Experience exceptional privacy & grand panoramic views of Big Rideau Lake from this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom seasonal cottage on the desirable north shore. Complete with a stunning guest bunkie, this property offers the perfect combination of comfort, privacy & timeless cottage living. The cottage & bunkie each have their own septic tank connected to a professionally installed shared septic bed completed in 2007, providing added convenience for family & guests.

Inside, the cottage is warm, inviting & filled with character. Large lakeside windows, along with the corner kitchen window, frame spectacular views of the lake, filling the living spaces with natural light. Reclaimed wood flooring, cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, custom built-ins throughout both the cottage & bunkie, & a stunning stone fireplace with an airtight insert create a comfortable gathering space for family & friends. The thoughtfully designed corner kitchen features quality modern appliances, a sit up peninsula, generous workspace & beautiful lake views, while the screened porch is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails without the mosquitoes.

Step outside to experience one of Big Rideau Lake's most peaceful waterfront settings. With no neighbours in sight, resident herons, the haunting call of loons, songbirds & abundant wildlife become part of everyday cottage life. The shoreline is highlighted by exposed Canadian Shield granite that flows naturally into the lake, creating a classic Rideau landscape. A permanent dock provides excellent deep, weed free swimming, while a large floating dock tucked into a protected cove is ideal for fishing, launching a canoe or kayak, or simply relaxing by the water. Both shallow & deep water entry points make the waterfront enjoyable for swimmers of all ages.

A gentle brook meanders beside the guest bunkie, adding to the tranquil atmosphere, while the level lawn offers plenty of room for family games, outdoor entertaining & evenings around the fire. Modern comforts include baseboard heating throughout, ductless air conditioning in both the cottage & bunkie, low maintenance composite decking & a detached two car garage.

Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, spectacular south facing lake views, outstanding swimming, excellent fishing & such a beautifully maintained cottage & guest bunkie. Whether you're gathering with family, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of Big Rideau Lake, this is a waterfront retreat designed to create lasting memories for generations to come.
