownership costs.

What should buyers know about utilities?

Utility costs vary based on usage, household size, heating systems, service providers, and seasonal conditions.

When purchasing a rural or small-town property, I recommend looking beyond the purchase price and understanding the home's servicing and typical operating costs as part of your due diligence.

How far is Inwood from Sarnia and Petrolia?

6594 James Street is approximately 15 minutes from Petrolia and 30 minutes from Sarnia. Strathroy is also approximately 30 minutes away.

This location gives buyers the quieter atmosphere of a small community while keeping several larger centres within a reasonable drive.

Is Inwood a good alternative to buying in Sarnia?

For the right buyer, absolutely.

If your priorities include more outdoor space, privacy, fewer immediate neighbours, and a small-town setting, communities surrounding Sarnia can provide options that may look very different from properties available within the city itself.

Interested in Seeing 6594 James Street?

If you have questions about 6594 James Street, living in Inwood, or how this property compares with other homes for sale in Sarnia, Petrolia, and throughout Lambton County, I am always happy to help.

My approach is to give you the information you need to decide whether a property actually makes sense for your lifestyle, budget, and long-term plans.

If you would like to arrange a private showing or simply have a few questions before deciding whether you want to see it, feel free to reach out.

I have listed a new property at 953 EXMOUTH Street in Sarnia. See details here

If you are looking for a one bedroom apartment for rent in Sarnia that offers character, natural light, and a convenient central location, 953 Exmouth Street is worth a closer look.

This unique upper-level apartment is available for $1,300 per month plus utilities and offers something a little different from a typical rental. With vaulted ceilings, skylights, an open-concept layout, a private balcony and sun deck, and a spacious bathroom, it has plenty of features that make it feel like home.

As a local Realtor working throughout the Sarnia Lambton real estate market, I know location is often just as important for renters as it is for buyers. One of the biggest advantages of this property is how easy it makes everyday life.

Welcome to 953 Exmouth Street in Sarnia

The apartment is located on the upper level of 953 Exmouth Street in central Sarnia.

When you enter, a tiled foyer provides a dedicated entry before heading upstairs into the main living space. Once upstairs, one of the first things you will notice is the natural light.

Vaulted ceilings and skylights throughout the apartment create a bright, open feeling that gives this one-bedroom unit plenty of personality.

The main living area has an open-concept design with room to create separate kitchen, dining, and living zones while still maintaining an easy flow throughout the space.

Key Features of This Sarnia Rental

At $1,300 per month plus utilities, this apartment combines practical features with some unique details that are not always easy to find in a one-bedroom rental.

Property highlights include:

• One bedroom

• One full bathroom

• Upper-level unit

• Vaulted ceilings

• Multiple skylights providing natural light

• Spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area

• Oversized closet for additional storage

• Private rear balcony and sun deck

• Large bathroom

• Separate bathtub and shower

• Tiled entrance foyer

• Central Sarnia location

• Walking distance to grocery stores, pharmacies, shopping, and other amenities

• Convenient access to nearby bus stops

• $1,300 per month plus utilities

For someone who wants the convenience of apartment living without feeling like they are living in a small, closed-in space, the vaulted ceilings and skylights are a major advantage.

A Bright and Open Living Space

Natural light can completely change how a home feels, and this apartment has plenty of it.

The combination of vaulted ceilings and skylights helps make the main living area feel open and airy. Because the layout is open concept, there is flexibility in how you arrange your furniture and define your living and dining spaces.

There is also an oversized closet, which provides valuable additional storage. Storage is often one of the first compromises people make when renting a smaller apartment, so having that extra space is a practical bonus.

Private Balcony and Sun Deck

The bedroom has direct access to a private rear balcony and sun deck.

It is an inviting outdoor extension of the apartment and gives you your own place to enjoy a morning coffee, read outside, or simply get some fresh air without leaving home.

For renters comparing apartments for rent in Sarnia, having dedicated private outdoor space can help a property stand apart.

Who Is 953 Exmouth Street Perfect For?

I could see this apartment working particularly well for a single professional, someone downsizing, a young adult looking for their own space, or anyone who values being close to everyday amenities.

It could also be a great fit for someone who does not want to rely on a vehicle for every errand.

Being within walking distance of grocery stores, pharmacies, shopping, and nearby bus stops makes the location practical for day-to-day living.

Living in Central Sarnia

One of the biggest benefits of 953 Exmouth Street is its central location.

When people think about Sarnia real estate, it is easy to focus entirely on the house or apartment itself. I always encourage my clients to consider how a location is going to affect their daily routine too.

Here, you have convenient access to many of the services and amenities you use regularly. That can mean less time driving across the city and more flexibility when you need to pick up groceries, stop at the pharmacy, go shopping, or access public transportation.

