I have listed a new property at 28 South Street in Drummond/North Elmsley. See details here

Set on 1.88 acres just a short walk from downtown Perth, this 1875 stone home pairs enduring character with the space and privacy of a country setting. The house sits well back from the road, offering a quiet retreat with Perth's shops, restaurants, and historic streets close at hand. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and period details carry through the principal rooms. Three fireplaces add warmth and atmosphere: a wood-burning insert in the formal living room, a second wood fireplace in the family room, and a natural gas fireplace in the dining room. A pass-through connects the dining room to the kitchen, where an island that began life as a church altar adds its own piece of history. The home offers three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a luxurious ensuite. The grounds provide room to garden, gather, and enjoy the outdoors. A screened solarium and rear deck with a hot tub invite you to settle in, while a substantial barn offers possibilities for a workshop, studio, or hobby farm pursuits. Thoughtful updates complement the home's original character, including a natural gas furnace installed within the past five years, central air installed this year, a metal roof within the past ten years, and modernized plumbing and electrical. Fibre internet is available. Historic character, acreage to make your own, and a walk into town whenever the mood strikes.

The kitchen is where everyone ends up, and at 42 Main Street there's every reason to stay awhile. Friends can pull up a stool while dinner comes together, with conversation flowing easily between the kitchen, dining area and living room. Original pine floors, exposed beams and brickwork give these shared spaces the warmth and individuality that make an older home so appealing, while the updated kitchen brings everyone together at its heart. Set on 0.32 acres in the village of Elgin, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers room for the things you enjoy. The main floor bedroom is currently set up as an office that gives work or creative projects a space of their own. The sunroom invites you to settle in with a book, and the covered front porch is waiting for your favourite chair and an unhurried cup of coffee. Substantial improvements complement the home's character, including updates to wiring, plumbing and insulation, a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, and new hardwood flooring. Central heat, A/C and heated flooring in the upstairs bathroom add welcome everyday comforts. The furnace and hot water tank were installed in 2021 and are both owned, while central air was added in 2024. The generous backyard opens up another set of possibilities. Plant the vegetable garden you've been talking about, set a table for summer dinners, or spend an afternoon outside with your hands in the soil. There's room here to put down roots in more ways than one. For someone drawn to the character of an older home and the pleasures of village life, 42 Main Street offers plenty to fall for.

I have listed a new property at 1394 Black Lake North Shore in Tay Valley. See details here

Forget the dock that bottoms out by August. Here, you've got roughly 15 to 20 feet of water off the dock, the kind of depth that means proper swimming, diving, and a boat that stays afloat even through a dry summer. Welcome to 1394 Black Lake North Shore, a three-season cottage made for long days on the water and easy evenings with nowhere else to be. Inside, the open floor plan keeps everyone in the same room whether they're cooking, playing cards, or just landed from the lake. A spacious sunroom stretches across the waterside of the cottage, with oversized windows framing the lake and surrounding trees. It's the natural morning-coffee spot, the rainy-day retreat, and the place you'll still be sitting long after the sun starts to disappear. Three bedrooms give you room for family and friends, while a simple one-bath layout keeps cottage life exactly that: simple. Outside, the deck overlooks the water, with a hot tub positioned for late-night soaks beneath the stars. A detached garage with power gives you plenty of space for boats, tools, toys, and hobbies. The practical pieces are already handled too, including a steel roof and low-maintenance finishes, leaving more of your weekends for swimming, paddling, boating, and doing very little at all. Deep water is one of those cottage features you can't easily add later. Here, it comes with the property.

I have listed a new property at 9 Saddle Avenue in Rideau Lakes. See details here

Colourful gardens, inviting outdoor spaces and a long list of thoughtful updates make this two-bedroom modular home a welcoming place to settle into life in Otterdale Estates, just outside Smiths Falls. With approximately 1,059 sq. ft. on one level, the layout offers room to gather, space for hobbies and a quiet corner to make your own. A large bay window fills the main living room with natural light, while the generous eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, countertops replaced in 2025 and a newer stove. The former three-season sunroom was converted to year-round living space in 2023, creating a bright second sitting area with an adjoining breakfast nook. Enjoy morning coffee among your plants, settle in with a book or spread out when friends come to visit. Two bedrooms with ample closet storage, a bathroom with an updated shower and conveniently located laundry with a newer washer and dryer complete the interior. All windows were replaced in 2022, with further improvements including foam insulation beneath the home in 2025, newer air conditioning and a front deck replaced in 2025. Outside, the front and rear decks offer different places to enjoy the day, from a sunny morning to a relaxed evening overlooking the gardens. Established flower beds, raised garden beds and mature trees bring colour and greenery to the yard, while an expanded storage shed provides useful space for tools, gardening supplies and seasonal belongings. A comfortable, welcoming home with room to enjoy both indoors and out.

