404 Reid Island

Welcome to a rare opportunity to own your very own private island, Reid Island, just over a 5-minute boat ride from Rideau Ferry. This 1885-built, 3-bedroom cottage sits on a single-owner island surrounded by a beautiful mix of flat rock and rugged shoreline. With calm, shallow areas perfect for children and deeper water off the dock for swimming, diving, and boat docking, the waterfront offers something for everyone. Located just off the main channel, the island is incredibly peaceful with calm waters and a true sense of privacy. The cottage is full of rustic charm and simple comforts, offering the perfect place to slow down and relax. It comes fully furnished - linens, towels, cookware, dishes, everything right down to the kitchen sink. All you need to bring is your food and drinks. Inside, wood floors run throughout, with exposed floor joists in the living room and open rafters upstairs adding to the warm, welcoming feel. The screened front porch includes a built-in daybed, perfect for naps or quiet mornings with a book, while the lakeside deck is ideal for soaking up the sun with a cold drink in hand. The main floor primary bedroom includes a window AC unit, and the two upstairs bedrooms have a portable floor AC to keep things cool in the summer. A 2-piece bathroom features a composting toilet and sink, plus there's a private outdoor shower tucked among the trees, a separate storage room, and hydro already on site. This is a place where life slows down, where you can unwind, unplug, and enjoy the simple joys of island living. Whether you're making memories with family or enjoying the peace and quiet on your own, this charming island cottage offers a truly special getaway that's ready for its next chapter.
