Right now there are 10 waterfront cottages for sale on Big Rideau Lake. Asking prices run from $700K to $2.5M, and the middle listing is $1.07M. Most are in Rideau Lakes, Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley.
Big Rideau is the largest lake on the Rideau Canal, a long, deep trough of water running roughly 32 kilometres from the Narrows to Rideau Ferry. Read the full Big Rideau Lake guide.
Direct waterfront means the lot reaches the water, so you can swim, dock a boat and watch the sun set from your own shore. Frontage, shoreline type and exposure do most of the work on price. A hundred feet of hard sand facing west is not the same as a hundred feet of weedy bay facing north, so compare lakes and shorelines as carefully as you compare buildings.