I have sold a property at 1025 ARCOL Road in Frontenac on Aug 13, 2026. See details here

West-facing sunsets on highly sought-after Palmerston Lake. If you have been waiting for an opportunity to own a piece of one of the region's cleanest and deepest lakes, 1025 Arcol Road is your opportunity. Over 2 acres of privacy on a spacious lot, with a public sandy beach just a five-minute walk down the road. Palmerston is known for spectacular fishing, uncrowded waters, and miles of surrounding Crown land. The water at the dock is about three feet deep, and a short swim out drops into the crystal clear depths the lake is famous for. Inside, the cottage has been extensively renovated. 2026 alone brought a new heat pump/AC, new wall and attic insulation, a new 200 amp electrical panel, and a fully renovated and expanded washroom with a walk-in shower and laundry. Prior updates include a 2009 septic system, 2017 hot water tank, and 2021 water pump. The upgrades make this an exceptional extended three-season retreat.The vaulted living room glows with warm pine walls, and a bright front sunroom with cedar ceilings adds a second living space full of natural light. Two bedrooms and a bunkie give you room for the whole family without the upkeep of a massive build. Outside, you will find a new back deck, a detached two-car garage built in 2015, the bunkie with hydro, and an additional storage shed. High speed internet is available, and the township owned/maintained road takes you right to your driveway. Properties on Palmerston Lake are rare and tend to move quickly. Book your showing and secure your spot on the lake for summer.

I have sold a property at 352 Highway 15 in Rideau Lakes on Aug 10, 2026. See details here

Property taxes under $2,100 a year. Heat and hydro under $300 a month. A self-contained one-bedroom suite with its own entrance that can put rent against your mortgage from day one. On carrying costs alone, almost nothing at this price keeps up. Set on just under an acre at the edge of Smiths Falls, in Rideau Lakes Township where the tax bill stays small, this is two fully separate living spaces under one roof. The suite has its own entrance, full kitchen, living room, bright bedroom, and 4-piece bath. Rent it, move your parents in, or give adult kids their own front door. The floor plan can also convert back to a single 3 plus bedroom home without a gut renovation. The main residence offers two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a vaulted kitchen and dining area where skylights (2022) and a south-facing picture window keep the whole level bright in every season. An oversized island and generous cabinetry handle the real cooking. The big-ticket work is done: shingles 2024, electric furnace 2023, A/C 2021, crawl-space spray foam 2021, siding and windows 2020. Water softener with reverse osmosis at both kitchen sinks, a 200 amp panel with separate generator panel, attached double garage, basement workshop, and a 23 by 13 outbuilding out back waiting to be restored. This isn't the house for buyers who need conventional. It's the house for buyers who can do math. Book a showing and bring a calculator.

I have listed a new property at 17 Bridle Path in Rideau Lakes. See details here

Everyone says a detached home with a private yard is gone under $200,000. Here's one, minutes from Smiths Falls. 17 Bridle Path sits at the end of the road in Otterdale Estates on a double lot, with open fields and bush on one side instead of a neighbour. This is the lot everyone else in the park wanted.The backyard is the reason to come see it. Mature trees, a privacy fence, a deck off the back, and a firepit for the nights that run long. The front deck is new in 2026 and looks out at the quiet end of the road. Inside, the modular bungalow gives you two bedrooms and a full bath, plus a third bedroom the current owners opened up as a flex room. Office, den, playroom, whatever your life needs it to be. Put a wall back in and it is a bedroom again. New interior doors and lighting in 2026, fresh paint in every room including the kitchen cabinets, and a fireplace that was WETT certified under previous ownership and can be recertified by the buyer if you want to burn wood. The practical side: New breaker panel in 2025. Hot water tank is a Reliance rental at $20 a month with all maintenance and replacement included, and can be bought outright if you would rather own. The carport came down in 2025 and became a 10 by 20 interlock parking pad, with an EV charger mounted on the exterior of the home. The lot fee is $473 a month. That covers water and sewer through the park's shared system with nothing for you to maintain, snow removal on the roadways, and upkeep of the green space. There is a playground for the kids, and garbage and recycling are picked up weekly by Rideau Lakes township. Fields on one side, trees on the other, a fire out back, and a charger for the car.

