About this property

Picture your evenings here: a campfire by the shoreline, deer and foxes wandering through, and a beautiful sunset over the water every night. 560 Front Road on Amherst Island offers 5.91 acres with 176 feet of deeded waterfront and a depth of 1,612 feet. That gives you plenty of room to build your dream home or cottage, with space, privacy and nature all around you. The walk to the water is level and easy. The shoreline is rocky, shallow and very clean, and a dock is in place for swimming, paddling, or sitting with your feet over the water. Some of the groundwork is already done: 200 amp hydro service is connected, and the property has a well and a holding tank. A bunkie, gazebo and storage shed are ready to enjoy now. As a bonus, a camper trailer is included if you'd like a place to stay while you plan your build. Owning here also means island life. A 15-minute, year-round ferry crossing from Millhaven puts you about 20 minutes from Kingston or Napanee and only a few hours from Toronto, Ottawa, or Montreal. The island itself offers a general store with LCBO and a Canada Post outlet, a public beach, a JK-8 school, the weekly summer Market & Social at the Agricultural Pavilion, artist studios and a seasonal restaurant. Amherst Island is known for exceptional birding, quiet cycling roads and its collection of Irish dry stone walls. It's a close-knit community that moves at your pace, and a lovely place to put down roots.
