1870 Sixth Line Road

AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DISCERNING BUYER

This is your chance to own a prestigious 25 acre waterfront estate just 10 minutes from urban Kanata.

As you drive down the tree-lined lane past the log guest house, golf green, 5-stall horse barn and approach the main home, you will know you have arrived somewhere special. Flanked by a circular driveway, the stately residence boasts priceless panoramic views of the Ottawa River and Gatineau Hills. This custom-built limestone home sits on 25 park-like acres with approximately 800 feet of shoreline on the Ottawa River, which can be accessed via foot or vehicle. A log cabin near the river's edge provides a relaxation spot and also convenient storage for water sport equipment.

Lovingly maintained and tastefully renovated, this sprawling family home has an elegant floor plan and generous room sizes that make it ideal for daily living and entertaining. Enter along the house-width covered front porch passing beautiful, mature flower gardens to an impressive foyer where your eye can't help but glimpse the river beyond. Exposed hardwood flooring on the main level leads you into the formal dining room that is ideal for hosting dinner parties and family get-togethers. A bright sun room with glass on three sides opens the space to extensive views of the ever-changing river and gorgeous Gatineau Hills where Fall is the premier season of colour! A bi-level deck overlooking idyllic gardens and zen pond can be accessed here as well from the renovated, fully equipped chef's kitchen featuring beautifilly crafted cherry cabinetry.

If you need a home office, the library/study is an ideally private space to get work done. Or to enjoy one of your favourite books from the built-in shelves. Main floor laundry and a convenient powder room complete the space.

As you return to the foyer, you then enter the massive, sun-filled living room to enjoy entertaining by the fireplace or perhaps pass through to the rear sunroom. If the weather is favourable, continue on to the covered outdoor patio, a private resort-like oasis with built-in BBQ and bar fridge. There is plenty of room to dine al fresco or relax in the multiple seating areas as you watch sailors cruise the river. On those sunny, summer days cool off in the 40 foot, concrete, infinity edge Benson pool and bask in the panoramic sightline towards Ottawa. Entertaining is a dream here! So much privacy and space, yet so near the city.

In those cooler months when indoor entertaining is more your style, the finished lower level is the answer. Challenge friends to snooker or socialize in the large seating area around the stone fireplace. Or cozy up in the cedar-lined hot tub room with a bottle of wine selected from your personal collection in the 650-bottle wine cellar. Don’t worry, you still have the sweeping views from down here! In your alone time, take advantage of the hobby room to pursue your passions. No need to go upstairs with the 3-piece bath on this level.

When it is time to retire, slip away into the romantic primary retreat. You can relax with a book before bed in front of the fireplace or maybe enjoy a nightcap on the private balcony and look at the stars. The amazing fireworks on Canada Day can be seen down the river from this vantage point! The spa-like ensuite offers plenty of amenities for two to prepare for the day or unwind at night. Soaker tub, glass shower, double sinks…it has it all! The second bedroom also has a private balcony with River views and shares a newly renovated bathroom with a large, third bedroom with double closets. Room for everyone here!

No detail was left out in this thoughtfully designed home that has been lovingly maintained and updated by the current owners of 30 years. With the balance of modern amenities, traditional features and an abundance of nature and green space to add your own personal features, this is the ideal place to call home. The shores of March Township, now known as Rural Kanata, have long been home to some of the Ottawa Valley’s most impressive estates and influential residents.Traveling west from Ottawa, this section of Sixth Line Road is geographically the first area where multi-acreage properties with significant frontage along the historic Ottawa River reside.  Once or twice in a generation does one of these special properties become available. Don't miss your chance to call it your own!