New property listed in Tay Valley

I have listed a new property at 440 Featherston Lane in Tay Valley. See details here

The hard part of buying a cottage is inheriting the last owner's to do list. The family at 440 Featherston spent ten years clearing theirs, and upgraded every major component along the way. All that is left for you to do is walk down to the dock. The property runs 1.46 acres with 95 feet of frontage on Farren Lake, 25 minutes from Perth. Two bedrooms on one level, a full bath and a two piece off the hall. The kitchen was opened up to flow right into the living/dining room, so whoever is cooking is still in the conversation. The wood stove is new in 2017 and heats the whole cottage in the shoulder seasons, with electric baseboard backup. The screened gazebo out front is where the weekend actually happens. Coffee at seven, cards after dinner, and the bugs stay outside for both. At the shore, there is six feet of water off the end of the dock, deep enough to jump in from, and a small sandy beach for the kids to splash around in instead. The rest of the shoreline was left natural on purpose, which is better for the lake and less maintenance for you. The cedar shed by the driveway is powered and runs as a second kitchen and laundry, with a washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge and a sink. That is what makes the gravel RV pad beside it work. The pad has a 30 amp plug, a water line and its own sewer outlet plumbed to the septic, so the trailer can come and nobody has to share a bathroom. Roof 2023. Windows 2010. Water system 2016, well 2015, septic 2015, water heater 2024, and wood stove 2017. 100 amp service on breakers, and WTC fibre is run to the property and ready for hookup. Featherston Lane is private and the owners pay $120 a year for summer maintenance. This cottage sells fully furnished, down to the dishes and the cutlery, so you can pick up the keys on a Friday and be swimming by Saturday.

New property listed in Barrhaven

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 09:15:31 GMT

I have listed a new property at 150 Urbancrest Private in Barrhaven. See details here

Stop paying someone else's mortgage. 150 Urbancrest Private is a 2013 townhome condo that makes the jump from renting to owning about as painless as Barrhaven gets: painted this year, new carpet in both bedrooms, and nothing on the to-do list but moving in. The main floor is one open, sensible space. Stainless appliances in a kitchen that opens to a dining and living area, with clean laminate and tile throughout. Off the living space is a private patio, the morning coffee spot you didn't know you needed. Downstairs, two bedrooms with brand new carpet, and each one has its own bathroom. No negotiating counter space on workday mornings, and overnight guests can have a real setup instead of a couch. The practical side is covered: in-unit laundry, natural gas heat, central A/C, and a dedicated parking spot, so winter mornings skip the street shuffle. And because this is a ground floor unit, groceries roll straight from the car to the kitchen without hiking up a mountain of stairs. The location does a lot of the selling. Five minutes on foot to Half Moon Bay Park and the Stonebridge trail system. The nearby rec centre provides a rink, pool, turf, courts, gym, and classes. Strandherd Drive's groceries and shops are minutes away, and downtown Ottawa is 30 minutes. Ground floor units here rarely come up, and when they do, they tend to sell for more than the ones upstairs. This one is priced to compete. Book a showing before another renter figures that out.

New property listed in Frontenac

I have listed a new property at 1039 Sunset Strip Lane in Frontenac. See details here

Remember when the night sky actually had stars in it? Ompah still does. These 6.4 acres sit under some of the darkest skies in southern Ontario, the kind where the Milky Way shows up over the campfire without anyone asking, and the loudest thing after dark is the fire itself. The daytime story is just as good. The building site is already cleared, and hydro already crosses the property, so powering a trailer, cabin, or future build doesn't start with a five-figure servicing bill. Park the rig this summer, build when you're ready, or hold it as your base camp in the highlands. Five minutes down the road, Palmerston Lake brings the sand beach and public boat launch. A public road allowance at the end of Lake Rd runs straight down to the water, an easy spot to drop a kayak. Hundreds of kilometres of ATV and snowmobile trails cross the area, and the lakes and rivers around Ompah keep anglers and paddlers busy in every season. The practical picture: hydro distribution line on the property, cleared building site, and frontage on Sunset Strip Lane, a privately maintained lane. Days on the water, machines on the trails, and nights under more stars than you've seen since you were a kid.

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:16:24 GMT

I have listed a new property at 294 Lavant Mill Road in Lanark Highlands. See details here

Every kid who walks this property asks the same thing first: can we go to the island? It's a little one, sitting just off your own stretch of Pauls Creek, close enough to wade out and claim as a fort, a pirate ship, a whole summer of stories. Around it, 294 Lavant Mill Rd consists of 2.2 acres of creekside land in McDonalds Corners, with a rail fence on two sides, the creek on a third, and everything you need to start using it the day you close. A two bedroom trailer sleeps six comfortably with the dinette converted, and a powered bunkie adds a double bed below, a loft up the ladder that fits another double or queen, and a covered porch for rainy afternoons. Starlink is set up and cell signal is strong enough that the weekend can stretch into Monday morning work calls with ease. Cast a line in the creek off your own frontage, or make the 1 km run down the road to the Dalhousie Lake boat launch; the public beach is another 500 metres past that. This is waterfront ownership at its simplest: no house to maintain, no renovation list, just a drilled well, septic, and 100 amp service feeding the trailer and the bunkie, all on a year round road. For the weekender or the first time cottage buyer priced off Dalhousie Lake itself, the math works: the same lake down the road, a fraction of the buy in, and weekends that start when you park. Come see it, and bring the kids. The island is waiting.

