116 Nuthatch Lane

Original Remarks

Welcome to 116 Nuthatch Lane in beautiful Rideau Lakes a rare chance to own a custom-built, off-grid waterfront retreat on Whitefish Lake. Set on a secluded peninsula in a quiet bay, this one-of-a-kind property offers 1,200 feet of private shoreline with clean, deep water, and a dock. Enjoy unobstructed views of Rock Dunder and direct boating access to the world-famous Rideau Canal system, allowing you to cruise all the way from Kingston to Ottawa. Nestled on 15 acres of treed land for ultimate privacy or even an option to sever a lot or two off, the property is accessible year-round and just minutes from Seeleys Bay for groceries or hardware store and Hwy 15 for an easy commute. The ICF-built home features 2 bedrooms (could be 3), 2 full bathrooms, and a spacious loft ideal for guests, an office, or a family room. The primary bedroom opens to lake views through patio doors for a peaceful start to the day. The open-concept living space is cozy and functional, with radiant floor heating, a woodstove, a large dining area, and an oversized kitchen island perfect for entertaining. The bright four-season sunroom with its walls of windows, woodstove, and built-in bar is the perfect space to unwind. Outside, enjoy a covered patio, hot tub, or campfire with tranquil lake views. Craftsmanship shines through with custom metal railings, a unique spiral staircase, and massive beams harvested from trees on the property. The approx. 1,000 sq ft heated garage/workshop includes a half bath and could be converted into a guest suite or rental unit. In winter, enjoy cross-country skiing, skating, and pond hockey right outside your door. Powered by solar with an automated diesel backup generator, the property also comes with three years worth of firewood. A fenced 50 x 50 garden with asparagus and strawberries, a raspberry patch, and a greenhouse support self-sufficient living. The home is even wheelchair accessible! This is a truly special year-round home or nature-lovers paradise.
