Rustic Lakefront Retreat with Endless Potential on Lake Ontario
Discover a rare opportunity to own a private, peaceful escape nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario. This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath cabin is tucked into a wooded .82-acre lot with an impressive 170 feet of waterfront — offering breathtaking views, unmatched privacy, and direct access to the shoreline via a scenic wooded trail.
Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space highlighted by knotty pine walls, cathedral ceilings, and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and rich wood countertops. Large windows and sliders invite the outdoors in, framing views of the lake and trees throughout the home.
Wake up in the lakeside primary bedroom and step onto the deck with your coffee in hand to greet the morning sun and calming sounds of nature. The full bath is bright and modern, and each bedroom offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. On your cooler days you can unwind by the wood burning stove while each window allows you to see and feel your surroundings.
Bonus Potential: The lower level offers approximately 450 square feet of unfinished space — perfect for expanding your living area, creating a guest suite, or bringing your lakefront dream to life. With walk-out access and lake views, the possibilities are wide open.
Step outside and enjoy the multi-level decking, ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing under the canopy of trees. Follow the private trail down through the woods to your very own stretch of Lake Ontario shoreline — perfect for kayaking, swimming, beachcombing, or watching the sunset.
Located just minutes from the Sterling Nature Center, this is more than a property — it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a personal escape, vacation home, or income-producing getaway, this rare lakeside gem is ready for your vision.
