A rare chance to own on sought-after Diamond Lake near Combermere where waterfront, off-grid, year-round living meets the quintessential Canadian cottage experience. Opportunities on this pristine lake are few and far between, making this offering as compelling as it is singular. Built in 1969 and meticulously maintained, this charming retreat blends timeless character with practical, user-friendly systems, making it ideal as both a seasonal getaway or a comfortable year-round home. Wake up to breathtaking west facing lake views and ease into your day with a coffee in the screened-in sunroom, thoughtfully designed for optimal solar gain while keeping insects at bay-an ideal space to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, an open-concept living area with a vaulted ceiling in the living room is wrapped in warm wood tones, creating that classic cottage feel, while large windows frame the stunning waterfront and fill the space with natural light. The shoreline is a standout feature, offering clean granite and natural elements with a hard-bottom entry-perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating in crystal-clear water. From your dock, enjoy panoramic vistas across the lake to a dramatic rock face that attracts climbers year-round and adds to the unforgettable scenery. Fully off-grid yet easy to operate, the property includes a 2-panel, 4-battery solar system with a gas-powered generator for reliable backup. Heating is efficient and straightforward with a propane wall-mounted unit and a wood stove, providing comfort in all seasons. A drilled well and septic system support full-time use, and the roof was redone approximately five years ago. Pride in ownership is apparent from the moment you arrive. If you're searching for a waterfront cottage, off-grid home, or four-season retreat with incredible views, clean swimming, and true privacy, this Diamond Lake property delivers a rare and compelling opportunity.
