West-facing sunsets on highly sought-after Palmerston Lake. If you have been waiting for an opportunity to own a piece of one of the region's cleanest and deepest lakes, 1025 Arcol Road is your opportunity. Over 2 acres of privacy on a spacious lot, with a public sandy beach just a five-minute walk down the road. Palmerston is known for spectacular fishing, uncrowded waters, and miles of surrounding Crown land. The water at the dock is about three feet deep, and a short swim out drops into the crystal clear depths the lake is famous for. Inside, the cottage has been extensively renovated. 2026 alone brought a new heat pump/AC, new wall and attic insulation, a new 200 amp electrical panel, and a fully renovated and expanded washroom with a walk-in shower and laundry. Prior updates include a 2009 septic system, 2017 hot water tank, and 2021 water pump. The upgrades make this an exceptional extended three-season retreat.The vaulted living room glows with warm pine walls, and a bright front sunroom with cedar ceilings adds a second living space full of natural light. Two bedrooms and a bunkie give you room for the whole family without the upkeep of a massive build. Outside, you will find a new back deck, a detached two-car garage built in 2015, the bunkie with hydro, and an additional storage shed. High speed internet is available, and the township owned/maintained road takes you right to your driveway. Properties on Palmerston Lake are rare and tend to move quickly. Book your showing and secure your spot on the lake for summer.

A rare opportunity on Palmerston Lake: 9.44 acres of pristine waterfront, accessible by boat, with over 1,200 feet of shoreline and two quiet bays of its own. The land is treed with mature mixed forest and bordered by thousands of acres of Crown land. There are no neighbours in sight, and given the surrounding protected wilderness, there likely never will be. Palmerston Lake is one of the most sought-after lakes in the Ottawa Valley, known for its deep, clean water and limited development. A new dock is already in place, ready for morning swims or quiet evenings on the water. A recently added outhouse and a mostly cleared building site mark the beginning of what comes next, whether that is a custom cottage tucked into the trees or a simple wilderness retreat under the stars.Access is by boat, with seasonal slip rental available at the Palmerston Lake Marina ($700 for the 2025 season). An old logging road through the Crown land offers potential 4WD access during construction, simplifying the build process before you settle back into the quieter water-access rhythm. The land borders thousands of acres of Crown land laced with ATV and snowmobile trails, open through every season. This is the kind of property that almost never comes available: large, private, untouched, and surrounded by protected wilderness. A rare chance to own a piece of the Ottawa Valley that the rest of the world will never reach.

Past a kilometre of untouched Crown shoreline, where the lake opens wide and the cottages thin out, 6.69 acres of forested waterfront come into view. Step off the boat onto over 1,400 feet of private frontage on Palmerston Lake, bordered by more than 1,000 acres of Crown land. This is the kind of quiet you can only reach by water. The cottage was built in 2000 by the current owner, using large logs cut from the surrounding land. For years before and during construction, the family stayed in the small bunkie down the forest path. That care and patience shows throughout: timberframe accents, wide-plank pine floors, and a great room with a soaring ceiling, anchored by a fieldstone fireplace.Three bedrooms and two full baths offer comfortable space for family and guests. A woodstove warms the lower-level family room. The original bunkie still stands, providing a quiet retreat for visitors or a peaceful studio space. The off-grid systems are designed for genuine comfort. A substantial solar and battery setup handles daily needs, with a generator for backup. Lake water intake, full septic, and infrastructure sized for year-round living. Outside, deep clean water for swimming and fishing. A firepit near the water's edge for evenings under the stars. Trails through the property connect to the neighbouring Crown land, with access to ATV and snowmobile routes. Loons call across the water in the morning. The lake stretches uninterrupted to the horizon. Ottawa and Kingston are each about an hour and a half away, far enough to leave the pace of the city behind. A rare offering, and a true legacy property.
