Country Character on 2.7 Acres, Minutes from Westport

There's a particular kind of property that feels like it's been lived in and genuinely cared for, and 311 Burridge Road is that. Set on 2.7 landscaped acres just minutes from the Village of Westport, this 3,587 sq ft two-storey home combines the warmth of an older original section with a thoughtfully designed newer addition.

Inside, the layout is generous and practical, with a huge country dining room made for hosting, a centrally located kitchen, and an extra-large living room with walkout to the rear deck.

Space, Flexibility and a Setting That Delivers

Upstairs there are three bedrooms including a spacious primary, a 4-piece bathroom, second-floor laundry, and a large storage room with real potential as a home office or hobby space. Central air, two drilled wells, a full septic system, and year-round access from a municipal road round out the practical side. Several lakes and boat launches are just minutes away. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a rural retreat with room to breathe, this property delivers on both counts.

Spring 2026 in the Rideau Lakes Region: A Market Recap

A look at what has come to market, what has sold, and where things stand heading into summer.

A Varied and Active Spring Listing Season

Since mid-April, Gurr Real Estate has brought a wide range of properties to market across Eastern Ontario's lake country. On the waterfront side, listings have spanned Buck Lake, Indian Lake, Clear Lake, Upper Rideau Lake, Whitefish Lake, Long Lake, Westport Pond, and Bobs Lake, covering everything from deep-acreage estates to compact 3-season cottages and vacant building lots. Off-water, the spring season brought country homes, village properties in Westport, multi-generational setups, and accessible entry points like the Wolfe Springs fractional villas. The variety has been notable: there has genuinely been something for buyers at most price points and lifestyle intentions this spring, from under $50,000 for fractional ownership to over $1.7 million for a landmark Buck Lake acreage.

Sales Have Been Moving

Several well-positioned properties have sold this spring, including a Viceroy home on Bobs Lake, a 20-acre eco retreat near Kingston, a Buck Lake cottage on Smith Lane, the long-anticipated sale of the Kismet Lane acreage on Buck Lake, a waterfront home on Loon Lake, a red brick village home in Westport, and most recently 9889 Perth Road south of town. The common thread among what has sold: properties that are priced realistically, presented well, and match what buyers in this market are genuinely looking for. Waterfront with direct access, year-round liveability, and proximity to Westport continue to generate the strongest interest.

The Broader Market Context Heading into Summer

At the national level, the Bank of Canada held its overnight lending rate at 2.25% in late April, marking the fourth consecutive hold. While that stability is broadly positive for buyers, inflation ticked up to 2.4% in March, driven largely by higher energy prices tied to global tensions. Fixed mortgage rates have already begun edging upward in response to bond market movements, and the Bank has signalled that further cuts are unlikely in the near term. The next rate announcement is scheduled for June 10th.

Royal LePage president Phil Soper noted that "for buyers planning to enter the market this year, securing a mortgage pre-approval sooner rather than later is a prudent step." That advice resonates particularly here in cottage country, where competition for well-located waterfront properties tends to pick up sharply as the season turns and buyers move from browsing to buying. Nationally, the aggregate home price declined about 2% year over year in Q1 2026, though the quarter-over-quarter trend was essentially flat, suggesting a market finding its footing rather than continuing to slide.

For the Rideau Lakes region specifically, the fundamentals remain strong. Inventory is present, prices are realistic, and the lifestyle appeal of this area is not going anywhere. If you have been watching the market and waiting for the right moment, the combination of current rate stability and motivated sellers makes this as reasonable a window as any heading into the peak cottage season. Reach out to Tammy or Heath to discuss what the market looks like for your specific situation.

1 Pond Street, Village of Westport | $649,000

Character Home with Westport Pond Views, Steps from the Village

Municipal water, central air, and central vac make for comfortable year-round living. This is the kind of Westport property that rarely comes available, and when it does, it tends to move quickly.
