Set at the end of a private lane on the shores of Opinicon Lake, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow offers 1,660 sq ft of updated living space on a 1.554-acre lot with direct west-facing waterfront. The main level has a primary bedroom, an open living area with a wood-burning fireplace, and a large deck with sunset views over the lake.

Opinicon Lake is part of the historic Rideau Canal system, part of the same waterway that connects Kingston to Ottawa, making it a particularly special address for boaters. The Queens University Biological Station and The Opinicon Resort are both on the lake, and the surrounding area is rich with natural and recreational interest.

The home itself sits on 4.7 acres and is built on an ICF poured concrete foundation, a testament to its solid, well-insulated construction. Inside, cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living room with light, and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level, plus a loft that works well as an additional sleeping area or home office. The lower level adds a finished recreation room with an electric fireplace and walk-out access to the yard. A large cedar deck overlooks the land as it slopes gently toward the clear, inviting water below.
The home is set up for year-round use with fibre optic internet and all major appliances included. Annual cooperative fees of approximately $3,522 cover common area hydro, docks, all maintenance, and taxes.
Who this is for: Buyers drawn to Bobs Lake who want a finished, move-in-ready home within a tight-knit cooperative community, with shared infrastructure taken care of.
