A rare opportunity to own a true Rideau River waterfront retreat where everyday living feels like a getaway. Set along approx.100 feet of direct frontage on the main channel of the picturesque Rideau River, this cherished property offers the kind of setting that defines waterfront dreams - private shoreline and dock, boating, swimming, fishing, and quiet moments by the river's edge. Tucked along a treed lot and just under half an acre, it delivers both privacy and an effortless lifestyle, only minutes from Manotick and Kars. The two-storey BC western cedar sided home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is designed to take in river views and natural light throughout. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly, with a covered/enclosed back porch, expansive deck, pool and hot tub area all oriented toward the water, perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding as the river drifts by. Blending comfort with function, with a low-maintenance metal roof, detached garage with bonus upper loft, and a generous driveway for ample parking. Outdoors, the lifestyle continues with landscaped grounds, a natural gathering space by the water, and in-ground pool (with new 2026 liner!). A GenerLink system offers added peace of mind for backup power, and thoughtful upgrades like a water treatment system with reverse osmosis and natural gas BBQ hookup to enhance everyday conveniences. This is more than a home, it is a waterfront escape, a place to slow down, host, gather, and enjoy the river through every season. Min 48 hour irrev.