For anyone considering buying a home in Sarnia in the future, renting can also be an opportunity to experience a neighbourhood and learn more about different areas of the city before deciding where you eventually want to purchase.

Why This Property Stands Out in the Sarnia Real Estate Market

While much of my work involves homes for sale in Sarnia, rentals are also an important part of our local housing market.

What stands out to me about 953 Exmouth Street is the combination of location and character.

This is not simply a basic one-bedroom layout. The vaulted ceilings, skylights, open living space, oversized storage closet, large bathroom, and private outdoor space give the apartment features that can make everyday living more enjoyable.

At the same time, its central Sarnia location keeps practical amenities close by.

Whether you are renting today or watching Sarnia Lambton real estate with the goal of purchasing in the future, understanding what different properties and neighbourhoods offer can help you make a more informed housing decision.

Common Questions About 953 Exmouth Street

What schools are near 953 Exmouth Street?

Central Sarnia provides access to schools within both local public and Catholic school systems. School boundaries and eligibility can change, so I always recommend confirming the applicable school directly with the appropriate school board based on the tenant's individual requirements.

What are the property taxes?

Because 953 Exmouth Street is being offered as a rental, the tenant does not pay the owner's property taxes directly. The monthly rent for this upper-level apartment is $1,300 plus utilities.

Which utilities are included?

The apartment is being offered at $1,300 per month plus utilities. Prospective tenants should confirm the specific utility responsibilities and estimated costs before signing a lease so they have a clear understanding of their total monthly housing expenses.

What are the location benefits?

The central Sarnia location is one of the strongest features of this property. Grocery stores, pharmacies, shopping, and nearby bus stops are all easily accessible, making it convenient for everyday errands and transportation.

Is this a good option for someone new to Sarnia?

It could be. A central location can be particularly helpful if you are relocating to Sarnia and want convenient access to everyday necessities while getting familiar with the community.

Renting Today and Buying a Home in Sarnia Tomorrow

Not every renter plans to rent forever.

If you are currently renting but thinking about eventually buying a home in Sarnia, I am always happy to help you understand what that path could look like. You do not need to be ready to buy tomorrow to start asking questions about down payments, mortgage pre-approvals, neighbourhoods, or homes for sale in Sarnia.

My goal is to be a local real estate resource before, during, and after a move.

Interested in 953 Exmouth Street?

If you have questions about this apartment or would like more information about the rental application and viewing process, feel free to reach out.

I am also happy to help if you are exploring rentals, considering purchasing, or simply trying to understand your options in the market.

There is never any pressure. Sometimes the best place to start is simply with a conversation.

I have listed a new property at 9871 PHOEBE Lane in Lambton Shores. See details here

If you have been searching for a year-round home near Lake Huron where life feels a little quieter, 9871 Phoebe Lane is one property worth knowing about.

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road in Kettle & Stony Point First Nation, this beautifully maintained two-bedroom home offers the relaxed feel of cottage living with many of the comforts you would want in a full-time residence. You are just a short walk from the sandy Lake Huron shoreline and minutes from Ipperwash Beach.

As a local Realtor serving Sarnia-Lambton, I know buyers searching homes for sale in Sarnia often expand their search when they realize what surrounding lakeside communities can offer. If privacy, outdoor living, garage space and proximity to the lake are high on your wish list, this home offers a lifestyle that is difficult to recreate in the city.

Welcome to 9871 Phoebe Lane

One of my favourite things about this property is how easy it feels.

The home is all on one level, with two bedrooms, one full bathroom and main floor laundry. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, a downsizing opportunity or a place to enjoy weekends near Lake Huron, the layout is practical and comfortable.

The main living space is bright and open concept, bringing the kitchen, dining area and living room together. The brand new kitchen is a major highlight, with a large island that gives you plenty of space for everyday meals, entertaining or gathering with friends and family.

A propane fireplace adds warmth and character to the living space, making this a home that can be enjoyed well beyond the summer months.

Key Features of This Lake Huron Home

There is a lot packed into this property, both inside and outside.

Some of the standout features include:

• Two bedrooms

• One full bathroom

• Convenient one-floor layout

• Main floor laundry

• Brand new kitchen

• Large kitchen island

• Open concept kitchen, living and dining area

• Cozy propane fireplace

• Municipal water line connection

• Spacious covered rear deck

• Backyard fire pit area

• Private front hot tub

• Mature trees and peaceful surroundings

• Oversized detached double garage

• Double-wide concrete driveway

• Short walk to the Lake Huron shoreline

• Minutes from Ipperwash Beach

• Short drive to Indian Hills Golf Club

• Quiet dead-end road location

For me, the outdoor spaces and garage really help set this home apart.

The covered rear deck gives you a place to enjoy the backyard in different weather, while the fire pit creates an easy gathering space for summer nights and fall evenings.

