    This is what summers on Kennebec Lake are supposed to feel like. Quiet mornings with a coffee by the water, a paddle across the lake before the day begins, afternoons swimming off the dock, boating and fishing, and evenings gathered around the fire under the stars. Welcome to 1068 Pleasant Hill Lane, a private cottage retreat tucked into the trees on the shores of beautiful Kennebec Lake. Stretching approximately 12.5 km, Kennebec is a deep, clear lake with plenty of water, bays and shoreline to explore by boat, canoe, kayak or paddleboard. Anglers can spend their days fishing for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, while the deep, clean water makes jumping off the dock for a swim just as tempting. Set on a picturesque 0.6-acre treed lot with deep, clean waterfront, a private dock and waterside deck put you right at the lake for swimming, paddling, fishing or simply settling into a Muskoka chair. Follow the stairs through the trees to the bright 1,357 sq. ft. cottage offering three bedrooms, one bathroom, hardwood floors, large windows and open-concept living and dining. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth on cooler days, while the massive deck offers plenty of space to dine and entertain. A large fire pit is ready for nights under the stars, and a new bunkie sleeping up to four gives family and friends their own guest space. Fully winterized for four-season enjoyment, life here doesn't end with summer. Spend fall weekends by the fire and winters snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, skating and ice fishing. Located just off Highway 7 near Arden, you're approximately 1.5 hours from Ottawa and 3 hours from Toronto, making weekend escapes remarkably easy. From summer mornings on the water to winter adventures on the lake, this is a place to enjoy Kennebec in every season. More details

    There are cottages, & then there are places that simply could not be recreated. Meisel House is one of them. Set atop the Precambrian Shield on Beaver Lake in Central Frontenac, this extraordinary retreat is surrounded by the rugged beauty of Meisel Woods Conservation Area. Originally known as Colimaison, the home was designed by Kingston architect Wilfred Sorensen for Canadian political scientist John Meisel & artist Murie Meisel. Its name references the French colimaçon, meaning snail or spiral; a fitting nod to the home's remarkable radial design. At its heart, a sculptural spiral staircase wraps around a dramatic multi-sided glass fireplace beneath soaring timber ceilings. Curved walls, exposed wood, changing floor levels, built-in shelving & expansive glazing create an interior that feels completely connected to the landscape. The living & dining spaces flow around the central hearth, complemented by the original wood kitchen, an elevated office/library, lofts, 3 bedrooms & flexible guest spaces. 2 screened porches extend the space outdoors. Outside, the home settles naturally into its surroundings, where granite outcrops, moss, forest & meadow lead toward the waterfront. Follow the path to Beaver Lake & a substantial cedar dock, ideal for swimming, paddling, fishing or simply taking in the quiet. A wood-burning barrel sauna adds to the 4-season experience. This is more than a cottage; it is architecture, landscape & history intertwined. Surrounded by approximately 130 acres of conservation land around the 60-acre headwaters lake, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of Central Frontenac's most distinctive waterfront properties. Conveniently located for both weekend escapes & longer stays, Meisel House is approximately 15 mins from Sharbot Lake, 30mins to Perth, 45mins from Westport, roughly 1hr from Kingston, & approximately 1.5hrs from Ottawa, offering a remarkable sense of seclusion without feeling removed from everyday amenities.

    A rambling, fascinating four-bedroom steel-roofed farmhouse on 263 acres just north of Mountain Grove and Hwy 7. A Rogers radio tower has been strapped with steel cables to the top of what is apparently the highest point in Central Frontenac and provides guaranteed income of $776.41 each month, plus $1500 per year. It's a stupidly pretty mix of mixed forest, along with a small amount of meadow/pasture (20 to 30 acres, maybe) mostly next to the road. That gravel road in to the house bisects the clear waters of Sharbot creek, running north to the horizon and rolling distant hills. You could spend a lifetime cataloguing the flora and fauna and wildlife, or simply exploring, You could use the farmhouse as the base for a fishing and hunting camp (bass, pike, deer, bears, and even - though rarely - moose), and this may well be the most straightforward future. That blue roof is keeping everything warm and dry, and the floor plan is interesting and features some cathedral ceilings and elevated walkways, some 19th century beams, but a full restoration would take both time and money. This very large, very beautiful property is located an hour north of Kington, ninety minutes from Ottawa and about three hours east of Toronto. HST may well be applicable to a portion of the sale, but those pastures are quite limited and are not presently in use. More details
