Description

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a unique 80 acre estate property on a quiet bay on Big Rideau Lake. The property has been in the same family for generations and has recently renewed and upgraded by the current owners and is currently being offered for sale.
This very private 80 acre retreat is nestled amongst beautiful mature trees on the crystal clear waters of quiet Murphy’s Bay on Big Rideau Lake. It hosts a spectacular 3,000 sq. ft. main house (built in 2008), a 1200 sq. ft. guest house, an annex, a boat house with a coveted sleepover, a 24x36 garage with a loft, a workshop, a stable with two box stalls, and paddocks. There are several decks for relaxing while enjoying the serenity, joined by beautiful stone and rustic log walkways. The very private waterfront on the spring fed deep water lake boasts a boathouse with plenty of dockage, a swim raft with a slide, and a mooring ball. The property is divided by Sherwood Road and each side has a separate role number. There are 5.94 acres of very private waterfront on Murphy’s Bay. There is also 75 acres of mixed forest across Sherwood Road. The land has extensive nature trails that can be enjoyed year round as well as over 4600’ of road frontage which offers both severance and subdivision potential, with Hydro available at both ends of the 75 acre parcel.