I have sold a property at 2565 Christie Lake Road in Tay Valley on Jul 10, 2026. See details here

Tucked along a quiet bend of the Tay River just ten minutes from Perth, this 73-acre estate is the kind of property that almost never comes up. An 1870s stone home, an 1820s log guest house, over 1,200 feet of natural swimmable shoreline, and total privacy at the end of a long private drive with no neighbours in sight. The stone home stands with quiet dignity, its original pine floors and historic millwork carrying the story of generations. Behind that character sits the practical stuff that matters: a brand-new septic system installed this year, propane furnace, updated wiring and plumbing, newer windows on the upper level, and added insulation. Generously sized rooms, a large wood-burning fireplace, and a clean, dry basement give the main house real bones. With 5 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, there's space for the whole family, even if you convert one of those bedrooms into a luxurious spa bathroom. The kitchen and dining room and the unfinished primary bedroom are blank canvases waiting for your vision. Outside is where this home really opens up. Forest and field roll out in every direction, dotted with apple trees and wild berry bushes. Launch a canoe from your own shoreline and paddle 2.5 km into Christie Lake. A boathouse sits right at the water ready for restoration. An 1825 barn with massive hand-hewn beams waits to be reborn, and the rustic log cabin with a screened porch and charmingly wonky floors makes a perfect guest house, summer retreat, or short-term rental opportunity. Just over an hour from Ottawa with easy access to Highway 7. Vibrant in summer, hushed under winter snow. A private world where time slows and history breathes in every stone, beam, and ripple of the river. Book your private tour today.

I have listed a new property at 338 Ennis Road in Tay Valley. See details here

Half the people shopping for land out here want open field. The other half want forest. This 9.78 acre lot near Bennett Lake refuses to choose: sunny meadows mixed with blocks of mature bush, and almost ten acres to make your own. The groundwork is already started, too. The road entrance is in, hydro runs along the road, and Ennis Rd is a year round, township maintained road, so the first steps of a build are done before you own it. A registered development agreement defines where the home can be built; full details available on request. Behind the lot, an informal path over the surrounding land reaches a quiet stretch of Bennett Lake shoreline, the kind of water that herons, ducks, and paddlers appreciate. Water access remains informal and undeeded due to township restrictions. For open water, the public boat launch at the end of the road puts you on Bennett Lake proper, known for clear water, good fishing, and a relaxed pace. Fallbrook and the village of Lanark are minutes away, golf at Blue Heron and Timber Run is just down the road, and Perth, with its shops, restaurants, and hospital, is about 15 minutes. Kanata is just under an hour. Rural zoning. Lot lines and dimensions approximate. Book a showing today to walk the field, walk the woods, and picture your house between them.

Most rural listings come with a to-do list. This one comes with receipts. The owners have spent decades maintaining this home in show-ready condition, most recently having every main floor room painted in 2026 and the 4 pc bath refreshed in 2025. The raised bungalow sits on 1.1 treed acres between Almonte and Hopetown. The main level contains everything you need for daily living: three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, spacious living room, a kitchen with solid wood cabinetry in excellent condition, and a dining room that walks out to the wrap around deck, the spot dinner moves to from June through September. The lower level earns its keep: a second living room centred on a wood stove, a fourth bedroom, a bathroom, and endless storage space. With its own walk in entry off the carport and a kitchenette space already set up, there is excellent in-law suite potential here. And the receipts: propane furnace 2021, central air 2019, hot water tank and well system 2019, GenerLink generator connection 2023, and a 10x10 Amish built shed new in 2023. Bell fibre is available at the house, so working from home is not a compromise. Fifteen minutes to Almonte, twenty to Carleton Place, thirty five to Kanata. A house that asks nothing of you on day one, on a quiet treed lot with an easy run to the city.

The kitchen island began life as a church altar. It sets the tone for the whole house: an 1875 stone home at the edge of historic Perth where the original character was kept and the important updates were made. A natural gas furnace within the past five years, central air installed this year, a metal roof within the past ten, and modernized plumbing and electrical mean this is a century home to be enjoyed rather than worked on. Original hardwood, high ceilings, and the detail of a craftsman era carry through the principal rooms, warmed by three fireplaces: a wood-burning insert in the formal living room, a second wood fireplace in the family room, and a natural gas fireplace in the dining room, where a pass-through to the kitchen serves gatherings gracefully. The home offers three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a luxurious ensuite. The grounds extend across 1.88 acres, with the house set well back from the road for genuine privacy. A screened solarium, a hot tub on the rear deck, and a substantial barn suited to a workshop, studio, or hobby farm pursuits complete the setting. The property is served by its own well, with excellent water quality, a septic system, and fibre internet available. Downtown Perth's shops and restaurants are a short walk away, though the property retains the quiet of the countryside. Homes of this era and condition seldom come to market. This one is ready for its next century.

