Welcome to 290 Clarkes Road in Stokes Bay, a property that carries both history and opportunity. Once home to the well-known Colonel Clarkes Tavern, which was sadly lost to fire. What remains today is a blank canvas. 7 acres of commercially zoned land waiting for its next chapter. The setting is unmistakably Bruce Peninsula. A mix of open grassy clearings, mature trees, and rugged limestone rockery reflects the natural beauty this area is known for. Just minutes from the waters of Lake Huron, Stokes Bay is a quiet shoreline community where fishing boats still launch in the morning and sunsets light up the horizon each evening. It's a place where life slows down, and the landscape inspires. With commercial zoning already in place, this parcel opens the door to a wide range of possibilities. Whether your vision leans toward a boutique lodge, destination restaurant, recreational hub, or another entrepreneurial venture, the potential is here for something new to flourish. Being sold in as-is condition. This is more than just a piece of land, it's a chance to re-imagine a landmark property in one of the Bruce Peninsula's most peaceful communities.
