LOT 13 FRONT ROAD — Loyalist (Amherst Island), Ontario

Imagine waking up on your own hilltop, coffee in hand, looking out over your 800+ feet of waterfront, the north channel, and the mainland beyond. This 99.6 acre parcel on Amherst Island offers a rare opportunity to build on a hilltop, closer to your shoreline, or in the woods - the land rises roughly 20 metres in elevation from the deeded waterfront across Front Road at the north end up to Concession Road 2 to the south. Design a home around the view, whatever your fancy. Beyond the building site, the land itself is working for you: high producing hay fields (fertilized annually and actively hayed by a local farmer) keep the property taxes low, while mature hardwood woodland and a small pond and marsh (home to Blanding's turtles) offer privacy, nature, and room to roam. It's also been used as a great hunting ground in the past, if that's your thing. With municipally maintained year-round roads (Front Road, Emerald 40 Ft Road, and Concession Road 2) on 3 sides, you have flexible access options as you plan your build. Electrical service is already brought to the property with 200-amp panel availability, and a driveway and parking pad are in place to get you started. A 2025 survey and preliminary severance discussions with Loyalist Township add further flexibility down the road. Owning here also means island life: a 15-minute, year-round ferry crossing to Millhaven (runs hourly, 20 hours a day) puts you 20 minutes from Kingston or Napanee, while the island itself offers a general store with LCBO, a Canada Post outlet, a public beach, a close-knit community with its own JK-8 school, and seasonal artist studios, museum and dining. Known for exceptional birding, great cycling, and its large collection of Irish dry stone walls, Amherst Island is a lovely and unique spot to set down roots. (id:63357)