The end of a quiet dead end road, with only a handful of cottages past you, is a good place to start. Twenty plus feet of water at the end of the dock, rocky natural shoreline, excellent bass fishing, and the kind of clarity Farren Lake is known for. No public access keeps boat traffic light. Just you, the loons, and the occasional deer wandering through. And the cottage matches the setting. Between 2019 and 2023 it was rebuilt from the studs out, every surface, system, and finish. Maibec siding, metal roofs, all new windows and doors, white cedar ceilings, maple hardwood throughout, a quartz kitchen with new appliances, fresh plumbing, a 100 amp panel, and a WETT-certified wood stove. Walk in, light a fire, pour a drink. There is nothing left to do. The main cottage is a smartly laid out three-bedroom with a bright open living and dining area, plus a screened sunroom running the full lakeside of the building. The renovated bunkie adds a Murphy bed, a two-piece bathroom, and its own attached workshop, ideal for guests, kids who want their own space, or anyone who needs a separate spot for projects. Walking distance to River House Vineyard Winery. Forty minutes to Perth, ninety to Kingston or Ottawa. A cell booster on site handles video calls without breaking a sweat, and fiber internet is being installed by WTC Communications this year. Furnishings negotiable, making this an exceptionally easy turnkey purchase, whether you're settling in for the season or planning to share it with short-term guests. A turnkey, deep-water Farren Lake cottage with a guest bunkie does not come up often, and rarely at this price. The dock is in, the water is warming up, and the best weeks of summer are still ahead. Book your showing.

Twenty minutes from Perth, on a quiet road where the loudest thing is the wind, sits a 1968 bungalow with the land and the lifestyle most buyers spend years searching for. The fully fenced 0.8 acre lot is built for the life you've been planning. Mature trees, fruit trees, a big garden ready for spring, and a covered outdoor kitchen anchored by a hand-built pizza oven. Chickens? Their coop is wating. Dogs? Free run of the yard. Outbuildings handle the hay, tools, and everything else a small homestead needs. Inside, three bedrooms plus two flexible rooms currently working as a home office and an art studio (call it a gym, a second office, a kid's playroom, your call). The kitchen opens into a dining and living space, with a generous family room addition off the back, warmed by a wood stove and opening through sliding doors to the outdoor kitchen. Hardwood floors and trim refreshed in 2022. A new wood stove in 2022. Bathroom fully remodelled in 2026. This isn't a house to flip. It's a house to grow into. Garden in the back, fire in the stove, eggs in the coop, pizza in the oven. Twenty minutes to Perth, a quick run to Highway 7, and a price that leaves room to make the rest your own.

Open House on Sunday, July 5, 2026 1:00PM - 3:00PM

Fifteen acres of hardwood forest, walking trails winding through ash, birch, oak and cedar, and not a neighbour in sight. Minutes from the Village of Merrickville and under an hour to Ottawa, this high ranch bungalow delivers the privacy buyers dream about without trading away convenience. The main level has been refreshed top to bottom. A brand new kitchen with new appliances anchors an open-concept living space, with fresh paint throughout. The kitchen and living area flow together around a wood-burning fireplace and open to the back deck overlooking the landscaped yard and treeline beyond. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. Downstairs, the finished walk-out lower level opens the home up considerably: two more bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a sprawling 37-foot family room with space for a home theatre, games table, or quiet office in the corner. The walk-out design keeps it bright and grade-level, never the dim afterthought a lower level can be. Then there is the shop. A detached 30 x 40 steel building on an engineered concrete slab, with an oversized 12 x 14 door and the power to run whatever you bring into it. Hobbyists, contractors, mechanics, and RV owners, this one was built for you, and it rarely comes alongside a house like this. The homes mechanicals are handled: a furnace replaced in 2022, a water softener added in 2021, a sediment and UV filtration system, gas hot water, a private security system, and a Generac generator sized to carry the entire home through any outage. Bell fibre internet keeps you connected for work or play. Homes with this combination of acreage, shop space and move-in-ready updates rarely surface this close to Merrickville. Book your private showing, walk the trails, and stand in that shop. You'll understand the appeal before you reach the front door.

Forget the dock that bottoms out in August. Off this one you've got 15 to 20 feet of water, the kind of depth that means real swimming, real diving, and a boat that floats no matter how dry the summer gets. Welcome to 1394 Black Lake North Shore, a three-season cottage built for the way summers are supposed to feel. The open floor plan keeps everyone in the same room whether they're cooking, playing cards, or just landed from the lake. Off the main space, a big sunroom with oversized windows pulls the water and the treeline right inside, the spot you'll claim with a coffee at 7am and a book at 7pm. Three bedrooms mean room for the kids and the inevitable guests. One bath keeps it simple, the way a cottage should be. Out on the deck, the hot tub looks straight over the lake, the place everyone drifts to once the sun drops. A detached garage with power handles the toys, the tools, and the projects. And the practical stuff is already sorted: steel roof overhead, low maintenance throughout, so your weekends go to the water instead of the to-do list. Deep water like this is rare in cottage country, and cottages that have it do not sit. Book your showing before someone else claims your dock.

