Yellow Island is a 1.6‑acre private island located in the center of Lake Heney in Quebec’s Outaouais region, just an hour from Ottawa. The island offers a quiet natural setting bordered by the municipalities of Lac‑Ste‑Marie and Gracefield and is easily accessed via the public boat launch.
The Property
The island previously housed a family cottage, which has since been removed. It is now ready for a new owner to rebuild and create a custom retreat.
The Land and Water
Lake Heney, also known locally as Petit lac Poisson‑Blanc, is known for its clear water and strong fishing. The island is wooded with tall pines and sits on Gatineau blue marble, creating a distinctive natural landscape. Its central position on the lake provides views and access to surrounding waters.
Access and Utilities
Access is via the public boat launch.
The Lifestyle
The island supports a quiet cottage lifestyle with fishing, paddling, and lakefront recreation. Its proximity to Ottawa and surrounding Outaouais communities makes it suitable for weekend use or seasonal stays. The combination of clear water, natural stone, and forested surroundings creates a scenic foundation for a future cottage build.
