Imagine the end of the workday. You pack up, grab groceries, and 15 minutes later you’re home — dinner on the barbecue, sitting on your dock with a cold drink, listening to birdsong and watching the Otonabee River flow by. Maybe your "commute" is simply walking from the kitchen to your laptop with high-speed internet and the river right outside your window.
Or perhaps the workday is a thing of the past. Imagine retirement as it was meant to be: mornings that start with coffee on the dock and quiet afternoons where the only schedule is the slow pull of the current.
This four-season home is set on privately leased land in an established waterfront community, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a premium riverfront lifestyle at a much more accessible price point than freehold. It is the perfect balance: a peaceful retreat removed from the daily rush, yet with Peterborough's amenities close at hand and Toronto only 90 minutes away. With no neighbors across the river, the property remains exceptionally private — the perfect vantage point for sunset views and a sense of the seasons rather than the ticking of the calendar.
Inside, natural light pours through countless windows and skylights. The living and dining areas are oriented toward the water, while a separate family room with a wood stove creates a cozy, warm anchor for the home. The smart two-bedroom layout provides a private bathroom experience for both rooms; the primary features a dedicated four-piece suite, while the second bedroom offers direct access to a three-piece semi-ensuite that also serves the main living area.
Designed for year-round comfort, the home is fully insulated underneath and heated by both a propane furnace and wood stove. Outside, the privately owned dock offers excellent swimming and boating, while the riverside sauna provides a relaxing sanctuary that becomes especially magical during the winter months.
The detached "studio-bunkie" offers a versatile escape for overflow guests, an artist’s workspace, or a quiet workshop, while an additional outbuilding provides ample room for hobbies and gear.
