630 LAKE ST Rideau Lakes, ON K0E 1G0

Escape to the country... if you are seeking privacy, quiet and a peaceful life, then follow the laneway through the cedar rail fences to this place, known as Blythewold - old English for 'gentle woods'. The 1840s post and beam home has been lovingly restored for modern farmhouse style and comfort - new insulation, new drywall, new flooring, new windows and doors, new kitchen, new bath, new laundry, new appliances, new steel roof, new UV system, new woodstove, new furnace... all of the hard work is done! The front porch offers scenic views while the fenced yard with established herb and perennial gardens offers a safe space for children and pets to play. The large kitchen/dining room and spacious living room create a beautiful space for entertaining or for cozy family meals and activities. Maple floors and beamed ceilings blend an old-world charm with contemporary comfort.
Upstairs are three bedrooms with pine plank floors, exposed beams, cathedral ceilings, and a new laundry area. The office space on the landing, walk-in closet, and lovely bathroom all contribute to the uniqueness of this home.
Outdoors, there's a chicken coop, 3 storage sheds, a pump house with a second drilled well next to the barn, a workshop, and more raised bed gardens with a 2024 garlic crop planted. The barn, transformed in 2022 into a venue for a family wedding, sparks endless possibilities. Subject to proper planning permissions, the barn could become a seasonal destination for weddings, a retail space, an arts centre, or return it to its previous life as animal housing.
This property transcends the ordinary. Embrace the symphony of birdsong, watch the fireflies dance on the evening air, and entertain friends and family around the firepit that will become your front-row seat to the stars. This is not just a home; it's an invitation to a lifestyle of unparalleled natural charm and boundless possibilities.
