Enjoy your perfect summer escape at this rare find on Charleston Lake, a short 1.5 hr drive from central Ottawa. A beautifully renovated and decorated miniature "Lakehouse" offering comfort, style, and tranquility. This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage is ideal for both relaxation and remote work, with high-speed Starlink Internet providing a seamless connection. Tucked away on a quiet, private lane, this cottage features stunning views of Browns Island, part of the provincial park, and a sweeping panorama of Big Waters from the spacious deck. The water off the dock is ideal for a refreshing swim, while the gentle-sloped shoreline makes it easy to launch a kayak and offers a fun, safe play area for kids. Start your mornings with coffee on the deck, watching geese, herons, and otters drift by in the calm waters. When you're ready for adventure, explore the 200+ miles of shoreline or 100s of islands on Charleston Lake by paddle, or rent a boat from nearby Lakeline Lodge and Marina. Just a 10-minute drive takes you to the charming village of Athens, where you'll find the LCBO, hardware store, pharmacy, and farm-fresh local groceries or shop along the way by visiting the local farm-stands. Need more? Brockville's big box stores are only 30 minutes away, but you may never want to leave the slower rhythm of your new village lake-life. End the day with smores at the firepit, or a nice game of bocce ball or cornhole on the lawn. Surrounded by towering pines, hemlocks, and cedars, this cottage offers beautiful green-views year round. Recent updates to this (currently) 3-season cottage offers modern convenience, including: a 2021 heat pump for AC and heating, UV and RO water filtration (2021), owned hot water tank, 200 AMP electrical with EV rough-in, and an Eljen septic bed installed in 2020 and more! Whether you're here for a season or a summer, this thoughtfully updated Little Lakehouse is your ticket to comfort, nature, and unforgettable memories.
