From the Plank Road to the lake
Plank Road (Elgin County Road 19) is the main road north and south, through Port Burwell, Vienna, Straffordville and Eden, and the municipal office is in Straffordville, on Heritage Line.
Port Burwell sits at the mouth of Big Otter Creek, with a municipal beach, a large provincial park with camping, a wooden lighthouse that is one of the oldest in Canada, and the submarine HMCS Ojibwa open for tours.
What comes up for sale
Bungalows and rural homes make up most of Bayham's listings, with village homes in Straffordville, Vienna and Port Burwell, and some modular and mobile homes. Rural purchases need well and septic checks; our rural buying guide explains them.
See our current listings and rural properties in Elgin County.
Good to know
Bayham's building services issue septic permits. The Port Burwell shoreline falls under the Long Point Region Conservation Authority, so building near the water may need a permit; see our Lake Erie shoreline guide.
Public schools here are run by the Thames Valley District School Board and Catholic schools by the London District Catholic School Board. Catchments change, so confirm the schools for a specific address with the boards' own school locators before you buy.
