Nearly 3 acres with an impressive 549 feet of road frontage and more than 600 ft overlooking the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This rare 2.97-acre parcel offers an exceptional opportunity to build a custom home or private country retreat in one of Eastern Ontario's most picturesque settings. Gently wooded and privately positioned, the property features expansive canal views, natural beauty and peaceful surroundings. The shoreline is owned and protected by Parks Canada and is not included with the property; therefore, a private dock cannot be installed and the shoreline cannot be altered or improved. Enjoy the serenity and scenery of the canal without the responsibilities of direct waterfront ownership. Located in historic Burritt's Rapids near the scenic Tip-to-Tip Trail, along desirable River Road connecting Merrickville and Kemptville-an admired route known for its beautiful scenery, convenient connectivity and prestigious country properties. Year-round municipal road access and proximity to Ottawa offer flexibility for immediate or future development. Immediate possession available.
