RARE OPPORTUNITY | Offered in "as is", where-is" condition, with no representations or warranties by the Seller, this exceptional WATERFRONT holding presents a rare and compelling opportunity along the highly sought-after BAY OF QUINTE. Held within the same family for three generations, this is a legacy property now being offered to the market for the next visionary to unlock its full potential. Ideally positioned in a prime, high-exposure location along Highway 2, the offering combines strong arterial visibility with an expansive, elongated lot that stretches from the roadway all the way to the shoreline of the Bay-creating a unique depth of land rarely found in waterfront properties. The existing improvements include a 3 bedroom bungalow (1.471 sq ft) a detached 2 car-garage (720 sq ft), and fully enclosed porch, offering flexibility for interim use, rental income, or future redevelopment. A picturesque, tree-lined driveway framed by mature apple trees leads to the property's defining feature; a PRIVATE HARBOUR of exceptional quality. This sheltered waterfront includes a durable concrete sea wall, private boat ramp, and generous space for docking and lakeside enjoyment. A detached floating two-story structure captures sweeping unobstructed views across the Bay, presenting a truly unique element with significant creative and value-add potential. Surrounded by a mix of commercial uses and residential zoning-including neighbouring commercial properties and R3-26 zoning next door-this property is ideally positioned for those exploring rezoning, redevelopment, or a signature mixed-use or waterfront concept. The scale of the lot, combined with direct water access and prime location, opens the door to a wide range of possibilities. With four-season appeal-from boating and water sports to winter recreation-this is a rare opportunity to secure a generational waterfront asset in a prime location, offering both immediate enjoyment and long-term development potential.
