Cross Streets: Front Rd at Emerald 40 Ft Rd up to Concession Rd 2. ** Directions: Amherst Island Ferry to Stella, right at stop sign (Front Rd) west to Emerald 40 Ft. Imagine waking up on your own hilltop, coffee in hand, looking out over your 800+ feet of waterfront, the north channel, and the mainland beyond. This 99.6 acre parcel on Amherst Island offers a rare opportunity to build on a hilltop, closer to your shoreline, or in the woods - the land rises roughly 20 metres in elevation from the deeded waterfront across Front Road at the north end up to Concession Road 2 to the south. Design a home around the view, whatever your fancy. Beyond the building site, the land itself is working for you: high producing hay fields (fertilized annually and actively hayed by a local farmer) keep the property taxes low, while mature hardwood woodland and a small pond and marsh (home to Blanding's turtles) offer privacy, nature, and room to roam. It's also been used as a great hunting ground in the past, if that's your thing. With municipally maintained year-round roads (Front Road, Emerald 40 Ft Road, and Concession Road 2) on 3 sides, you have flexible access options as you plan your build. Electrical service is already brought to the property with 200-amp panel availability, and a driveway and parking pad are in place to get you started. A 2025 survey and preliminary severance discussions with Loyalist Township add further flexibility down the road. Owning here also means island life: a 15-minute, year-round ferry crossing to Millhaven (runs hourly, 20 hours a day) puts you 20 minutes from Kingston or Napanee, while the island itself offers a general store with LCBO, a Canada Post outlet, a public beach, a close-knit community with its own JK-8 school, and seasonal artist studios, museum and dining. Known for exceptional birding, great cycling, and its large collection of Irish dry stone walls, Amherst Island is a lovely and unique spot to set down roots. (id:27476)
