THE PROPERTY
Large waterfront acreage on Buck Lake. This beautiful and picturesque property includes 3 separate adjoining parcels of land with over 200 acres of dramatic Canadian Shield and more than 6,000 feet of lakefront facing and abutting Frontenac Park. Together, Kismet and the Park occupy the entire south end of the lake, ensuring a glorious and peaceful, westerly, wilderness view from the entire Kismet property in perpetuity. The land is rugged and the shoreline varies from rocky to shallow as you get closer to the end of the bay.
ABOUT BUCK LAKE & LOCATION
All 3 parcels are accessed from Perth Road via a private lane — Kismet Lane. Easy access to Kingston, one of Ontario's most charming cities, with all of the character, services, and benefits it has to offer, including the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Thousand Islands, Queen's University, and regional health care services. Only 2.5 hours from Toronto and Montreal, and 1.5 hours from Ottawa. The south end of Buck Lake is protected by Frontenac Park, guaranteeing a pristine westerly view forever.
Who this is for: Buyers seeking unparalleled privacy, a legacy compound, or a conservation-minded retreat on a quiet lake. Note: the land is not able to be severed.

THE COTTAGE
Cozy cottage perched on a hill overlooking beautiful Opinicon Lake. This west-facing cottage has a large deck on the side of the hill and landscaped stairs leading down to the lane across to the dock. The waterfront here has a gradual entry with about 5 ft of depth off the end of the dock, making it a great location for boating and swimming. The cottage is serviced with a lake water system and a full septic system. The cottage features 3 bedrooms, a 3pc bathroom and an open-concept kitchen and living room with a woodstove for those chilly nights and has access out to the deck from this area. There are baseboard heaters throughout the cottage for heating as well.
ABOUT OPINICON LAKE & LOCATION
The location is private and peaceful with the waterfront located just across the lane. Opinicon Lake is part of the Rideau System which offers miles of boating opportunities. Fine dining can be found at the Opinicon Resort, which is located right across the lake by the historic Chaffey's Lock. Kingston is just 45 minutes to the south or the town of Elgin is located approximately 20 minutes away.

LOWER LEVEL, GARAGE AND LOT
