Escape to the Kawarthas: Why Life is Better on Chemong Lake (and Your Dream Home at 563 Dalhaven Rd)


There is a moment that happens when you drive north into the Kawarthas from the GTA. The traffic thins out, the air smells a little sweeter, and your shoulders naturally drop a few inches.

For many, Ennismore, Ontario, isn't just a dot on a map—it’s the ultimate escape. Nestled between lakes and rolling countryside, it offers that rare blend of cottage-country serenity and real-world convenience. And right now, there is a unique opportunity to own a slice of this paradise.

If you have been dreaming of waterfront living without sacrificing modern luxury, let me introduce you to 563 Dalhaven Rd.


Why Ennismore and Chemong Lake?

Before we talk about the house, we have to talk about the water. Chemong Lake is part of the Tri-Lakes system and the iconic Trent-Severn Waterway. Living here means:

  • Endless Boating: You aren't landlocked. You can boat into Buckhorn, Pigeon Lake, or navigate the locks all the way out to the ocean if you really wanted to!

  • Four-Season Recreation: From trophy bass and walleye fishing in the summer to snowmobiling and ice fishing in the winter, the lake is alive year-round.

  • The Best of Both Worlds: Ennismore offers a tight-knit community feel, but you are only minutes away from Bridgenorth for groceries and the LCBO, and a short drive to Peterborough for hospitals, Costco, and fine dining.


Spotlight on 563 Dalhaven Rd: A Masterclass in Craftsmanship



Properties on the water often force you to choose: do you want a great view with an old, drafty cabin, or a modern home with no soul?

563 Dalhaven Rd requires no compromise.

This five-year-old home was lovingly designed and crafted with an obsession for detail. It is a modern sanctuary built to maximize the beauty of Chemong Lake while ensuring absolute comfort inside.

1. Designed for the View

As soon as you step onto the open-concept main floor, you are greeted by sleek modern lines and an abundance of natural light. The layout was specifically engineered to accentuate the waterfront views. Whether you are prepping dinner on the large kitchen island or relaxing in the living area, the lake is your backdrop.

2. The Primary Retreat

The primary bedroom is light, airy, and positioned to overlook the water—imagine waking up to that view every morning. It features a spacious walk-in closet and a gorgeous 4-piece ensuite with a soaker tub, perfect for unwinding after a day on the boat.

3. "Invisible" Luxury & Comfort

Here is where this listing separates itself from the competition. The things you can’t see are just as impressive as the things you can. This home is built for longevity and peace of mind:

  • Climate Control: In-floor radiant natural gas heat (with zone control) keeps your toes warm in winter, while a heat pump provides A/C for those humid August nights.

  • Soundproofing: Every room has been soundproofed for ultimate privacy.

  • Electrical Overkill: In a display of incredible quality, each plug has its own breaker.

  • Reliability: An easily connected generator ensures you are never left in the dark during a storm.


Your Outdoor Oasis

The exterior of 563 Dalhaven was designed for maximum enjoyment and minimum maintenance. You didn't move to the lake to spend all weekend mowing the lawn.

  • Entertaining Ready: A welcoming rear patio with sliding door entry connects the indoors to the outdoors seamlessly. There is a gazebo for hosting dinners and a shed for storing your water toys.

  • The Water’s Edge: Walk down the landscaped yard to the armour stone entry and your private dock. This is where your summer memories will be made.

  • Curb Appeal: A paved driveway and thoughtful use of natural trees create a private, welcoming entrance.


The Verdict

Located on a private road in a quiet area, this home offers the retreat you’ve been looking for. It is quality over quantity, luxury without pretension, and nature right at your doorstep.

563 Dalhaven Rd isn't just a house; it’s the lake lifestyle perfected.
