447 Hardwood Ridge Road Lanark Highlands, ON K0G 1K0

Tucked away at the very end of a private road, this quiet cottage retreat on 1.4 acres offers seclusion on the shores of Patterson Lake. With 215 feet of shoreline, forest on both sides and no through traffic, its the kind of peaceful setting that's hard to find and is perfect for recharging, exploring, and connecting with nature.Perched well above the water, the cottage provides stunning views of the lake, with a private dock below for swimming, paddling, or lazy afternoons in the sun. Gather around the lakeside firepit in the evening, or imagine transforming the rare grandfathered boathouse into a one-of-a-kind Muskoka-style retreat at the waters edge.The cottage has been thoughtfully updated over the years, with a kitchen addition in 2006, new shingles, a rebuilt basement, and a refreshed interior in 2018. Inside you'll find a bright, welcoming space with three bedrooms, and a full four-piece bathroom.On the adjacent, included lot, a second grandfathered footprint offers even more possibilities: restore the old cabin or re-imagine it as a lakeside studio or bunkie. Next to the cottage, a detached bunkie, updated in 2022, already provides extra sleeping space, with its own cedar outdoor bathroom.Private road maintenance fee is approx. $400/year. Just 15 minutes to Blue Heron Golf, 19 minutes to Timber Run, 30 minutes to Perth, and 38 minutes to Carleton Place, this truly special property offers privacy, natural beauty, and future potential on a peaceful, swimmable lake.