Imagine waking up in the home you finally built exactly the way you wanted it. Three acres on Christie Lake Road, 5 minutes from Perth. Flat, open, and ready. The severance is complete, the road entrance is in, and hydro is already at the road. This is a shovel-ready building lot, not a bureaucratic project.

Three minutes to downtown Perth for groceries, coffee, the farmers' market, and everything else that makes this town worth choosing. Highway 7 is right there when you need it. Christie Lake Road is paved and maintained year-round, so you are not trading convenience for country. You are getting both. If you have been sketching your retirement home for years, or you are ready to leave the city behind and build something that fits the life you actually want, this is the canvas. Bring your builder, bring your plans, and start. Call today to walk the lot.

Two homes. One waterfront. Zero compromises. Most lake properties force a choice: do you bring family, or do you finally get the quiet you came for? This rare Clayton Lake home lets you do both. Two fully self-contained units under one roof, each with its own kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, furnace, and electrical panel. Real independence, not a shared hallway with a closed door. The lower walk-out level offers two bedrooms, an office/bedroom, and a three-season sunroom where the lake becomes part of the everyday view. Radiant in-floor heat keeps winter mornings warm underfoot. Upstairs, four more bedrooms, a four-season sunroom built for year-round use, and a private balcony positioned for watching the sunset reflecting off the water. Seven bedrooms and five bathrooms total. Enough room for the whole family, and enough separation that everyone still likes each other on Monday morning. Outside, Clayton Lake delivers what buyers keep asking for and rarely find: a clean shoreline with minimal weeds, your own dock and boat launch, and a short walk to the Clayton general store and parks. Year-round road access. Snowmobile trails close by for the winter months. This is a family compound built for generations. Bring aging family members close while preserving everyone's independence. Help an adult child step into ownership without sacrificing your own space. Or hold it as the gathering place every summer for the next thirty years. Waterfront properties with two complete living spaces appear once in a decade. The families who find them tend not to let go. Book your private showing before another family does.

A rare opportunity on Palmerston Lake: 9.44 acres of pristine waterfront, accessible by boat, with over 1,200 feet of shoreline and two quiet bays of its own. The land is treed with mature mixed forest and bordered by thousands of acres of Crown land. There are no neighbours in sight, and given the surrounding protected wilderness, there likely never will be. Palmerston Lake is one of the most sought-after lakes in the Ottawa Valley, known for its deep, clean water and limited development. A new dock is already in place, ready for morning swims or quiet evenings on the water. A recently added outhouse and a mostly cleared building site mark the beginning of what comes next, whether that is a custom cottage tucked into the trees or a simple wilderness retreat under the stars.Access is by boat, with seasonal slip rental available at the Palmerston Lake Marina ($700 for the 2025 season). An old logging road through the Crown land offers potential 4WD access during construction, simplifying the build process before you settle back into the quieter water-access rhythm. The land borders thousands of acres of Crown land laced with ATV and snowmobile trails, open through every season. This is the kind of property that almost never comes available: large, private, untouched, and surrounded by protected wilderness. A rare chance to own a piece of the Ottawa Valley that the rest of the world will never reach.

Imagine stepping off your own property and onto 296 km of year-round trail. The Ottawa Valley Rail Trail sits less than 100 metres down the road, ready for cycling, walking, ATVing, and winter snowmobiling straight from your future front door. This private 1.9-acre lot is tucked into a quiet forest setting, the kind of place built for a country retreat without the long-drive isolation. Carleton Place is 15 minutes away, Smiths Falls just 8, and Kanata only 30, so amenities and the commute stay easy. The hard part is already handled: a drilled well is in, the lot sits on a municipally maintained road, and hydro runs to the lot line. High-speed internet and cell service are available, so working from the woods is genuinely an option. Rural zoning opens the door to more than a home and garage-workshop, it also allows home-based businesses and bed & breakfasts. A few kilometres on, the Lanark Community Forest adds even more trails for hiking and exploring. This is a blank canvas with the groundwork already laid, waiting for the right plan and the right owner. Bring your builder, bring your ideas, and walk it with your agent. Please do not walk the land without a real estate agent present.

