2 Lyons Island—known locally and on maps as Jobs Island—offers a rare opportunity to own a private island in the heart of Prince Edward County. The property combines complete privacy with proximity to the region’s renowned beaches, vineyards, and restaurants. A short boat ride brings you to your private dock and more than 1,000 feet of waterfront surrounding a hand‑built three‑bedroom cottage overlooking East Lake.
The Property
The cottage features soaring ceilings, knotty pine floors and walls, and an open‑concept kitchen, dining, and living area oriented toward the water. The main floor includes two guest bedrooms and a three‑piece bath with a composting toilet. A circular staircase leads to the primary bedroom, which includes a king bed, sitting area, and a private deck with views across the island. A loft accessed by a traditional cottage ladder provides additional storage and extra sleeping space. A solar panel system powers the cottage lights and device charging, while propane fuels the fridge and stove.
The Land and Water
The island offers wraparound deck views, a sandy beach at its tip, and ample outdoor space for recreation. Features include a wood‑fired pizza oven, hammock areas, axe‑throwing space, and a campfire area for evenings by the lake. In winter, the island can be accessed across the ice, offering a unique seasonal experience with the woodstove.
Access and Utilities
Access is by a short boat ride from the mainland to the private dock. Utilities include solar power for lighting and device charging and propane for kitchen appliances.
The Lifestyle
Jobs Island offers a quintessential cottage experience with panoramic lake views, outdoor recreation, and year‑round enjoyment. Its combination of privacy, charm, and proximity to Prince Edward County amenities makes it an inviting retreat for future stewards seeking a truly special island property.
