Why spend $1.5 million for a currently-listed six acre island in the Thousand Islands when, within a short ride (by car or boat) north of the gateway cities of Kingston and Gananoque, you could have half of a twenty-four acre island directly on the historic Rideau Canal and the Rideau Heritage Route?�

Newboro Lake, part of the Rideau Canal, is noted for its wonderful fishing opportunities and is directly connected to six other lakes: Loon, Mosquito, Benson, Indian, Clear, and Pollywog.� It lies near Smiths Falls (HQ: Friends of the Rideau) which is the Rideau Canal�s midway-point between Ottawa and Kingston. The vacation resort areas of Chaffey�s Lock and Westport are close by.

Ensuring complete privacy and quiet, this 12 � acre parcel�is half of�Foley�s Island and�boasts more than 1500 feet of waterfront, a long floating dock with a swimming platform, a clean dock-side sandy area for�swimming, a fully renovated cottage with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a new pine kitchen designed and installed by Proux, a large covered deck, 2 separate tool sheds, and a floating dock.� It comes completely furnished and ready to move-in.� Propane fuels the Aqua Star tankless water heater, lights and Danby refrigerator.� A drilled well is the source of cold fresh drinking water.

After a lazy day of fishing, you could be enjoying a beautiful western view of a colorful Canadian sunset from your own front porch.