Stop paying someone else's mortgage. This 2013 Barrhaven townhome condo is move-in ready, freshly painted, and priced to sell to whoever moves quickest. The main floor is open and smartly laid out: stainless appliances, smart kitchen layout, and clean laminate and tile that flow into a dining and living space built for real life. No renos waiting on weekends. Step out to a private patio that becomes the morning coffee spot you didn't know you needed. Downstairs, two bedrooms with brand new carpet, each with its own bathroom. No more fighting over counter space, and overnight guests can have their own setup. In-unit laundry, natural gas heat, central A/C, and a dedicated parking spot mean no laundromat runs and no winter car shuffle. And because this is a rare ground-floor unit, groceries never have to climb stairs again. The location is the real flex here. Five minutes on foot to Half Moon Bay Park and the Stonebridge Trail system. The nearby rec centre covers the rink, pool, turf, courts, gym, and classes. Strandherd Drive's groceries and shops are right there. Downtown Ottawa, thirty minutes. Units like this don't sit in Barrhaven at this price. Book a showing before someone else does.

Past a kilometre of untouched Crown shoreline, where the lake opens wide and the cottages thin out, 6.69 acres of forested waterfront come into view. Step off the boat onto over 1,400 feet of private frontage on Palmerston Lake, bordered by more than 1,000 acres of Crown land. This is the kind of quiet you can only reach by water. The cottage was built in 2000 by the current owner, using large logs cut from the surrounding land. For years before and during construction, the family stayed in the small bunkie down the forest path. That care and patience shows throughout: timberframe accents, wide-plank pine floors, and a great room with a soaring ceiling, anchored by a fieldstone fireplace.Three bedrooms and two full baths offer comfortable space for family and guests. A woodstove warms the lower-level family room. The original bunkie still stands, providing a quiet retreat for visitors or a peaceful studio space. The off-grid systems are designed for genuine comfort. A substantial solar and battery setup handles daily needs, with a generator for backup. Lake water intake, full septic, and infrastructure sized for year-round living. Outside, deep clean water for swimming and fishing. A firepit near the water's edge for evenings under the stars. Trails through the property connect to the neighbouring Crown land, with access to ATV and snowmobile routes. Loons call across the water in the morning. The lake stretches uninterrupted to the horizon. Ottawa and Kingston are each about an hour and a half away, far enough to leave the pace of the city behind. A rare offering, and a true legacy property.

The Herb Garden is one of the Ottawa Valley's most established destination properties, a turn-key business with multiple revenue streams already in motion. Set on 14 landscaped acres, this is a rare chance to step into an enterprise that took decades to build. The wedding venue is the centrepiece. A premier name in the region, it draws couples from across Eastern Ontario for receptions of 75 to 100 guests inside a beautifully converted heritage barn, complete with bar and catering prep space. The Bergamot Barn houses bridal and groom suites plus a weather-proof indoor ceremony option, while landscaped grounds offer multiple outdoor ceremony sites and ample room for tented events at greater scale. Comfrey Cottage, the original homestead, operates as a gift shop and gallery, an additional retail touchpoint for visiting guests. A long-running nursery business adds a second income stream. Two heated greenhouses and a shaded structure supply herbs and perennials to a loyal customer base each spring, with clear runway to extend the season and grow through targeted marketing. A solar installation generates roughly $11,000 to $12,000 per year in supplemental income, with several years remaining on the contract. A four bedroom farmhouse on site provides owner or staff accommodation. Four historic barns and recent upgrades to key systems round out the infrastructure picture, an operationally sound asset, not a project. Established brand. Diversified income. Strong community roots. Properties like this almost never come to market. Contact the listing agents for revenue figures and a full information package.

The hard part is already done. Between 2019 and 2023, this Farren Lake cottage was rebuilt from the studs out, every surface, system, and finish. Maibec siding, metal roofs, all new windows and doors, white cedar ceilings, maple hardwood throughout, a quartz kitchen with new appliances, fresh plumbing, a 100 amp panel, and a WETT-certified wood stove. Walk in, light a fire, pour a drink. There is nothing left to do. The main cottage is a smartly laid out three-bedroom with a bright open living and dining area, plus a screened sunroom that runs the full lakeside of the building. The renovated bunkie has a Murphy bed, a two-piece bathroom, and its own attached workshop, perfect for guests, kids who want their own space, or anyone who wants a separate place to work on projects. Step out the door and the lake is right there. Twenty plus feet of water at the end of the dock, rocky natural shoreline, and the kind of clarity Farren Lake is known for. Excellent bass fishing, no public access, almost no boat traffic, only a handful of cottages past you on a quiet dead end road. Just you, the loons, and the occasional deer wandering through. Walking distance to River House Vineyard Winery. Forty minutes to Perth, ninety to Kingston, ninety to Ottawa.

