Someone who wants to escape the rat race can climb into their float plane and head up to this private 5.6-acre property, landing on Labelle Lake and docking at the only privately owned land on the lake.

On a point on the south arm of the Canadian Shield just north of Kingston, this retreat property is also an easy drive from Ottawa and Toronto, says listing agent Lisa Clark of Sotheby’s International Realty.

The year-round property is about a half-hour drive from downtown Kingston, 90 minutes from Ottawa and within 15 minutes of Westport and its shops and grocery store.

It’s surrounded by Frontenac Provincial Park and offers vast wetlands, mixed forests, plants, wildlife and granite outcroppings. With its large, unique parcel of land and a builder’s own home, this property is a good investment, Ms. Clark says. “It has natural beauty on the outside and luxury on the inside.”

The 7,500-square-foot custom home has a gourmet kitchen, woodstoves, luxurious bathrooms, high-end appliances and a guest/nanny suite on the lower level. Large windows offer 270-degree views of the lake from the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home. Vaulted ceilings, timber beam accents, cherry and slate flooring and an integrated sound system and home theatre are other highlights of the two-storey home.

“The shores have been kept natural and the property has had very little impact from construction and maintains its natural beauty,” Ms. Clark says.

Deep and shallow water, sheltered mooring for a float plane and aviation refuelling equipment on site are other features.

“There is excellent fishing [large and small mouth bass] and the lake offers great opportunities for canoeing, kayaking and swimming,” she says. “The seller is also offering an adjoining 10-acre parcel on Big Clear Lake if a person is interested in buying both for a very large, very private parcel for a family compound.”

The building lot has 1,000 feet of water frontage.
