Coffee on the dock. Boat still tied up from last night. The city's downtown restaurants and Spencer Smith Park are a ten minute walk away, but out here it just feels quiet. That's the pitch for 413 Indian Road, and for once the photos undersell it.
This is a waterfront estate in Indian Point, one of the tightest and most private enclaves in South Burlington. It's listed at $4,190,000, sits on nearly an acre, and comes with 250 feet of private shoreline. MLS number 40861326. Homes like this don't turn over often here, and when they do, they rarely offer this much land, this much dock, and this much flexibility all at once.
Who this home is actually right for
This isn't a starter luxury purchase. It's for a family that boats, entertains, and wants room for parents or adult kids without giving up privacy. The lower level in-law suite handles that. The main floor office works for someone running a business from home. And the 5+1 bedroom, 3.5 bath layout across more than 3,500 finished square feet means nobody is tripping over each other during a long weekend with extended family.
It's also right for a downsizer who isn't actually downsizing much, someone leaving a bigger property in the country but unwilling to trade the water, the dock, and the space for a condo. Two driveways, one gated, hold 10-plus vehicles plus an RV or boat trailer, so this works for people with toys, not just a car.
What Indian Point offers that other Burlington streets can't
Indian Point is a small peninsula neighbourhood, and that scarcity is the whole story. There's no volume of waterfront lots coming to replace what's here. Compare that to Roseland or Shoreacres, both excellent, both walkable to downtown, but neither offers direct private shoreline on this scale. Indian Point buyers are paying for something that genuinely cannot be recreated a block over.
The location also solves the classic waterfront trade-off. Most private shoreline in Ontario means a long drive to get groceries or see friends. Here, downtown Burlington's shops, bars, and festival programming along the lakefront are a short walk. You get the seclusion without the isolation.
What actually makes this property different
A lot of waterfront listings talk about access. This one has infrastructure most owners spend years and permits trying to build. There's a 30 by 15 foot dock, four boat lifts, and a double Sea-Doo and kayak float dock. That's not a dream for next summer. That's ready now.
Between the house and the water sits a pool, hot tub, sauna, firepit, and a three hole putting green with a sand trap, all connected by multiple sitting and entertaining areas. A separate bunkie adds a use case most buyers don't get: a teen hangout, a guest suite, a studio, or a quiet place to work that isn't inside the main house.
Then there's the land itself. Roughly 33,500 square feet of oversized waterfront frontage, in a severable configuration. That single detail sets this apart from most estate listings in the area. Future flexibility on shoreline this scarce is rare, and it's the kind of thing that matters more with each passing year as Burlington's waterfront inventory tightens further.
Why timing matters here
Burlington's luxury and waterfront segment doesn't move like the general market. Fewer listings, longer decision cycles, and buyers who are often selling their own high-value home first. That means well-priced, well-positioned waterfront properties can still attract serious attention even when overall market activity is slower. A property with this combination, direct shoreline, usable infrastructure, and severability, tends to draw interest from buyers who've been waiting specifically for something like it. Those buyers don't show up often, and they don't wait long once they do.
If you're weighing your own move, up or down, in this same price tier, it's worth understanding how Burlington's luxury segment is actually pricing and positioning right now. That's exactly what we cover on our Burlington luxury homes page, including what streets and features are commanding premiums this year.
The takeaway: 413 Indian Road isn't just a big house on the water. It's 250 feet of shoreline, a fully built-out dock system, and land that holds long-term flexibility, all inside a ten-minute walk of downtown Burlington. That combination doesn't come up twice in the same year.
