199 North Shore Road

Rare offering! St. Lawrence River waterfront with a period home, barn and workshop set on six private acres, all under 900K. One of Howe Island's oldest residences is now offered for sale. This original 19th century hand-hewn square timber log cabin is nestled on 6.48 acres including 48 feet of pristine waterfront on the Bateau Channel. The expansive grounds include a small pine forest, several early apple trees, limestone outcroppings, lawn areas and fire pit. The original log cabin was estimated between 1830-1840. In 1972, the foundation was underpinned and a Viceroy addition with full basement was built to take advantage of the view of the river and the grounds. The log cabin hosts a study and dining room on the main floor, and two bedrooms and a new 3-pc bathroom on the upper level. The addition is a fabulous open concept Great Room with vaulted ceiling, custom kitchen and a second 3pc bathroom. The finished basement hosts two more rooms, perhaps a rec room and study, as well as storage room and laundry area. The outbuildings include an expansive barn, driveshed, insulated workshop and bunkie. This piece of paradise has something for everyone, a place to host memorable family events, yet also a tranquil place of retreat from a busy world -- now seeking a new family to continue its history. Howe Island is a richly diverse recreational paradise, with world-class sailing, power boating and water sports. It is also a great place for running, cycling and walking in a rural setting. Two ferry services connect the island with the mainland year round. Either ferry runs on demand and takes 5-10 minutes to board and cross the channel. The main ferry (west) is just 17km from Kingston City Hall, and the east ferry is just 5 minutes from Gananoque, making the resources and amenities of these two communities convenient to the residents of the island.
