Luxury custom homes in Bobcaygeon

Bobcaygeon sits between Pigeon Lake and Sturgeon Lake, with the Trent–Severn Waterway running right through the village. It has long been a cottage destination, and more and more people now want to live here all year.

That often means replacing an older cottage with a proper year-round home. We help you work out what the lot allows and design a home that makes the most of the water.

  • 01 / WATERFRONT

    Homes on Pigeon, Sturgeon and nearby lakes.

  • 02 / COTTAGE REBUILDS

    From seasonal cottage to year-round home.

  • 03 / ROCK AND SHORELINE

    Foundations and septic planned for the site.

  • 04 / CITY PERMITS

    Applications to the City of Kawartha Lakes.

What building in Bobcaygeon involves

On the water, Kawartha Conservation regulates much of the shoreline and flood-prone land, and work in or along the Trent–Severn Waterway, such as docks, boathouses and shoreline walls, involves Parks Canada. Setbacks from the water often decide where a new home can sit and how large it can be.

Some lots around Bobcaygeon have shallow soil or rock close to the surface, which affects the foundation and the septic design. Building permits come from the City of Kawartha Lakes. We check all of this before design starts.

  • Vsevolod M

    Great company to work with. Attention to details, customer service and friendly communication.
    Highly recommend.

  • Laura Barrett

    After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.

    From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.

    The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.

    Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
    We are so happy with the final results!

  • J Oxley

    These guys put another level on our house and did a great job. Everyone was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and communicative. I highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.

Can I replace my Bobcaygeon cottage with a bigger home?
It depends on the zoning, the shoreline setbacks and whether the lot is in a regulated area. Some lots allow a larger home, others limit it to the existing footprint. We check this early.
Who do I need approval from to build near the water?
The City of Kawartha Lakes for the building permit, often Kawartha Conservation for the shoreline, and Parks Canada for work in or along the Trent–Severn Waterway.
Is rock a problem for building?
Not necessarily, but it changes how the foundation and septic are designed and can affect cost. We look at the site before design so it is planned in.
