The most attractive endowment of this property is the secluded setting with great curbside appeal whilst only a short walk/cycle to beaches at Port Ryerse and neighboring lakeside hamlets. Located only minutes west of Port Dover, and south of the Town of Simcoe is about 30 minutes south of 403 at the Paris (Brantford) Ontario exit.

Port Ryerse is the site of an excellent natural harbour on the mouth of Young creek. Port Ryerse was named after Samuel Ryerse, Lieutenant of The County, after his death in 1812.
Port Ryerse located on Erie’s Long Point Bay is a good spot for fishing. It also has a nice sandy beach for swimming, boating and other water related activities; home of Hidden Valley campground and RV park plus Norfolk County Provincial Park.

Ontario's South Coast has been called many things including the Ontario Riviera, Blue Water Country and the Lake Erie Coast"

The lakeside village was burned to the ground by invading Americans 200 years ago and also supplied many of the soldiers for the militia that fought back, including at major battles in other places in Ontario. A new history book about the village will also be launched. Extensive renovations to the church, a small but distinctive wooden building/church that serves as focal point for the community and appears in printed materials about the village. The church tower needs to be stabilized and its bell placed back inside again.

The building is significant because it acts as a community centre and hosts dinners and art shows as well as traditional religious ceremonies such as weddings.

The village is inextricably tied in with the War of 1812 not just because it was razed by the Americans. It is also, Addison noted, the birthplace of the Norfolk Militia, which fought in battles throughout Ontario. They recruited people here. Samuel Ryerse was the first captain of the militia.

Well sheltered from westerly winds, Long Point Bay in Lake Erie’s eastern basin is the busiest boating area on the Canadian shore. Port Dover has a large municipal marina, but further west the bay is also home to several private marinas with more than 2,500 slips – or wells, as they are usually called on Lake Erie. Thousands of trailer boaters also launch every day.

Long Point Bay’s warm shallow water, sandbars and beaches – plus the protection from westerly winds – make it ideal for boating. So it’s no surprise the area has plenty of marina options, including one of Ontario’s largest recreational boating facilities Turkey Point Marina, which on the north shore as you head into Long Point’s Inner Bay.
