Tucked along a quiet backwater of the Ottawa River, this custom-built home sits on a full acre with close to 90 feet of shoreline and a private sandy beach. A long, tree-lined driveway leads to a detached 2-car garage with tall doors, perfect for boats or toys. Inside, the living room is the showstopper with 14-foot cathedral ceilings, a propane fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with light and frame the water views. The main level has 3 bedrooms, including a primary with a 3-piece ensuite, plus a second full bath, stacked laundry, and a versatile bonus room that could be a gym or office. Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the living area, adding a cool architectural touch. Recent updates include a 2024 Generac generator and a new roof (2025). The kitchen is functional with a dining area, and the whole main floor flows out to a large deck. It's not fancy, but it's comfortable and practical. The property is just 2.3 km from Hugli's Blueberry Ranch and about 4 km to Pembroke's restaurants like Boston Pizza. With a septic system, drilled well, and propane forced air heating, it's off-grid but not roughing it. Priced at $829,900, it's one of only a few waterfront listings in the area, and it's been on the market less than a week-so if this sounds like your kind of place, you should move fast.
