Set on just over 0.6 acres with more than 163 feet of clean Lake Ontario shoreline, this Amherst Island waterfront property offers a rare combination of privacy, usable shoreline, and excellent boating access with a north-east exposure sheltered from prevailing southerly and westerly winds. The 90-foot rolling steel dock extends into deeper water and is well-suited for sailboats. Launch, dock, lift (lift not included), and haul out directly from your own property. With open water and steady conditions along this shoreline, it's an ideal setting for sailors, as well as kayaking and canoeing around Amherst Island. There's also a mooring nearby. The lot is well-treed and gently landscaped, with multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy nature, including a large deck, a screened porch overlooking the lake, and a campfire area near the shoreline. Inside, the home is bright and functional. The main floor offers a large kitchen, family room, and a sunroom that serves as the summer living and dining space, bringing in lake views. Two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and main-floor laundry support easy one-level living. In the summer, the screen porch will be a popular place to relax. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom, providing space for family or guests. A separate bunkie offers flexible use as a guest space, studio, or quiet retreat. The detached two-car garage and workshop is ideal for projects, storage, or toys. This home features a 200-amp service, a whole-house generator, and a 50-amp EV charger outlet. Located just a short ferry ride from Millhaven, Amherst Island is one of Eastern Ontario's best-kept secrets. Known for its welcoming community, natural beauty, and quiet lifestyle, the island offers a rare opportunity to enjoy waterfront living just 25 minutes from Kingston.
