About this home

Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own a true Canadian Shield private island on the crystal clear waters of Chandos Lake in North Kawartha. Spanning 3 acres of rugged pine forest, granite shoreline, and sweeping lake vistas, this rare offering blends unmatched privacy with the timeless charm of a 100 year old rustic cottage. The historic 5-bedroom cottage stands as a testament to classic Ontario lakefront craftsmanship, featuring original wood interiors, a welcoming great room, and the warm character only a century of history can create. With multiple bedrooms for family and guests, the cottage is perfectly suited for long summer stays, multigenerational gatherings, or a peaceful artist's retreat. Encircled by exposed rock outcrops, mature pines, and natural entry points, the island offers endless places to swim, sun, and explore. Enjoy panoramic sunrise and sunset views, quiet paddles along the shoreline, and the feeling of complete seclusion while still being just a short boat ride to the mainland. This is a once in a generation chance to secure a private island on one of North Kawartha's most sought after lakes, celebrated for its clean water, deep bays, and classic cottage-country atmosphere. Whether restored to its historic glory or re-imagined as a signature family compound, this island is a legacy property unlike any other.