Perth has a way of staying with you. The slower pace, the limestone architecture, the sense that a good life is still lived at a human scale. Perthmore was built with that understanding, and it shows in this lovely 2017 townhome. Inside, the main floor is designed for effortless single-floor living. The primary bedroom and its ensuite are steps from the kitchen, the laundry is on the same level, and the hardwood floors and tile run throughout without a threshold in sight. Large windows with custom blinds pull in natural light across the open floor plan. The kitchen anchors the space with quartz countertops and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The screened Sunspace porch extends your living season without requiring a jacket. Downstairs, a finished lower level adds meaningful flexibility: a second bedroom with walk-in closet and a full bath make it a proper guest suite, a home office with privacy, or a comfortable space for family when they visit. Step out from the lower level onto the sunken patio, where privacy fencing creates a sheltered outdoor room. Beyond it, manicured garden beds carry colour and texture through the seasons, ready to enjoy without demanding your weekend. Past the property line, a nature park and pond is planned that will permanently protect that green horizon. Outside, the brick and vinyl exterior asks little of you, while the attached garage and double-wide driveway handle the practical realities comfortably. Perthmore townhomes surface infrequently - this corner of Perth has earned its reputation quietly, through people who chose it and stayed. Book your showing today to come walk through your new home!

Every spring, the maples wake up on this 29 acre haven before anything else. The sellers have been tapping them for years - buckets on the trees, syrup boiling down over an outdoor burner - and that ritual is yours now if you want it. Trails wind through the mature hardwood bush behind the house, a bountiful forest abundant with wildlife, native plants, and an endless supply of firewood your family will enjoy for decades to come. The home is warm, well-built, and designed for comfort: built in 2005, three bedrooms up including a primary with its own ensuite and soaker tub, a kitchen and dining space that invites people to linger, and a walkout lower level with a fourth bedroom or office. Heat is never a concern. Electric forced air handles the baseline, and the woodstove, tied directly into the ductwork, can warm the whole house from one fire. And then there is the garage. Three bays. Timberframe construction. A loft above. It is the kind of structure that stops people mid-step when they first see it. Ideal for a woodworker, a mechanic, a collector, or anyone with a serious hobby, this garage will make you realize you have been compromising your whole life. It is not an add-on. It is a destination. The location completes the picture. Swim in the clean, deep, fast-moving water of the Mississippi River just three minutes away. Blue Heron Golf Club is four minutes down the road. Perth is twelve minutes away. Kanata is forty-five. Far enough to feel like you've left. Close enough that you actually will. Land with character, a home worth coming back to, and a garage that exceeds every expectation. If the idea of tapping your own maples next March is more than a passing thought, come see this house before someone else does.

Palmerston is known for deep, clean water, incredible fishing, and uncrowded shores.

A new furnace and air conditioning system (2021) keeps you comfortable year-round.Outside, the property feels like your own private park. A newer deck (2022) sits at the water's edge, connected to a floating dock (2023) for swimming and easy boat access off the shoreline.

Paddle boards, kayaks, and a canoe are included and ready to go. A 2019 pontoon boat and aluminum fishing boat are also available for purchase, so you can be on the water the day you move in.Located roughly 1.5 hours from both Ottawa and Kingston, this is the kind of place where a family can spend the whole summer, work remotely through the week, and never want to leave.

Step onto the deck with your morning coffee, listen to the loons, and watch the mist lift off Kennebec Lake. This is what you bought a cottage country home for. Tucked at the end of a quiet, privately maintained road, 1718 Blue Heron Ridge is a custom raised bungalow with 4,000 square feet of finished living space, built for the way families actually live, with room to spread out, host the grandkids, or set up multi-generational living without anyone tripping over each other.

A wood-burning fireplace warms the living room. A den with custom cabinetry and a dedicated home office mean working from the lake is a real option, not a fantasy. The primary suite is generous, with a luxurious ensuite and walk-in closet. An indoor hot tub looks out over the water, and the second bathroom hides a full cedar sauna.

One hour to Kingston, two to Ottawa, three to downtown Toronto. Book your private tour before someone else calls it home.

What would your mornings look like with 650 feet of river at your doorstep? On this 19-acre waterfront parcel along the Tay River, that question stops being hypothetical. The river runs wide and calm here, the kind of water that calls you out in a canoe at dawn and keeps you sitting on the shore long after sunset. From this stretch, you can paddle right into the heart of Perth or further out into the Rideau waterway system, a network of lakes and locks that most Canadians only ever visit on vacation. The land itself is a thoughtful mix of open spaces and mature trees, offering the freedom to site your home exactly where the view moves you most. A road entrance is already in place and hydro is available at the road, so the practical side of building is well ahead of where most vacant land starts. Waterfront acreage like this is genuinely hard to find in this part of Ontario, and it is even harder to find with infrastructure already in place. This is 19 acres of privacy, natural beauty, and a river that changes with every season, minutes from the shops and restaurants of Perth but feeling like a world that you get to have entirely to yourself. If you have been waiting for the right piece of land to build the home you have always pictured, this is the canvas.
