Waterfront homes for sale on the St. Lawrence River
83 active waterfront homes on St. Lawrence River · updated August 23, 2026
The St. Lawrence runs from Kingston past the Thousand Islands through Brockville, Prescott, Morrisburg and Cornwall — a working shipping seaway with international traffic through the Iroquois and Eisenhower locks. The islands from Gananoque to Rockport are the classic cottage stretch; Brockville and Prescott carry more full-time year-round homes on the mainland. Water levels are seaway-managed and shoreline is often deep.
This page shows every active detached and semi-detached home on the St. Lawrence River in Ontario, including the islands. Because the river is navigable commercial water, dock configurations and shoreline protection matter more than on interior lakes — check the card details. Marina-only and shared-access listings are excluded.
How this page decides what counts as waterfront
Only detached and semi-detached homes appear here. Each one shows some evidence of genuine water frontage — a dock, boathouse, boat slip, private beach, or direct water view. Waterfront condos and townhomes on St. Lawrence River are excluded on purpose: the MLS waterfront fields on a condo describe the building, not the unit, and mixing them in misrepresents what you're buying. Deeded-access shares, road-between lots, and marina-only slips are also excluded.
Ownership, shoreline, and access
Ontario waterfront has three moving parts every buyer eventually has to understand: who owns the shore road allowance (Owned, Not Owned, None, Partially Owned — cards note this where available), what the shoreline itself is (sand, natural, rocky, weedy, hard bottom), and how you reach the property (year-round municipal road, seasonal road, water access only). None of these are dealbreakers on their own; they change the price, the mortgage, and the insurance conversation.
Common questions
Waterfront homes take patience and a straight-talking view of shoreline, dock, and access rights. I'll walk you through what's actually being offered before you drive up to St. Lawrence River.
