Rare chance to acquire a stunning 8.6 acre parcel on the south shore of Big Rideau Lake, one of Eastern Ontario's most sought-after waterways and a crown jewel of the historic Parks Canada Rideau Canal system - with lock access from Kingston to Ottawa.Totalling approximately 8.6 acres across two parcels straddling Dragonfly Lane (1.6 ac / 7 ac) approximately, this property offers exceptional flexibility for the discerning buyer. Whether you're envisioning a private estate, a recreational retreat, or a future development, the land delivers the fundamentals that are increasingly hard to find. With approximately 175 feet of pristine waterfront greets you at the shoreline - high, dry, and flood-free. On a clear day, the sun dances off the water in brilliant sparkling blue, and as evening falls, the western exposure delivers those legendary Rideau Lake sunsets that make this stretch of shoreline truly unforgettable. The water here is the real draw, with direct access to one of Canada's most celebrated recreational waterways. Infrastructure is already in place: 400-amp electrical service is on-site with a hydro meter, a meaningful head start that distinguishes this offering from raw vacant land. Recent land survey of waterfront parcel was completed in 2023. Just minutes from Rideau Ferry and the local marina, and a short drive to Smiths Falls for dining, shopping, and professional services - including Smiths Falls Community Hospital - this property balances true cottage country seclusion with everyday convenience. Properties combining acreage, waterfront frontage, and existing services at this scale on Big Rideau Lake simply do not come available often. Come see it for yourself!