Out front, the private hot tub is surrounded by mature trees, adding another way to enjoy the property year-round.

An Oversized Garage With Room for More Than Cars

For buyers who need storage, workshop space or somewhere to keep recreational equipment, the detached double garage is a huge bonus.

There is room for vehicles, but it could also be ideal for storing your boat, kayaks, golf cart, beach gear and other toys that naturally come with living near Lake Huron.

That versatility is important when comparing properties throughout the Sarnia Lambton real estate market. Garage and storage space can be difficult to add later, particularly in established beach communities.

The double concrete driveway also provides plenty of additional parking.

Who Is 9871 Phoebe Lane Perfect For?

I could see this property appealing to several different types of buyers.

If you are downsizing, the one-floor layout and main floor laundry make everyday living simple.

If you are looking for a year-round alternative to traditional cottage ownership, this home gives you the ability to enjoy the Lake Huron lifestyle throughout every season.

It could also appeal to buyers who work in Sarnia-Lambton but want their home life to feel more removed from the city.

For people buying a home in Sarnia who have not found the right combination of privacy, outdoor space and lifestyle, expanding your search toward Ipperwash and Kettle & Stony Point can introduce a completely different type of property.

Lake Huron Lifestyle Near Ipperwash Beach

Location is a major part of the story here.

9871 Phoebe Lane sits in a peaceful beach community near Lake Huron. You can take a short walk toward the sandy shoreline, spend summer days at Ipperwash Beach and come home to a quiet property surrounded by mature trees.

For golfers, Indian Hills Golf Club is also just a short drive away.

This is the type of location where your weekends can naturally include beach walks, golf, evenings around the fire and time outside without needing to plan an elaborate getaway.

It is an appealing option for buyers who want to stay within the broader Sarnia-Lambton area while enjoying a quieter pace of life.

Why This Property Stands Out in the Sarnia Real Estate Market

Today's buyers have options, which makes the individual features of a home increasingly important.

When I look at Sarnia real estate and the surrounding Sarnia Lambton real estate market, I encourage buyers to think beyond finishes alone. Kitchens and paint colours can change. Location, lot characteristics, garage space and proximity to Lake Huron cannot easily be recreated.

9871 Phoebe Lane combines several features buyers regularly ask me for. It has a move-in ready interior, a new kitchen, one-floor living, significant garage space, multiple outdoor entertaining areas and proximity to the lake.

For buyers browsing homes for sale in Sarnia but prioritizing lifestyle over being directly in the city, this is exactly why I recommend looking at surrounding communities too.

Common Buyer Questions About 9871 Phoebe Lane

What schools serve the area?

School eligibility and transportation can depend on the specific property, school board and current boundaries. I always recommend that buyers with school-aged children verify the applicable school directly with the local school board before making a purchasing decision.

I can also help point you toward the appropriate resources when you are considering the property.

What are the property taxes?

Property taxes are an important part of determining the true carrying cost of any home. For this property, buyers should review the current tax information together with any applicable land lease and band fees before purchasing.

Because this home is located on leased land in Kettle & Stony Point First Nation, the ownership structure and ongoing costs are different from purchasing a typical freehold property in Sarnia-Lambton. I am happy to walk prospective buyers through those differences.

What utilities does the property have?

One important feature is that the home is connected to a municipal water line, giving you the convenience and reliability of municipal water service.

The home also features a propane fireplace. Buyers should review the property's complete utility information and typical operating costs as part of their due diligence.

What are the biggest location benefits?

For me, the lifestyle is the biggest benefit.

You have a quiet dead-end road, mature trees, a short walk to the Lake Huron shoreline, Ipperwash Beach nearby and Indian Hills Golf Club just a short drive away.

You get the feeling of being away from it all without leaving the broader Sarnia-Lambton area.

Is this a traditional freehold property?

No. This property is located on leased land in Kettle & Stony Point First Nation, so purchasing it is different from buying a traditional freehold home.

Land lease and band fees are approximately $5,500 per year. The property requires a cash purchase and a police check. Short-term and long-term rentals are not permitted.

These are important details to understand before arranging financing or making an offer, and I can help explain what buyers should consider when purchasing a home on leased land.

Thinking About Lakeside Living in Sarnia-Lambton?

Whether you are actively buying a home in Sarnia, comparing nearby beach communities or simply exploring what is available outside the city, I am always happy to answer questions.

9871 Phoebe Lane offers something different from a typical city property. It combines a comfortable year-round home with outdoor living, an oversized garage and the Lake Huron lifestyle just beyond your doorstep.

If you would like to see the property in person or have questions about leased land, the location or the buying process, reach out anytime. There is never any pressure. My goal is to make sure you have the information you need to decide whether a property is right for you.
