Custom Cottages in Wasaga Beach
Wasaga Beach has long been one of Ontario's favourite cottage destinations, and building a custom cottage here means creating a retreat that captures the spirit of lakeside living while delivering modern comfort and performance. Mighton Construction builds custom cottages in Wasaga Beach that are designed for the way families actually use their waterfront and near-water properties—with open layouts, generous outdoor living spaces, and durable finishes that handle sand, sun, and the demands of four-season use.
Our Wasaga Beach cottage designs embrace the natural surroundings. Large windows and sliding glass doors frame views of Georgian Bay or the surrounding dunes, while covered porches and screened-in rooms extend the living space outdoors. Inside, we use materials chosen for both beauty and resilience—engineered hardwood, porcelain tile, and moisture-resistant trim that looks great and stands up to the unique conditions of cottage life along the beach.
Whether you are replacing an aging seasonal cottage with a year-round build or constructing on a new lot, Mighton Construction manages every aspect of your project. We navigate municipal planning requirements, engineer foundations suited to Wasaga Beach's sandy soils, and build with the insulation and mechanical systems needed for genuine four-season comfort. The result is a cottage that feels like an escape from the everyday while performing like a premium home.
What it costs
What a Custom Cottage Costs in Wasaga Beach
Plan from roughly $400 per square foot — the same starting point as our Wasaga Beach custom homes, and often a step above it once a lot is close to the water. The drivers are predictable when you know the town, and our open-book, cost-plus budgets put a real number on each one before you commit to anything.
- Engineered foundations — designed for beach sand and near-water soils.
- Durable exteriors — materials specified for sun, wind, and blowing sand.
- Servicing upgrades — replacing aging septic or servicing on older cottage streets.
- Demolition first — removing the seasonal building that usually stands on the lot.
Local builder
Cottage Country, Five Minutes From Our Office
We are the cottage builder that does not have to drive to cottage country — Mighton Construction is headquartered in Wasaga Beach, minutes from every beach area in town. That proximity shows up in the build: daily site presence rather than weekly visits, trades who live locally, and a team you will still see at the rink and the soccer field long after the final walkthrough. From the busy main beach areas to the quieter east-end shores, we know these streets, their servicing quirks, and what the Town and the conservation authority will ask of your lot before drawings are ever submitted.
Why Mighton
The Same Team, From First Call to Final Walkthrough
We take on a limited number of projects each year so Jeff and Adam Mighton are personally involved in every one — including yours in Wasaga Beach.

Budget & Planning Guidance
Custom cottages and waterfront homes often start around $400+ per square foot — similar to or higher than custom homes — due to site access, shoreline conditions, foundations, durability requirements, and finish expectations. Final costs depend on design, site, and scope.
Costs vary by design, site conditions, materials, drawings, and approvals. These planning ranges are not quotes.

Client reviews
What Clients in the Area Say
They just finished our ICF basement in Wasaga Beach, and the results are incredibly solid and perfectly executed. Jeff and Adam were exceptional, overseeing every detail with expertise. It’s a huge piece of our new home, and knowing it’s built with such care gives us so much peace of mind.
From our first conversations with Jeff and Adam, we knew they understood our vision for a multi-generational cottage. The skilled team demonstrated remarkable craftsmanship in every detail of our 3,500 sq ft home, and the quality is evident throughout. They built more than a cottage — they built the foundation for countless family memories.
